Amber and John's Redneck Wedding Blog
Amber and John share their experience from My Big Redneck Wedding.
Our experience with the wedding was a great one. We had so much fun planning this and the end was all worth it. But we both have decided that we don't want to go through any of that again! Even though it was fun there was headaches too. But I swear to you if it wasn't for our families it would have never been possible. We love our families and thank them so much for everything!

Amber and John, I loved, loved, loved your wedding! You guys are super fun. Your Mother in law is a kick! she seems like alot of fun. Your lil girl is soooo cute. Good luck and God bless you all!
ian says:
Take care of your teeth. To be so young and not to have your teeth is sad. Please clean up enviroment and your appearance if not for you at least for your child.

To whom it concerns;
I am becoming very disgusted with the types of Programing shown on CMT. Does the Network have such a low budget that it cannot afford quality programs. There is a limit to how much Redneck crap a person can stand. Prehaps you people need to look into hiring someone that can develope some program schedule that does not include constant showings of REDNECK WEDDINGS I do enjoy the Videos that are shown in the mornings and the countdown of the top twenty. I like the Country Styled movies from time to time. You did at one time show the Grand Ole Opry and a good variety of Country shows. Put re-runs of Hee Haw on or Ralph Emory Live, Crook and Chase those types of programs. Now I watch RFD TV to get the good QUALITY programs.
Please! do something about your programming or you will lose me and my numerous friends and Family.
Sincerely
Jon M. Christenson

Allison says:
As a life long resident of Echols county, this program has certainly embarrased me and my family. I hope John and Amber are happy with themselves and the humiliation they have caused the entire county with their wedding; keep in mind there is a difference between being a redneck and being white trash.
Lynn says:
Amber and John were great, to each his own. Well wishes only please! this was their wedding day for goodness sake. You whom don’t like the show turn it off, duh!
Lynn says:
And way to go CMT this show is a blast, for get those up tight weddings we see everyday these weddings are fun and different and that is cool in it’s self! Hats off to CMT for airing something new.
Allison says:
My family and I did turn off this ridiculous show. However, since there was an article in the newspaper and the program is broadcasted nationwide, it is a little hard to get away from it. Also, am I the only person that thinks a baby has no place “mud bogging” even if they are in a car seat?!! Just a couple of months ago, children were killed in this same county while their “adult” caretakers had fun in the mud; how about using a little common sense.
Chyanne says:
What happened to the other crew from Trick my Truck? Those guys were great. Where can I go to apply for our truck to be done?
Curious,
Chyanne
Geneva&Kyle says:
Hey you two..we loved the wedding. Don’t let any negative comments get to ya. Amber you and your mom are wild and I would love to hang out and meet yall sometime.. I know where your county is. Kyle would certainly get along with John! We wish yall the best of luck in pig hunting and a life full of love. (Teach that baby to mud bog the right way! Yall Rock!) May God bless your lives together! p.s loved the decorations and your moms rebel yell!!
Linda says:
Amber you and John take care of that Baby and live a happy life together. I can asure you not all of Echols nor Lowndes county was embarrassed by your wedding and the publicity it got. God knows Echols county need some kind of publicity other than what it gets due to drugs and crooked law enforcement. I really enjoyed your wedding and thought y’all looked wonderful. I have watched it twice now and would watch it again if givin the chance. Ignore these people that had nothing better to do but pass judgement on others. And to the person that posted about the children losing their lives, yes that was a sad situation but this was neither the time nor site to gripe about it on.
barry says:
heell yeah yall put on a shindig,that was the best damm trade a gal could have done,ant nuttin like girls barefoot in the mud hookin a chain ,redneckin 4LIFE!!!!!
Jody says:
I just want to say somethin to everyone… I am havin a REDNECK Weddin in March. Its gonna be camouflage an the whole 9, and there will be a blow out after the weddin.. But we are far from trash an we don’t act like trash!! THERE IS A BIG BIG DIFFERENCE!!!! All of you that thank a redneck weddin is trash, I would love for you to see mine, so you no the meanin of REDNECK not trash!!!!!
