DACULA - As the famous twang of Hank Williams Jr. blasted from an SUV stereo Friday afternoon, about 30 folks socialized, sipped soda and puffed on cigarettes.
No, this wasn't a Fourth of July backyard barbecue. It was the run-up to a wedding.
In a Waffle House parking lot.
The lucky couple, George "Bubba" Mathis and Pamela Christian - both 23 and employees at the Dacula diner located at the Ga. Highway 316/U.S. Highway 29 interchange - wouldn't have it any other way.
"I don't know, it's something different," Mathis said while fixing his tie prior to the ceremony.
For years, the couple tried to marry on their Independence Day anniversary. But the bride was always scheduled to work. Instead of waiting any longer - she got the day off at the last minute; Mathis had to report for the morning shift - the couple of nine years decided to seal the deal at work.
The result was what a NASCAR tailgate might be like if Hank Jr. himself stopped by with all his rowdy friends: Loud and proud - country music, storytelling and plenty of Dale Earnhardt paraphernalia - and not an iota of pretentiousness.
Shortly after exchanging vows under the shade of a tree next to the parking lot, both man and wife let out sighs of relief as they picked up their two little blonde girls and chatted with family and friends. But there was not time to relax - the wedding cake had to be cut inside.
"It's been crazy, madness," the bride said. "Finally, everything worked out."
Standing nearby, the father of the newly minted Mrs. Pamela Mathis, William Christopher, wondered if anyone had videotaped the ceremony. He wants to send it in to CMT.
"I think it's pretty redneck myself," he said, laughing. "But I'm a redneck anyway, so."
The couple plans to honeymoon Monday and Tuesday, but then it's back to work.
The destination?
"I don't know yet," Mathis said.
----
I'm willing to bet that they have an all inclusive honeymoon at the Motel 8 down the road, cause it does have a free continental breakfast (re: ceral and 3 day old bagels).
There is no commentary that I can give that will surpass the wonderous joy posessed in the photos of the wedding.
Be sure to check out the photo gallery, or watch the slideshow at the end of the attched article (above)

The correct name would be "hillbilly" not "Redneck". Rednecks are in the Oklahoma/Texas area, Hillbillys are Missouri/Arkansas/and east into the mountains.
------
HILLbilly generally refers to rural people living in the remote mountainous regions of the Eastern U.S.
The redneck stereotype can be applied to any one if they display certain behaviors.
Hick can also be used as it generally pertains to people who are are unsophisticated or ignorant or just plain dumb.
You go slingin' that hillbilly shit 'round here boy (Missouri), you might be findin' yo'self in a heap o' trouble. We's proud to be redneck hicks. 'Least we ain't no inbred hill folk.

I come from a long line of rednecks. I can't tell you how many weddings I've been to that are exactly like this. My uncle wore his best NASCAR T-shirt to my sisters wedding. There was a keg in the church at my cousins wedding. I've also been to a reception at The Bob Evans.
I'm so glad I left and moved to the city.

wow... no wonder rednecks have a hard time believing in the theory of evolution. When you look at the family pictures... you can't perceive anything evolved.
on the other hand, I find it harder to believe that these family pictures were part of God's plan.
Rednecks just can't be explained!

Shit... my wedding will probably end up being in the back pasture at my dad's farm. We'll serve Mellow Mushroom and keg beer. You'll all be invited, naturally.

They had to get married in a parking lot because of their lifetime supply to dead-end jobs.
And somehow that cow with Downs and the sheet wrapped around her is still the least offensive looking of these people.
Staggering.

Well it was nice to see that he actually took his hat off for the ceremony. The only thing missing is them smoking during the vows, and the charming photos of them throwing some sort of baby sick over each other is a moment to be cherished forever.

I love how the fat whore wore a white dress even though she is clearly not a virign by her off spring.
I pity the off spring actually.
