Ron and Suzy's Big Redneck Wedding
Ron and Suzy share their wedding experience from CMT's My Big Redneck Wedding
Ron's Blog
Hey! My name's Ron; my boys call me "Pappy." I live in a place called Norco where I met this gal Suzy (didn't remember her name at first when she gave her phone number to call after we met and all, but since then I've learned it). Anyway, after a time we decided to get married. I figured at my age and hers, she been married a few before, a small kinda wedd'n would do. But like all gals they want something to remember. So not hav'n the heart to let her down, I agreed. Well, needless to say we had one hell of a rodeo wedd'n and all, something I guess she had only read about in fairy tale stories.
Now, hav'n been married for a few months, things are good as they were before. Can't find much to complain bout, except that now wees married, suddenly she seems to think that when she need some money for somethin it's OK to just reach in my pocket. Well this didn't happen before we got hitched. So I kinda set things straight with her and opened up another account at the bank -- one for my money and one for hers.
Things are good. I think I got a good woman. Her kind ain't easy to find (good heart, pretty, strong, can ride a horse, likes her beer, hang with me and the boys) and when all said and done at the end off the day she puts out her cigarette, lays her head down beside mine and still tells me she loves me. Guess I done alright.
Suzy's Blog
My name is Suzy Burger. I live in Norco Calif. (Horsetown, USA). This is where Ron and I met. I was out having a drink and I had seen him before in there. He usually rode his horse in with his hot girlfriends ... haha ... anyway he was leaving and I asked him why he was leaving. He kinda smiled and walked out. Well I guess he came back in and I was talking to someone else, and he left again. His friend John grabbed me and led me out to where he was getting on his horse. Well John told Ron I wanted a ride, so he asked me and I said yes, got on the horse and he asked me where I wanted to go. I said wherever you're going. I guess I found out later that he thought I was some city girl that wanted a ride around the parking lot ... haha ... not!!! That's how we met.
Ron and I do everything together, from cleaning stalls to playing men's softball, dancing and riding and what ever fun activities we can find to do on horses.
As far as our wedding, well, it wasn't really a decision to have a redneck wedding. That's just who we are and it wouldn't have been any other way. I always dreamed as a girl to either ride up on a horse or horse drawn carriage when I was getting married, and thanks to our good friend "Ranger John," he made it happen. I guess our biggest goal for the wedding was to have everyone have the best time and for it to be as memorable for us as ever, and boy did it happen.
Our plans for the future, well, to take every day as if it was our last, to enjoy our family and friends and just be as happy as we can with each other for the rest of our lives.

Brandon says:
Ron I believe that dumpster diving to get your wife a wedding gift is a good way to save time and money.
Renee says:
I loved you guys wedding! It’s what I want for my wedding.
Now Ron, I don’t know about the dumpster diving thing! I guess it was pretty time consumming. Well hope everything is well.
Cara says:
Congrats Ron & Suzy! What a great wedding - Suzy looked beautiful :) Ron sure cleans up good too! I like the gift from the “girly” store you bought - cutting the sleeves off was a nice touch :)
Congrats & Well wishes!

Congratulations on your wedding! Suzy, you were a beautiful bride and Ron, we’ve never seen you look happier. Don’t know though if I would’ve gone with Wrangler - real cowboys go with Carhart. And glad to see you got rid of the Miata - the horse is more your style.