Jim says:
I loved this wedding and these are my kind of people. To all of you that have bad things to say… Turn the channel…
Jim
Jeffery says:
this wedding was awesome it was the the true southern way of life and to all who dont like it turn the channel or Allison you should get over it or move you A$$ up north
Jeffery says:
GO DAWGS
SOUTH GA GAL says:
Dear Jeffery, believe me this wedding was definitely not the true southern way of life. A true southerner has more class and grace than to run around bare footed in hog’s blood, chase greased pigs and allow their baby to be filthy on national TV with a snake in her face!! Where is child protective services when you need them!!
barry says:
REDNECKIN4LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MMMM…..ALLISON ,IF THE SOUTH WOULD’VE WON WE’D HAD IT MADE,VOTE HANK JR FOR PRESIDENT.and for all the “negative blogians” ,i pensonally challenge you to take a look in the mirror and ask yourself ,Who the hell am i to judge anyone,well really don’t care who you are….only god can judge me
Hoghunter says:
You guys are a hoot!! Heck with what people say! Live YOUR life the way YOU want to! Enjoyed the show.
PS:That was a good hog too!
Sharon says:
What Ma-in-law said was sure right about “the whole **** county turning out”; BUT it was mostly because there are really good people in Echols County that wanted to help out with this shindig. Some of their good was turned around on them with the way they were portrayed. The relatives/families spoken of (to the locals knowledge) are not even from Echols County but have migrated in (like half the county). The word got out that the TV crews requested getting everyone that anyone knew involved to make it look really big. I think they did a pretty good job at that!
Afterall, the one thing Tom Arnold said that was true is that the animals outnumber the people 10 to 1, at least. The entire county of 450 square miles only has 1 traffic signal, millions of pine trees, tons of carrots, and approx. 4500 residents. Just wish someone had told him how to pronounce the name of the town; “Stay-ten-ville” not “Staten”-like Staten Island. We are in the deep south and we like to say stuff s-l-o-w; so each word sinks in.
With all of that said……They had their redneck wedding, and isn’t that really all they wanted? They were going to have that with or without the TV cameras.
We need to be more concerned about the illegals getting our Social Security, than how much of what they considered fun was had by all involved.
Resident of Echols County and still proud of it!
Nicole says:
I thought the wedding was hilarious! I live in Georgia and while I probably won’t have a “redneck” wedding, I will acknowledge my country roots. No one should be ridiculed for the way they choose to spend their special day because it’s just that-THEIR day and no one elses. I applaud Amber and John for doing what they wanted to and not caring what other people think.
mutthater says:
Amber and John….Proud UGAy alumni! Long live Herschel!
Hooker Girl says:
Loved your Redneck Wedding! Proud of the georgia folks being on CMT. The one show of Gail and John Meyers were folks from my own home town area. Good luck with your marriage and life together!
The Glascock County Folks !
Cassie says:
Great wedding! I loved it and I love the show. :) Don’t listen to the jerks that say otherwise. :)
RNGirl says:
I love the wedding . I love the show.If you want a redneck wedding so be it .
I kown iam a redneck. iam going to have a redneck wedding .So i thing if you do not like it do not watch it .Do not judge there wedding . I wish you the best in life amber&john.
p.s I go bare foot all the time. I shot my first deer bare foot .
GG says:
You two did your thing, and that’s all that matters! I loved the show, and frankly, I was just happy to see some people from Georgia on there (finally!!)
Yeah, my wedding was a little different than yours (ok, it was a lot different) but it was still country, so I know the deal. No, we don’t all do it the same way, but you guys did it your way, and that’s cool with me! I like watching the show because I like seeing people have weddings their own way, not like these cookie cutter weddings you see on the other channels.
You two went mud bogging and greased pig chasing. My husband and I got married on a riverbank and went canoing afterwards. There are lots of different ways to be country. I’m not going to knock you two because your way is a little different from mine. Nobody else should knock you either. Good luck to you all!
ashnpat says:
Amber(duda)and John.. I love yall so much.And as yall know the Wedding was a blast.Dont be worried about the a**holes that r talking trash on here….They have no right to judge anybody as long as yall loved it that is all that matters and u know that everyone their had a great time… I am so happy for yall and glad to be apart of yalls BIG REDNECK WEDDING!!! Ohh and John the(duda)thing is for u!! Love yall!!!
