Discussion Topic: On Vermont's "Redneck" Wedding
From WCAX TV News:
Bridesmaids dressed in camouflage and groomsmen that smoke and chew -- all part of a self-proclaimed redneck wedding in Sheldon, Vermont.
[The bride’s] ring is made of candy. [The couples] car fully decked in camouflage. [And i]nside the reception hall, the decorations were even more elaborate. "All country music, the antler vases, the hanging deer. The hanging deer looks like it's been shot," [the bride] said.
Check out the video and tell us what you think: Tacky? Cool? Whatever? [Do you think the bridesmaids will be able to wear their dresses again?]
To each their own.

They might want some long sleeves, but it looks like they (the dresses) could be great come deer season.

It's nice to know that there are people out there that do in fact use their brains and break away from tradition.

Sounds fun, but might there be a more appropriate occasion for this sort of thing? Graduation maybe? Something that is not affiliated with religion.
