It's just a little wind, golfing weather. Wimps.

She goes white bridal gown and he wears jeans?

Yeah, you're in Kansas, but you can still "be country" and wear a big belt buckle and cowboy hat with a suit too. he looks like a regular guest taking a photo with the bride...except for the whole kissing thing.

logieal: I bet that night was interesting. I wonder who hog tied who first?

Barrel racers aren't known for their ability to throw a rope or tie a piggin' string, but most of them can do it in a pinch.

Having known more than one cowgirl in my life, you can bet your bottom dollar that she stayed on for a full ride in both the first and second go 'rounds.

Meanwhile, in Texas...

He looks like an absolute git in that stupid hat and belt.

/IMHO

Remember the Chicago bride from last week whose wedding was "ruined" because people dared to protest the NATO summit?

Yeah, about that.

Eh, I think it's cool, them all wearing what they want. But you KNOW the bride was like "fark that redneck shiat, you're buying me a DRESS, Cowboy."

Also, if that kid doesn't look like he's one horse ride away from a Brokeback moment... I don't know who is....

Mentat: Oh please, that's barely a dust devil.

Seriously, that little rope was an EF3?

I had a pair of friends get married while an EF2 tore through a strip mall and a couple neighborhoods about 5 miles away. Me and Mr. C were driving by said strip mall and I looked out my window and saw the telltale swirly clouds right before it touched down. Had to take quite the detour around the debris path to get to the reception, and one set of friends were stuck in their house, close to the path, and missed the creemony, barely making it to the reception.

Meh. It's cultural. You wear a tie. He wears a turquoise shirt. Men in Kerala wear lungis.



Then there's this. Subcultures, man. Subcultures.

Ugh. I'm no fashion guru, but a groom wearing Stetson & big belt buckle to the wedding? That's just tacky. or trashy.

As a native Kansan, I can tell you that this time of year, if you wait until there ISN'T a tornado somewhere within 10 miles of you, your wedding will never happen.

That is the absolute epitome of "heartland Americana" right there. The tornado was just a bonus, and the photographer made pretty good use of it as a backdrop.

The bad news being that he only lasted seven seconds and then jumped off.

/I know, I know

I half expected the article to end with "And they purchased a marriage puppy (similar to a Love Fern) and named it Toto."

A bit torn on whether this is badass or poor judgment. At least subster didn't go with "It's like Tornadoes, on your wedding day" and the Ironic Tag.

Kansas thread!

It is not a position which allows him to jump off.

Eff the haters of the groom's denim and ginormous belt buckle as wedding attire - I think it's completely tacky as well, but you what? It's his choice. Who died and made you the fashion mavens?

/there will be ninjas and pirates at my wedding

They'll probably be separated in 6 moths. She'll shack up with an ex-con in trailer behind a giant honky-tonk. He'll take up with a wealthy wheat heiress from Wichita Proper. Eventually, he'll defeat the ex-con in a mechanical bull riding contest and these crazy kids will remember that they were meant to be together.

Fine, forgit it!

The guy monitoring the wind turbines must have been injured when the gauges exploded.

Thanks for reminding me of this song, friend. I like listening to this while reading "Wichita Vortex Sutra."

Im slightly disappointed I missed out on that wedding now. Only slightly though. Its a rather...odd situation, from what I know. Plus, I would have been laughing too hard to sit through the wedding. The jokes relating the natural disaster to their marriage would have been too obvious

Kansas is exactly like West Virginia, except it's mostly flat.

I bet I could ride her for the full eight seconds.

Two of my cousins had "tacky" country weddings, so I'm getting a kick.

...okay.

Why do yall call Billy the extreme ?

God was trying to tell that guy something and apparently he wasn't talking loud enough.

Chinchillazilla: KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - In the plains of central Kansas

...okay.

This reminded me of when foreign correspondents are doing stories about inaccessible war-torn disaster areas or places in the middle of nowhere and the dateline is from the nearest city. Maybe they got to Kansas City and couldn't find a native guide to take them into the unpaved beyond.

the wedding happened in Harper, KS...just linking to an AP story.