Be Who You Are And Those Who Mind Dont Matter And Those Who Matter Dont Mind!!!
krazy_chick says:
I loved the redneck wedding, it was pretty cool. I wouldn’t let anyone upset me about my wedding, they don’t know hoe to throw a wedding, that’s why their mad. I’M NOT A REDNECK, BUT IF YOU EVER HEARD OF PEOPLE IN SOUTH LOUISIANA WERE COONASS ANS PROUD OF IT.
clinch gal says:
I hope that the whole country will over look this wedding and know that all southern rednecks are not like this. Most of us have class and taste. Having a redneck or country style wedding can be done with class and taste. This has embarrassed alot of georgia people.
Melody says:

Why cain’t u dum redneks lern ta spell????
Laura says:
I am so sorry that there are people in the world that can not let you have your day the way you want to. Redneck is a way of life and not a social class. I for one rode a Harley to the foot of a bridge as the Matron of honor in my sisters wedding. It was full of Rednecks and Bikers, the pond was full of floating candle’s and while the attendee’s sat in chairs or on their bikes around the edge of the pond. It was a wonderful although the best man dropped the wedding ring in the gravel next to the gazebo as my sister was working her way across the bridge it worked out fine. If ya’ll wanta go huntin or playin on the 4 wheelers in the mud come on down to liberty/long county’s where we will go to the rodeo of friday night and mud bog on saturday night….
Karla says:
wow, that was a great wedding. it looked super fun. my family lives over there in lake park. that swamp buggy you had looked a lot like the one my cousin mac has over there.
Cooter Brown says:
The makeup was great and the acting was outstanding. I hope you all was paid more than minimun wage for it all. Hope the network will cover the costs for it all. How can I get a copy of this funny, hilarious, knee slapping comedy routine, and if you say that this was a real wedding that took place I can’t believe it. I thought America was raised better than that now a days. If this was real how do I qualify to become a resident of statenville GA.
Lowndes Resident says:
I’m not going to lie, I was embarrassed for the entire state of Georgia, but after reading these rude ass comments, I want to take the opportunity to apologize. It’s nobody’s place to judge. Looks like you two are in love and that is what matters.
Good luck to both of you in the future!
maggiethecat says:
Amber and John, I want to wish both of you and your sweet little girl much happiness and good luck to you. I’m glad that you had the kind of wedding that you wanted and everone had a good time. It looked like a lot of fun.
God Bless all of you.
B says:
It was fun watching Momma and her rebel yell and all the other stuff but I have to know one thing: Who was the crazy dude that came rolling up on you guys with the red shirt? We had to rewind the dvr 5 times just to understand what he was saying. I almost shat myself laughing at him. He needs his own sitcom or something.
Lowndes Resident says:
That was momma’s brother from what I hear. Reminded me of the guy from the movie, Waterboy. Couldn’t understand a damn thing he was saying.
Wayne(Texas) says:
I live in Texas andI thought your idea for a wedding was the best! I wish yall the best!
Chelsey says:
I just want to let yall know we loved the weddin and thought it was great these are real people doing real stuff they enjoy its not trashy its theyre way of life its a lot of our ways of life how dare people like allison have the nerve to get on here talking all that mess where is this class that you speak of you are not showing any class is it in your pocket? Maybe you should pull it honey cause I am seeing a bunch of happy people being brought down by your low down no class having funky ass. ( i never claimed to be the classiest person) its people like yall that take the fun ot of being a redneck!!!!
Amber and John congradulations and from all of us here in centeral Texas we wish you a long happy blessed life together.—-Keep on muddin
Charles says:
I live in Echols County. I was born in Valdosta and lived there until a teen. I moved to Echols because I am half Staten.
Shawn, you are completely an idiot. To say that the Statens, Corbetts, etc. are inbred. What proof is there? I have seen none. I have looked back into my family tree.
Echols County for the most part is Great.
Amber and John, I must say are a total joke. True it is wrong to pass judgement but if it walks like a duck, then……
I personally do not know them or know anyone that does. I do wish that I would run into one of them so that I could express my deepest sympathy for their dumba–’s.
Main-ahhhh says:
OK… this whole redneck wedding thing is GREAT… n is loved as much in the north as in the south.. being redneck is not were u live according to the Mason Dixon Line its about whats inside. any one is redneck if they want! I am from Maine and I LOVE muddin, huntin, target practicin, and gettin a better education so I can have better toys to do this with. If ya’all don’t like this show then turn it off you’r bad words are not going to change my mind that people do these things on TV and its still the same.. there wedding would have been in the paper regardless of CMT (not as big of course but still there)They did not put on a “front” while they were on tv. im sure that they act this way in real life.. who cares how they take care of there child its there responsobilities. n i just want to say that when i was a little kid my parents didnt let me inside untill i was bleedin I love this show. PLEASE DONT EVER TAKE IT OFF.. i want to be on it some day n show ya’all that you aint got to be from the south to have a red neck wedding!
Love the one and true MAIN-AHHH
jimbob says:
its good fun evertbody dos not have $5o.ooo or more for a wedding real good pople not fakes
rebalmommy says:
Well hunny here soon I will be getting married and it will be a redneck wedding because that is how it is done here.plus,it is cheaper then having to get up 50,000 dollars to do the other kind.PLus we are nothen but a bunch of rednecks where I’m from.We also love the show!!!
North FL Gal says:
Thanks Charles for summing up how my family and I felt about this “wedding”; to say that most of Echols county is inbred just shows how ignorant Shawn really is because as a born and raised Echols Co gal, I can promise you my family is not inbred. Sure, it is not right to pass judgement on people you don’t know, however if I were going to be on national TV I think I would represent my community a little better and with more class and dignity.
sarah says:
I dont care what anyone says this by far was my favorite episode…..I absolutly loved mama and her holler……its a running joke now at home to holler like mama and say there better be hog meat……i love it….i wish them the best of luck and hope they have a wonderful redneck life together……i cant wait to start the plans for my own redneck wedding
Guitar_Hurricane says:
I’m from Valdosta and from what I’ve heard is that all the people on that show were actors, except for the old guy in the red shirt (he was actually from there). I don’t watch these redneck wedding shows (their just trash, people wanting attention). I just saw this one because it was done in statenville and I was curious to see how it was protrayed and it was just what I thought it was going to be.
Good actors though, in my opinion they got a little too trashy, but oh well, that’s tv for ya.
ace says:
I thought the wedding was off da chain, better than some uptight 1st class boring wedding. I would like to tell cmt to keep up the good work and just ignore all these stupid negative comments, some people just need to pack up and move north if they dont like it.
AmberANDERSON says:
ALL I HAVE TO SAY TO ALL OF YOU PEOPLE IS THAT IF YOU DID NOT LIKE MY WEDDING PLEASE DONT LEAVE RUDE ASS COMMENTS ALL OVER MY STUFF. IF YALL HAVE ANY PROBLEMS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AT ADORABLE_DUDA@YAHOO.COM AND I WILL TAKE CAE OF ANY PROBLEMS YOU MIGHT HAVE AND I WILL BE MORE THAN WILL TO MEET UP WITH YOU (I.E. CHARLES IS IS A HALF STATEN) THERE WAS NOTHING TRASHY ABOUT THE WEDDING THE WEDDING WE WENT HOG HUNTING MUD BOGGING AND EVERYTHING ELES THAT PEOPLE ALWAYS DO!! AT LEAST I AM A DOWN TO EARTH PERSON MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR SOME OF YOU RUDE ASS PEOPLE.SO AGAIN IF YOU THINK IT WAS A DISGRACE PLEASE EMAIL ME AND NO WE ARE NOT ACTORS!!!!
Kelly says:
I loved the wedding. I always said if I get married again it will be camoflauge an hunters orange. Ignore all these stupid people that are making these useless comments.
Kelly says:
Oh an by the way, I am looking for a redneck man, any single ones out there, email me kountrygirl1978kdm@yahoo.com

Amber & John…ignore the ignorant & jealouz people…it waz a wonderful wedding…the 2 of u r definately in love and have a beautiful lil girl who knowz she iz loved…here in North Idaho we love our huntin, fishin, boggin, campin & anything out doorz…2 bad ppl like the snoot who left such a disgraceful message haz over ran our small town (btw Allison ur lack of class showed when u open ur mouth 2 pass judgement on what waz not ur bizness). My suggestion iz like many postingz here: if u don’t like it then change the channel..thatz the most logical way. I hardly ever watch tv cuz it’z so trashy…but this wedding waz NOT trashy…there iz nuthin )wrong with goin out & huntin 4 ur meat (hog or deer)…the true people of the south know that u work 4 what u want & money iz a hard…I didn’t see anyone compaining that their hair waz not perfect or they didn’t like the color the bride chooze, I didn’t see any of the guyz complaining about having 2 monkey suitz they hate…i saw a wedding full of love & happiness & it made me happy…you will have life long happy memoriez of ur wedding that most people wish they would have…I wish you & ur family a lifetime of love, happiness & good health…Ya’all keep on boggin 2 cuz that happiness keepz u young God bless u!!!

Just curious, I heard there is good huntin’ over there in those parts.

tuna says:
hey i saw a what looked a mounted bass with horns or antlers as a deccoration at your wedding what was that? i have to know
dude says:
i love this show
City Girl says:
Hey Amber & John
By no way am I trying to insult you but before I saw this show I had no idea people like you still existed.
Question #1- do you guys have any kind of jobs that generate income? swapping a couch for metal parts for his truck as a wedding gift - dont understand that.
And maybe I am far removed from your world but why would you dirty yourself up to hunt hogs and sit there chopping them up vs. going to maybe a grocery store?
And why is everyone constantly dirty? I got a shot of your bathroom when you were cleaning the hog - it is such a sanitary hazard to have a bathtub surrounded with such mold everywhere. Please get your daughter into cleaner conditions. There’s nothing wrong with country living but at the same time you can keep going to school get an education and provide your family a better quality of life. No one deserves to live in house with such poor conditions in this day and age unless you’re living in a 3rd world country on a tribe or somewhere in the jungle.
Seriously do you guys have a job?
tuna says:
to city girl
See thats the difference between rude city people and country folk you start by saying i dont mean to insult you. Well if you dont want to keep your mouth shut then. Country folk play in the mud and the dirt we dont have to take a cab or the subway to go to the park, were surrounded by clean air and mother nature. The air you breathe is probably dirtier then any of our living conditions. We spend our money on property and toys not appartments and coffee shops. We have probably 100 times the guns by capita compared to you but yet suprisingly almost no murders maybe you guys should try hog hunting instead of shooting each other. And if i insulted your slick dressing, cappucino drinking, cab riding ass its cause i meant to!
elle says:
I don’t even like country music, but I loved this show! Amber made such a beautiful bride! Good luck to you all!
City girl says:
To Tuna
get a life:
there’s nothing wrong w/country living but rolling around in mud and dirt and having poor hygiene and everything looking dirty (per amber episode) thats just barbarian and the looks of amber she is clearly not spending any money on toys or property
you’re just jealous b/c you wished you could lead a more open minded cosmopolitan life meeting interesting people, knowing about geography and world events, trying different foods and cultures vs. living in your single minded bubble where the majority get pregnant at 14 have about 5 kids by the age of 25 and collect food stamps.
Yipee!!
City Girls Friend says:
This sounds disgusting. I have friends that live in the country and enjoy the clean air, but they also have clean hygene. I am surpised CMT even airs this because from the living conditions and this wedding, ya’ll seem to be the only ones who watch this Redneck stuff and it doesn’t sound like you can even afford a tv to watch this madness.
oh, and Tuna- Go to school. It is “we’re”, not “were” surrounded by clean…….
I have to run, off to Starbucks in my mercedes. I may even stop by Neimans.
tuna says:
well it looks like i offended the local cheerleaders union.the simple fact is these people put their life out there and you have nothing better to do then log on and make rude comments to them. and im sorry i dont use my spell check when typing on a blog im to busy trying to wiggle the antenas on my tv. i don’t want to get into comparing lives its the internet you can and will say as you please the simple undeniable fact is that your both still rude and not much will change that.
Chelsey says:
City Girl and Side kick : FYI
When you were a kid you probably got dirty !!!eek gasp!!! yeah thats right dirty !!!! look man you live your hoity toity city life style and die at 40 from a heart attach and let us redneck nasty disgusting revolting creatures live our simple easy going laid back lifes if you have a problem with the womans bath room than dont pee in it ! if you life is so glitzy why are you spending so much time on the internet cutting down some inocent person that you have absolutley no ties too? thats right you have nothing better to do . ( I admit I have nothing better to do i am at work) get off her kid and bye the way i saw her message maybe you should email amber and meet up I think she can take you!
