maintaining awesomeness
one day at a time

Sometimes we feel a little jaded, like we’ve seen and made fun of just about everything there is to see and make fun of. Then a couple in Georgia gets married in a Waffle House parking lot and we feel much better. From the Gwinnett Daily Post:

“The lucky couple, George ‘Bubba’ Mathis and Pamela Christian - both 23 and employees at the Dacula diner located at the Ga. Highway 316/U.S. Highway 29 interchange - wouldn’t have it any other way.

‘I don’t know, it’s something different,’ Mathis said while fixing his tie prior to the ceremony.

For years, the couple tried to marry on their Independence Day anniversary. But the bride was always scheduled to work. Instead of waiting any longer - she got the day off at the last minute; Mathis had to report for the morning shift - the couple of nine years decided to seal the deal at work.

The result was what a NASCAR tailgate might be like if Hank Jr. himself stopped by with all his rowdy friends: Loud and proud - country music, storytelling and plenty of Dale Earnhardt paraphernalia - and not an iota of pretentiousness.”

As entertaining as that read is, we can’t strongly suggest enough that you take the time to check out the slideshow at the bottom of the actual article. Seriously, check it out.

We do have a couple of questions. Like, was Hank Jr. there or not? And why don’t they just build Waffle Houses in NASCAR parking lots? And are we to understand this couple has gone almost a decade without missing a shift? And what makes hashbrowns scattered? Onions? Tomatoes?

[Big ups to Steve Irony for the find, although we’re not sure if a story qualifies as “a find” if you were invited.]
