Does it get any more redneck than this?

You know you live in redneck hell when the local farm feed and outdoor supply has a bridal registry.

Absolutely true.

Whoa.

I thought the worst I had seen was a convenience store that sold 'hog waterers'; these are castiron doohickeys that screw onto a faucet, the hog bumps it with his snout and gets water, when he walks off the water shuts off. Like this:

These were right next to the cash register and the box was only about 2/3 full. Meaning there was a 'impulse purchase' market in the local area for them.

But a feed store bridal registry has that beat by a long shot.

Then I'm not telling either of you two that I got married in a barn.

Absolutely true.

And I'm not telling you that when I got hitched at the Justice of the Peace, a guy just getting out of jail loaned us two bucks for the license and served as one of our witnesses.

Having grown up in farm country I don't think it's that big a deal...there's a difference between redneck and rural. Farm people can have different needs and wants compared to people living in the big city. My best friend and his wife still live back home, out in the country. She's been big on horses all her life, and in fact works at the local Tractor Supply store; I suspect that if she had to choose between her horses and her husband the horses would probably win. It's been too many years now to remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure they had a few wedding gifts that came from Tractor Supply or Fleet and Farm.

My brother lives in the middle of nowhere Minnesota, and gets all of his stuff (everything that a college kid could need, other than possibly his beer) at the Fleet Farm.

3 of my cousins weddings had the receptions at the county fairgrounds. My dad and I left one of them after about 30 minutes to watch a Demo Derby that was going on across the parking lot.

I'm pretty sure that one of my uncles got a tractor as a wedding gift.

Wouldn't that be redneck heaven?

So lets see instead of people registering for a bunch of crap they don't really need, they are able to register for things that they can actually use in their daily lives. And you see a problem with this? Seems much more reasonable to me than some of the places that people register.

I once holidayed at a little fishing town in Western Australia, where the bait shop did suit hire.

Cousin by marriage got married in bowling alley. But.svrex wins.

A bowling alley...I want that for my reception.

Up the road from my house is a Hunting Lodge, "Turkey Trot Acres". They also host parties and events, which most of the time is a hassel for the other people living near it ( like putting up orange cones and illegaly closing the road, long streatches of cars and trucks parked on both sides of a narrow back road...) Well, my future M.I.L. went to a party there, put on by the gym she goes to. Now she is pushing to have the reception at Turkey Trot. My response to that was "As soon as we get there I will walk thrue the woods and be back at my house is 10 minets and stay there"