City Girl says:
Chelsey
Please do everyone a favor and stop writing. Your grammar and misspelling of words is painful to read. Did you graduate from the local seven eleven? Oh wait - i bet you didn’t even finish 6th grade.
And yes I did get dirty playing as a kid but that was at the playground not sleeping, eating in filth.
Hey Chelsey - how many kids do you have? and do you live in a trailer? I’m just saying…….
Jenfan24 says:
People raised in the country don’t worry about getting dirty. I see the baby all the time and she doesn’t walk around dirty! Amber, John and their daughter don’t live in filth. For your information these are hard working people. There is nothing wrong with living off the land and providing for your family. That is the natural way of life. I buy my food at Publix but I’m not going to put someone else down who doesn’t. Why would you belittle people that you have never met? And no I don’t live in a trailer!
City girl says:
JenFan24
You say that you see them all the time and they don’t live in filth why is their bathroom in such disgusting moldy way and cleaning pigs in the bathtub is gross.
If they work why are they swapping couchs for their wedding gifts? I dont get it.
For the record the whole episode John is always looking dirty like they never wash .and what’s with the black teeth?
You can live off the land etc… but when you put yourself on national tv and you’re running around like you’re living in the 1800’s you gonna get comments about it.
Heather says:
You know what? Amber and John look like they are content with their lives and how they choose to live. And there is nothing wrong with how you choose to live your life if you’re not bothering anyone else! How they choose to have fun is also their business! Whether it be mud bogging, shooting shotguns or chasing greased pigs! They have the love of each other, their family and their friends and that’s all that matters in this world. It looks like worrying about what people think is the last thing on their minds and that’s the way it should be and I’ll bet they are much happier for it. Much happier than the people who choose to negatively judge their way of life upon seeing it on television. If they are living honestly and not hurting or bothering anyone else then power to them! For anyone to put them down for their appearance, their way of life, or their choices of entertainment is just small minded and arrogant. I’d much rather there be more Amber and Johns in this world than the people putting them down!
Good luck John and Amber! Keep living life the way YOU want to and WHO CARES what anyone else thinks!
PS. If you small minded people don’t like the show, here’s a brilliant idea! Shut up and change the channel!

that little country boy says:

hunter says:
hey yall all i got to say is i live in echols county lived here all my life been down to needmore more times than can count ive been drug up every creek bank from fargo to lakepark from nichols to live oak and all i got to say is dont pay any mind to them it was yalls special day yall had a fun time and thats all that maters but i did not attend your wedding so i guess every *************** redneck in echols county didnt show
other than that it was ok it looked really fun
Elisa says:
I can’t be the only person that noticed this….
Amber’s dress was WAY too small, and she put in home-made laced up closure into it. It looked terrible! Where did you get that dress, the Salvation Army? It was 10 years out of style when you got it, but at least you could have bought the right size! What is with you people?
My husband and I actually made a bet that the groom would/would not shave for the wedding. Looks like he did shave, but his mother forgot to. She also forgot to brush her teeth and wash the hog blood off her hands.
I too would like to know why you were trading a beat-up, broken down, stained up loveseat for a used truck part as a wedding gift. You couldn’t even be bothered to clean up that sh*thole that you call a home, and your kid is running around it that filth! You can be a country bumpkin all you like, but soap and water are among the cheapest things money can buy. It doesn’t cost you anything to keep your house clean- do us all a favor and stop breeding. None of us “city folk” deserve to pay for the result of you being too poor to afford a condom when you spread your legs.