Debbie says:
She is not the only one in town that feels u have disgrace us!
Sam says:
I’m really sorry you guys feel that way, you must be the only 2 in town that feel that way, we have heard nothing but good things, coming from people in the grocery store to our local police and fireman on how much fun they had watching and seeing and knowing how much fun “OUR” town is…..
Devon says:
Not all of norco is like that.
only some people in norco are cowboys or cowgirls.
but personal i think the show was funny.
Breanne says:
Hi Uncle Ron.
Glad to see you are happy. Different… but nice. Would love to meet your new bride. Your family misses you and thinks of you often. I love you.
Love Always.
Your Niece
Anita says:
Suzy, take good care of him. He can run, but, darn it, those pretty eyes gave him away. I knew him 3 decades ago and he was a fun guy. My heart has been afflicted with a similar fungi. We will celebrate our 17th anniversary next month. I tell him he’s the best mistake I ever made. I will tell you something about yours that I’m not sure he’s shared with you. We learned something from his dear mother (God rest her soul, and his father’s, too). Now bbq’d meat is not good enough for me without this. We don’t have much room in our apt to grill or bbq, but I keep a bottle of ABC sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) in our fridge just in case. I sure hope you’re not allergic to peanuts. I haven’t been able to find a peanut sauce bottled or served that is as heavenly as his mother’s was. Tell your guy that I thank him for all those good memories, especially the delicious ones! Congratulations to you both!
uncle Ron says:
Hey Breanne,
How’s my favorite niece? E-mail me and we’ll talk and of course I wpould Love to see you.
Kathy Walter says:
Suzy
I have a question for you. I love your dress that you wore. where did you get it & about how much did it cost. Me & my fiance are planing a redneck type wedding also.
thanks
kathy
SUZY says:
Hi Kathy, you can go onto Renton Western Wear. Hope you enjoyed the show and good luck with your wedding.
SUZY says:
Breanne and Anita, would love to talk to you, please e-mail me @ hurstroms@cwllaw.com
Suzy
Anita says:
Hi Suzy - I was practically a kid when our families were acquainted. It looks like Pappy’s been through some changes. I suppose many of us have a skeleton or two we’d like to forget. (Except me. I’m married to mine.) Perhaps Pappy has some memories from that time that he’s struggled with. I’m happy to see that he is reunited with his niece. Pappy & Suzy, I wish you both a lot of love, joy & peace. Keep up the laughter, and Happy Valentine’s Day! (P.S. I loved both your outfits. You two look great together!)
SUZY says:
Hi Anita, - thanks for responding. I’m not sure but Ron said the Anita he remembered was Sandys sister, is this you?
Anita says:
Yes! I’m at work right now. (I left a little late this morning, as usual, and I’m just two miles from home.) So I’ll write later. I haven’t talked to Sandy, yet, since Friday. Needless to say, we were pretty WOWed!
Later!
SUZY says:
Cool, use my e-mail address if you don’t mind. look forward to talking with you.
maggiethecat says:
Suzy and Ron, Loved the wedding. Good luck to you both and much happiness. You were a lovely bride and Ron a hansome goom. God bless.
Anita says:
Ron, you hansome goom (thought that was funny), I just wanted to let you know that it was great to see you again. (Perhaps a little too much of you :P) Things are always reminding us of the past, aren’t they? Especially songs that we heard back then. Those memories are not always pleasant. That’s life. A lot of celebrations and regrets. We’re in our 50’s now. This is just a little voice from the past to tell you that we ALL wish you well and we hope that Suzy can be the one to help you settle down and watch a beautiful sunset. That’s all.
Me go now.
Ron says:
Anita,
Thank You! I hope all is well with all your family.
You said “you married your skeleton”, I live with mine inside of me (everyday)with regrets things I cannot change, mistakes I wish I hadn’t made.
But I’ve learned as you get older you keep the things precious to you closer and nurture them and not follow the
paths of the past.
I too have fond memories of the past, at times I look at old photographs the few I still have.
Please, ronrburger@hotmail.com
You take care!
Eric B says:
Hey whats up Ron? This is Eric Boyd. Just caught your episode on CMT. Congrats! Been a few years since we talked. Looks like everything is going well for you. I still live in Corona, not to far from you. Just thought I’d say hi. Also my dad (George) says hi also and wishes you the best.
Take care
Amber says:
I would like to know what Susy’s tatoo is. The one that you can see when Ron is removing her garder..its impressive.
Thanks and congratulations!
LeAnn says:
Suzy was a gorgeous bride and the cowgirl hat made a nice touch ecspecially for a country wedding
Concenred says:
This one won’t last…way too much focus on getting drunk…the party will destroy this marriage.

Dana says:
Hi Suzy,
Your wedding looked like a blast! I was wondering if you ever got your kegs delivered to you. I wouldn’t have trusted that little guy at the store you went to when he tried to show you the little Coors keg and then didn’t even write your order down! That would have made me nervous.
SUZY says:
Dana, yes we did get them, but not from him, made me way to nervous….haha…thanks for watching, and yes, we had a “BLAST”…..
seabee570 says:

Someone who knows says:

kansas redneck says:
people need to quit leaving mean comments they remind me of some of the idiots i work with and went to school with loved ur episode and for the people with the dumpster diving comments that is not ron and suzy’s episode its anna and carl’s episode which was the first one for my big redneck wedding i think they get confused because both brides are wearing white cowboy hats and similar dresses for their weddings have fun in ur marriage and did ron ever figure out his stool invention yet cant wait for season two
Kevin from Puyallup, WA says:
Ron and Suzy,
Your weeding is my favorite so far on the show. I love the bar stool Ron. Did you put a motor on it yet? I still can not figure out why the Wrangler tattoo.
Gina, It is people like you with your comment is what makes your town look like trash. I am orginally from California, and I am quite aware of the town of Norco.
Tina says:
Suzy & Ron,
Just discovered your blog&wanted to let ya’ll know we LOVED your wedding!! We have watched that episode 4 times!It is the best one yet. Wonderfully unconventional, just like we like it!We come form a small town in Ga. called Grovetown and we IMMEDIATELY knew we had to have a wedding like yours-only it will be behind the bar we met at.Good luck to both of ya’ll and screw all of the mean people who have nothing nice to say.Like my mama always said-”If you don’t have nothing nice to say, just shut up”!PS- LOVED the stool!
Nicole says:
