People not from Canada often typify Canadians as being one big homogenous group. Nothing could be further from the truth. One of the more entertaining things for me, having just moved from British Columbia to Alberta, is seeing the totally different kind of people that reside in this province as opposed to my old homeland. Sure, there are a lot of similarities, but it’s the differences that really stand out.
While reader CaffeineFuelled was on vacation, she somehow stumbled across a wedding that took Redneck Fabulous to a whole new level. Eschewing the traditional limo, the bride and groom chose the wonderful vehicles pictured below. As the story goes, CaffeineFuelled and friend were walking to their car, and were passed by the wedding procession. Complete with, as I understand it, the bride — in full wedding dress — hanging out the window cheering herself on. I imagine her doing so with beer and cigarette in hand. Puttin’ the “ass” in “classy”, right there.
But that’s not the end of it. Oh no. As it all happened too fast for photos to be taken, our intrepid tipster tracked them down and took photos of the bus, finding the bonus golf-cart in the process. Then, knowing I hadn’t had anywhere near enough recent practice of my FacePalm and HeadDesk skills, she texted each photo to me on my cell, with virtually no explanation.
Now that’s friendship, right there.

Yeah we got swimming pools in the yard.
My head is going to esplode from all the win in these pics- a John Deere lawnmower/Zamboni cleaning a homemade backyard hockey rink- complete with lines, logo, and boards. A lime-green 1970’s Chevy bus wedding limo with a cow-catcher bolted on the front. The only way to top that is to put a 5″ lift on the bus, 4×4 conversion, and also make the bus into a Zamboni- then get married on the bus and have the Stig drive while cleaning a homemade pro-sized rink during an NHL game in your backyard.
That’ll happen next hockey season. Baby steps, just a bit of progress at a time, come now.
I know. I’m usually very patient, just not when it comes to my imagination.
If only it were full sized… I guess you could just sharpen a plow attachment for the John Deere and just let some water out the back where you need it followed by a squeegee crew.
Ye Gods.
Note to self: School bus wedding limo has at least 3 emergency exits. Run!
Though if she agrees to a school bus for the wedding limo, she’s probably a keeper.
Best wishes to the happy(?) couple.
Wish I could knock down my neighbor’s fence and put in a couple curling sheets… That goes much better with my drinking than does hockey.
It doesn’t matter which, either way I’m going to end up on my ass.
I know, the fact that it was multi-lawn effort is impressive. Here in the US, fences make the best neighbors and all that.
Wait wait wait… You’re telling me that this is not a typical Canadian wedding?
And I thought I was a bit strange for (among other reasons) having a small railroad running around my house…
oh, no, that’s very cool!
I just wanna say to all the kids out there, this is how it’s done, eh.
I think that’s the nicest understated suit I have ever seen him wear.
Wow! Canada’s got their own Southern trailer park trash inhabitants, except they are cold enough to make hockey rinks feasible. Sounds like a “worst of both worlds” scenario to me…
I’ve seen more than a few lifted pickups around here proudly displaying the Confederate flag. I doubt we’ve got that many transplants, so I think they’re all missing the point.
For good neighborly relations, that hockey rink extends across two backyards. And I like the chicken wire catch fence – much cheaper to repair when you stuff the neighbor’s 9-year-old into it a couple times too many.
gee… was the “You can use these HTML tags link there before I posted that?
Looks fine to me. 😉
You couldn’t have put the missing second quote in the follow up self-abuse post while you were at it?
Now you’re just being picky.
The only way this could be better?
A mountain…
And a captain climbing it…
Click it… it’s mesmerizing… in a terribly terrible way.
I didn’t even make it a minute into that and it sent chills down my spine. The bad kind of chills.
I was gonna say something but I forgot all about that. Now I need to climb a mountain…
That was bad. Now I’ve got that song in my cerebral cortex. You Suck.
I wish to pour gasoline in my ears and light a match. Zank you.
Absolutely Shack-Tacular! Do they have those hearty-clicky things here? Nice!
Thanks for the new ringtone!
look at what the #1 related video is for that link…
Holy sweet baby Jesus that is possibly the most incredible thing I have seen today.
That will be a fun wife. She lets you get away with this crap at the wedding imagine the junk she will allow you to stuff in the garage. Plus, what cars she will let you buy and put in the garage.
And that’s why he’s getting married. That’s why I did.
I see your hockey rink and limo and raise you a hockey limo!
It’s from the same limo company that has this classy ride…that I tried to get Mrs. engineerd to agree to for our wedding.
HELL YEAH!!! GO WINGS!!!! Oh sorry, I had a hockey moment.
Lets not talk about the Wings right now. K?
Stupid Phoenix.
Try living in Dallas and getting excitied by that mess. If you can’t take home at least a division title with Brad Richards, Mike Modano, and Brenden Morrow, something’s wrong. I might be looking at you, Turco.
Hmm… It occurs to me with this thread that there may be more than a couple Detroit based Hoons here.
Are Any of you delusional enough to start ups a LeMons team. I understand there will be events in Michigan next year.
There is one in the works with a confirmed two
cheatersprofessional bribe artistspeople for the ‘detroit’ race. See facebook:hooniverse for details.Hey, this just reminded me of a great song I used to know:
“Sweet Home Alberta”
This is awesome. The last wedding I was at in Canada consisted of a 10 minute ceremony in the back yard followed by 20 cases of Labatt Bleu, a tornado and a moose head.
In that order?
Video or police reports to back that up?
There’s a local brewery that does weddings, and has a party bus, although it’s not quite so… lacking in class.
http://www.steamwhistle.ca/ourbeer/vehicles-bus.php
My fiancee hasn’t explicitly said no to getting married there, although it’s out of our price range, so she hasn’t had to yet.
That bus was done by someone with some really good fabrication skills and a decent sense of humor. The brush bar is positively beautiful, and the fake hood scoop (it’s solid on the front!) and side vents are really well made. If it wasn’t neon green, it would fit right in on the Outback.
Hell, compared to a Mississippi redneck wedding, this thing’s got class. I just can’t find any way to not like this with such a beautiful mini hockey rink. It could only be made better with seamless plexiglass.
Weddings huh?….yeah, weddings…sure.
Think I’ll head out to Alberta,
weather’s good there in the fall.
I’ve got some friends that I can go
to working for.
Wait. All Canadians are not the same??? You mean the tops of their heads don’t flop about when they speak???