Jennie says:
omg people, get a grip. This was their wedding, their life, and their choice. I was raised to believe that if you dont have anything nice to say then to say nothing. You believe that because you are over the internet that you can say whatever you want and it means nothing to the couple involved? Grow up and get a life, stop hen pecking your computer board.
love says:
well all i got to say is i didnt agree with the wedding or the way they live but im not sayin nothin be yall listen up the rest of us down here in the county dont act like that most of us are very clean and we all care about each other yes we may do stuff that yall think is stupid but for us its just a way of life now i didnt agree with the wedding but i aint gettin in no ones business
love says:
i agree with hunter
redneck girl says:
okay, if you dont like rednecks then why are you watching the show. that’s all it’s about! if you’re a yankee bitch, go to new york or something. we dont need you down here. so, we may look stupid, we have a funn time! we are not nasty! the baby was probably just gettin done playin. now, if you dont like how we live, play, talk, look, whatever, GO TO SOME YANKEE STATE WHERE YOU’LL FIT IN. we dont want none of yall down here. so stick that in your juice box and suck it!
Lynn says:
elisa, you don’t believe in God do you because what you posted says to me you have no soul, just remember God is watching you and the old say of “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it” your post was very rude and out of line. Tacky
Softball girl!! says:
Elisa, you know its like you kind of people who make this world a bad place,like other people said it was their wedding NOT YOURS!!……….

Josh Anderson says:
I hope everyone on this show realizes that CMT is making you all look like hillbilly, illiterate white trash. No wonder other countries make fun of the U.S.- it makes it seem as if you have no class, no manners and that you are making a mockery of such an important thing as wedding vows. I am all for having fun on your wedding day, but have some class while you are at it!!
Southern Girl says:
Congratulations Amber and John! I hope you have a very happy life together.
Weddings are all about celebrating your love for one another and the uniqueness that is in your relationship. I enjoyed getting to see your wedding. Thank you for sharing!
SMC says:
Hi, Amber and John:
I just watched the show, and am glad that you and your families enjoyed it! Disregard the negativity. If you two are happy, that’s all that matters.
By the way, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with living in “trailers.” It’s a home, people!!
One more thing, I have a brother who lives in Statenville, and my grandmother lived there until she passed…It’s quiet…and a nice place to live…and I am a city girl…live in DC.
Have a great life!
Tasha says:
I really loved your wedding. I liked the dresses you had on your bridemaides. I was wondering where you got them?
Dee says:
I am from Homerville, Ga. I loved the show love yall dont pay attention to the negative comments others leave. They just trying to start something. Don’t that sound like the peolpe of Clinch and Echols county to you? Lol I wish yall the best of luck it the future!!!!
danielle says:
mmmkkk…first of all there aint nothin wrong with trailers..second of all …that dude said “hilbilly” like its a bad thing. shoot, where did it ever show that none of em/us had manners? i got morals,manners, and respect sweetheart.im from out west and rednecks are everywere…not just the south. i still got respect for it though. you do your thang, ill do mine! p.s. there aint nothin more attractive to a girl like me than a good ol boy shootin a gun and boggin after a good rain..mmmm (= haha
Renee says:
Dang,I’ve never heard so much negativity before in my life.Ok people maybe their wedding was not to your standards but d— it’s entertainment and it is a time that they wanted to share with others.I love watching all of the weddings.My friends call me a dumba– because I’m black and I like watching CMT. Kiss my a– yall,this girl was born in the country and ain’t nobody gonna change what I like. Amber and John, I wish you two and that baby the best.I enjoyed watching your wedding,it was entertaining.
Kevin from Puyallup, WA says:
Amber and John,
I loved watching your wedding. John, you mom rocks!! DO NOT let what people say here get you down. This is still a free country and we can live the way we want no matter what anyone thinks or says. Good luck in your future!
Now as for you Allison, if watching a show like this embarrassed you then you have a serious problem with yourself. Who the hell are you to judge two people who love each other and want to share their wedding with the world? I think your white trash for judging them on their day.
amber- my big redneck wedding says:
ALSO I DO WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO GAVE US GOOD COMMENTS I WISH YALL THE BEST OF LUCK IN LIFE
Jack says:
I’m from Nashville, GA and I was embarrassed! It made a joke out of being from the south. Everyone is entitled to their own wedding, but this type of wedding should have not been put on national TV. Yes, it is a free country and feel free to do what you want but don’t make everyone living in south Georgia look like dirty, rotten teeth, redneck losers. Made Georgia look ridiculous.
