Redneck Wedding

When the preacher asked Do you take this man
The groom thought this was a thrill
The bride replied I may as well
Being no one else will
When the preacher said Do you take this woman
For your awful wedded wife
The groom replied Oh my
You mean the sentence is for life
Two families sitting side by side
Watching each other like hawks
When the Bride and groom stepped outside
Instead of rice, they threw rocks.
It was a romance made in heaven
If you want to know the truth
She was in love with his pick up truck
And he loved her front tooth
They went on their honeymoon
To a cabin on top of the hill
There was furniture on the front lawn
In the back there was a still
He promised her he’d do his best
And some day they’d have it made
So he decided to go back to school
And finish second grade
Now you might think this is funny
And filled your heart with laughter
But they never worried about material things
So they lived happily ever after.

Your funny writes are now a fashion statement of wit, and I must applaud you for bringing it so fresh and humorous still. One love with all my thanks and gratitude to your friendship and inspiration ... I am breaking a 2 weeks hiatus to enjoy more of the soup.

Oh Vince!! This is halarious, sounds like a Jeff Foxworthy routine. Love is what makes the world go around not material things however, we are often measured by our possessions. Thanks for the laugh!
