Amyie and George were married on CMT's show My Big Redneck Wedding. They share the story of their big day.

Our families met about 15 years ago and they have pretty much been one big family since. In January of 2008, we started seeing each other and have been inseparable every since. Both of us have always lived for our children and from the moment we moved in together everything just seemed to fit. George proposed on Valentine's Day and wanted to get married during his family reunion in May because his entire family has never been together for any of his past marriages.

As we were talking about how we wanted to get married, our four kids wanted to help us plan our wedding -- so we let them. After watching the first season, we called the show and were amazed when we were accepted. I wouldn't change any of it, it was a blast. Honestly, how many people can say they got married on national television with a slip and slide, Jell-O wresting, a hot dog eating contest, and go cart racing.

Most people are extremely nervous when they are getting married, but we are just an ordinary easy going family who just likes to have fun. Life is too short to not appreciate what you have been given and without the bad things, you wouldn't appreciate the good. There were some stressful moments but the crew that was there was very willing to give us some "venting room." We could not have planned a better wedding that reflected ourselves and our everyday life better than it did. This was an experience of a lifetime, with enough memories to last several lifetimes. We wouldn't change this experience for anything in the world. After everything was over, and the cameras were gone, it still seemed unreal -- like a dream. We would highly recommend that anyone that doesn't want an everyday traditional wedding, to call Pink Sneakers, you won't be sorry. It was so much fun!!!!!!!