Rick says:
I saw this episode earlier this year and the images haunted me for months…just last week I watched in disgust again the repeat performance of the show on CMT, and I could not pull muyself away from the television. Is this the goal of CMT to get viewers to glue themselves to the show, regardless of the content? If it is, then kudos to CMT’s marketing department. I watched it again because I still could not believe there are people in this world that act and live they way these two do; I feel really sorry for the baby girl who will be raised up in a dirty, low social economic class environment…unfortunately she may grow up to be just like her parents and grandmother…toothless and dirty. I sure hope not. Please clean yourselves up, at least for that little girl. She deserves so much better. And at least please fix your teeth! ! ! ! ! ! !
Anne says:
I have to agree with “Elisa”. Soap and water are cheap- USE THEM! There is no excuse to have your child running around in filth.
Why are “non rednecks” watching? It’s TV. It’s entertaining. The viewership of this show is not limited to self-proclaimed rednecks, hillbillies, etc. If you don’t want to open yourselves up to criticism, don’t put your life on TV. Easy enough, right?
For those that say we have “no right to judge” and that those of us that are not hillbillies should “go to New York”….well, I am proud to be a New Yorker. You know, when we are done with that new-fangled thing you call a “Indoor Waterfall” (we call it a shower), we are watching cable TV for entertaining shows depicting how the people on the other side of the tracks live. Thank you for giving the rest of the world a standard to rise above.
Larry says:
Rock on. You were able to do what you wanted and not what some souther babtist thought you should have done. They seem to foorget Gods Law. TO LOVE. They make up their on laws that realy upsets God. But they think they are god.
Keep ir between the ditches or putter in 4 wheel drive. Good luck and God Bless.
Sadie Mae says:
First of all, I would like to say that i love this show and congrats to everyone who got married on it and congrats to everyone else to is getting married redneck style. I am also gettin hitched redneck style. Second, to all of you who are hating on these couples and the show, you have no right to hate people just because their way of life arnt up to your “standards”. From experience I have found that down to earth people (like the ones on this show) are the most friendly, non-fake, and least most stuck up people around. And yes I know both types of ppl and have lived around both also. And fore those of you who dont like what i’m writing maybe you should have thought about what you wrote about rednecks when you decided to judge ppl on how they live. If you dont like the show then dont watch it. that simple, its called the channel button on a remote, the thing that comes with the tv. Its absoulty wrong for you to think of us as discusting, low-class, lower than dirt, etc. just because the little things make us happy rather than your facny foods, name brand clothes, shoes that cost more than a pure-breed show dog. The things I have read on here are VERY VERY upsetting and i’m very discusted by the rudness and hate people show towards others because of the way they wanted to get married. All of you who wrote rude things to this and other couples just made it clear that you are the ones who are lower than dirt it self. For all you rednecks out there keep living your life the way you are happy and dont feel bad for who you are because others see you as “wrong”, youre not, your the best way of life!!!
Sadie Mae says:
For those of you who are commenting on amber and johns daughter, well first of all shes a kid! Kids play outside and yes outside has mud, dirt, water, its called nature! and have any of you ever considered that dentist bills are outragous! Sorry for not having a big fancy job, we cant all be rich snobs and thank you for making a standard that we can go above and beyond your snobby rudeness piece of crap standard that we down to earth rednecks can soar above. All you rude people out there I cant believe god made ppl like you. You are truly more discusting than the looks of any redneck out there that you call discusting.
Sadie Mae says:
Also ya’ll would be the same as us if technolgy didnt make all ya’ll fancy overpriced toys. Trailers are houses,the only difference is they dont have a base. If you cant say something nice then get off and dont comment, the other countries think of us the way they do cuz of all you who say hatefull things to others, grow up and dont judge.
dixie girl from ga says:
I think that yalls wedding was wonderful, im from hawkisnville ga and i am getting married the fall of next year and my wedding is going to be redneck style. I am a redneck and proud of it, its the way us southerners was brought up. we love our trailers and mud boggin. i think the wedding was very cute and good luck to yall!!!
Deondra Crosby says:
They are so adorable and a beautiful couple.
Deondra Crosby says:
I think their wedding are nice and very rowdy.
Diana says:
I’m from Echols County and I have most of my family there. A friend just called me and asked if I heard about it here in Atlanta, Ga. I said hell naw !!! I started lmao !!! I’m in search of it on the net right now. I want to see it. I was looking and I came across this site but I want to see the wedding. It’s really good people in Statenville.
