Anna and Carl Anna and Carl are like two crazy kids in love. Carl is a proud redneck through and through who spends his days growing pumpkins, tending to horses and sharing fresh chicken eggs with his family and friends. Anna is a beautiful countrywoman with a passion for horses (and for life). Carl likes to dumpster dive, go to garage sales and auctions, always in search of his next prize (or just something really quirky to collect). A bargain to Carl is like the Holy Grail. Anna thinks it's all crazy, but she appreciates the fact he manages to get so much cool stuff for nothing or next to nothing. She may look proper, but this is one lady who wants her wedding feast to feature foods like pig, chicken and squirrel. |

Geneva and Kyle Geneva and Kyle are 18 years old, redneck and in love. Deep in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee, this worry-free couple chose the public golf course with its busy driving range for their chapel. Fearing neither flying golf balls nor Geneva's traditional parents, they're going whole hog with all the fixings -- pork rinds, ground souse meat and pickled pig's feet. Attire is camo for all the guests. A tractor brings in the bride. That is, if the groom survives his own bachelor party -- a full-on bottle rocket war where the fireworks are aimed at each other. Somehow, these two are set on showing their friends and family that they're young and fun, but their marriage is the real deal with a beautiful country-themed wedding in the great outdoors. |
