Redneck Wedding

Roland and I were invited to the wedding of a friend of his from way back. He hadn't seen him in a very long time so we decided that we would go to the wedding, what the heck. Well, let me tell you it was one interesting afternoon. The wedding itself was beautiful. It was set outside in a garden and the afternoon was perfect. It was sunny, but not too warm. Our first clue into the redneckedness (my own word!) was when one of the bridemaids walked down the aisle with a tattoo from her cleavage to her chin covering he WHOLE front! Redneck moment #1!

We next move onto the reception. It is decorated "interesting", but we grab a drink and look around. Up front we see the wedding cake and it is black and white, Redneck moment #2. To each his own, but a black and white wedding cake doesn't spell LOVE to me. At the reception we see many lovely mullets as well. That was truly a treat!

To top off the fun, we as former DJs always enjoy seeing how other DJs handle weddings. This DJ needed a tutorial. He never played any background music, when he did it was very low and he just needed HELP. I asked Ro if I could go up and give him pointers, but he suggested I not.

Lastly, Redneck moment #3 the food came out. When we saw it we decided to go out to dinner. Basically wedding food is pretty standard, but this looked a bit scary. Boiled chicken, bright yellow potato and macaroni salad, deli platters and tossed salad. I ate tossed salad because it looked safe.

Sorry if this comes across as snobbish, I'm really not, but it was quite an interesting day!

love it. i hate going to weddings were the dj only plays 80's music. i love rock lobster as much as the next girl, but can you really DANCE to it?

at my husband's cousin's wedding reception they served... potluck. so take your pick of about 20 different types of casserole. blech. it was awful.

they also do this weird thing in his hometown were they make the couple open all of their gifts in front of everyone. um, awkward? what if you, as a bride, HATE your gift? what if you as an invitee do something awful like re-gift, and the original gifter is THERE? um, awkward!

i'm so taking up too much room in the comment box!
