Waffle House Wedding in Georgia
"Waffle House is as much a part of our lives as our kids are," said the bride in this artistically rich multimedia slideshow from the Gwinnett Daily Post in Georgia. She's been working with her now groom at the iconic Southern chain for almost three years, so when he had to work on the wedding day, she knew it was the fated venue. Like Dan Dickinson of the blog VJArmy, I am so entranced by this. The colors, the love, and the thought of having celebratory grits and hash browns.

I am very disappointed that he's not wearing a clip-on tie. I don't really miss spending time in Gwinnett.

... I feel awkward just looking at this. Could you imagine actually being there?

It is awesomely un-apologetic. That would have been a helluva wedding to attend (but probably not by me - not sure if my brown self would be welcome.)

I believe that is the first time I've seen someone smoke (maybe multiple times??) in the middle of their wedding ceremony.

Dale: ummm, Boss? I know this is short notcie, but can i have the weekend of the 20th off? You know, Pam and myself are getting married.
Morning MOD: This weekend, Dale? I don't know. Supposedly, there is a convention in town and we may be a little busy. ...and I suppose if I give you the weekend off, I will need to give Pam the weekend off as well. Let me see if I can work rearrange the schedule and get someone to cover for y'all. Hey. Wait. Why didn't I get an invitation?
Dale: Ummmm. You did. Maybe it got lost in the mail?
Morning MOD: You know, now that I remeber right, that convention is suppose to be huge. I don't think I can let you have off.
Dale: Ahhhhhh, man. (shucks).

wow. This reminds me of the about two years my best friends and i spent in waffle house in highschool. we wasted SO much time in there, when we walked in, Moon (one of the waitresses) granted us the privlide of being the the flyswatter. She literally gave us a flyswatter when we walked in. sometimes, we got free coffee if we swatted enough flies.
one day, we reaslized that if we didnt stop going for good, we would never get out. the same people were in there everyday. we were just drinking coffee, and I said, "you know, this should be our last visit, or we'll never get out."
I guess this is what would have happens when you don't get out of wafflehouse in highschool. GO SOUTH! WOO!

Ah yes, nothing tugs at the heartstrings more than a bride in a beautiful wedding dress... holding a Marlboro in one hand, and a Coors Light in the other.
*sniff* ... excuse me ... *sniff* ... something in my eye...

i'll take this over any of the bloated east coast weddings complete with sushi bar, viennese table, eleven-piece orchestra and $50,000 worth of flowers i've been to in the last twenty years any day.

for a wedding as high class as this....the photography is actually really good. at first i thought the pictures are too good, maybe it was a fake? but then i saw that the photographer from the paper was the wedding photographer

my my, such a group of sophisticates to pass judgement on the poor misguided hicks. I have to agree with carriebwc, even though its not my type of wedding, i wish them all the luck,. and remind me not to post pics of my wedding, dont think i could handle the critisism.

I think they're going to need more than luck.

"...poor misguided hicks."
Haha! roflol.
Huney, better stop it...

Didn't I see that on CMT's "My Big Fat Redneck Wedding?"
@fastfoodcritic: ROFL! The real tear-jerker is the part where they get their wedding rings tattooed on.

Hear, hear carriebwc! What a wonderful idea--wedding site and caterer all in one (I hope they got their h-browns scattered, smothered and covered)...

God Bless America.

Very lowkey and romantic in a non-sophisicated way. I agree with carriebwc. It was their style, they are happy, and they sure didn't end up in debt up to their eyebrows. Best wishes to the happy couple! Long may they live and love!
