WE BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LOVE. EVEN WHEN IT WEARS A MULLET.
As an editorial position of EDSBS, we’d like to state for the record that we believe in love, and not just for people we’d like to see naked. No, we believe in love for all, even for the ugly, homely, undereducated, diseased, unkempt, addicated, violent, and antisocial. We even believe in love for the fans of the University of Tennessee, though we certainly don’t care to imagine them consummating their bond on a heavily (very) reinforced matress. (Hello, frightening scene from Sideways 2: The Mechanic’s Revenge.)
You cynics look away, because you’re about to see true love if you click through to see the tale of two Alabama fans who found happiness via the internet. (One of many fine prescription drugs available via the internet at sketchyjuarezpharmacy.com. Gracias for el effexor, amigos! To view the video, click on “related videos.”)
You may point and laugh, but dammit, there’s something going right in a society where two people may find each other online, meet, and still get married in an empty stadium after seeing each other’s…”ironic” hairstyles.
The part that should hurt Crimson Tide fans: the couple, shortly after getting married, drove to the nearby Holiday Inn Express, where they scored two more times than the Crimson Tide did against Tennessee on Saturday. The part that really hurts: half the married people reading this had Corinthians in their wedding, too. Don’t lie–we did.

Why Mike Judge understands the soul of this nation more than you ever will.

I think 1st Corinthians was also the passage they bet on being used in “Wedding Crashers.”

I don’t know if you all could tell, but he is definitely wearing Alabama sweatpants. Classic. Dammit dammit dammit.

Over/under on days until the cops are called to their house/hovel/rotting doublewide?

I was a groomsman on Saturday (she planned it on the bye week = keeper) and almost fell over laughing when they started reading from 1st Corinthians and my buddy in the pew behind us starts his victory point at the ceiling…good stuff.

It certainly gives a new meaning to “shoot the gap”.

I believe these folks are referred to as “dirt road alumni” in some quarters.

I sat on my couch watching CNN and out of no where this story is told. My first thought was, “I hope I don’t have to read about this on EDSBS”. You can’t believe my relief to look this morning and find not a word about the unfortunate incident. And now that I feel confident about turning my back and walking away from this subject you put the dagger in my back.

This was at Legion Field?!?! That just made it 10 times funnier.

I want to mock this. I really do. Because like most WV-ians, I like making fun of the deep south. It makes me feel all sorts of warm and fuzzy (and by “warm and fuzzy”, I mean “good about where I come from”). But as soon as I say something snide I’ll get hit with comments about glass houses and pots calling kettles black. And while I’m quite pretty, wear very cute shoes, and am not imbred, I can’t speak for all of “my people” in the “mountains”…

You know Orson, there’s nothing like a reference to The Darkness to brighten a (PSU) girl’s day.

It’s the “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud†passage.
Ah. Rings a bell from friend’s weddings, now that you mention it. That demonstrates why I am not the go-to guy for sacred texts at Casa DC Trojan.

Note the cermeony was held at Legion Field, not even at Bryant Denny. Legion Field makes the Orange Bowl (”You don’t come in to the OB playing that stuff” L. Thomas) look downright shiny!

I didn’t realize that the wedding was “hetero” until I read the article and found out that those were NOT two really, umm….lovely ladies. [joke] It sure is a good thing people like that are limited to Alabama….and not here in Tennessee. [/joke]

It’s the “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud” passage.
Very, very, very overused in weddings, but since we were only 13 years old at the time it seemed perfect.

Corinthians? Is that a southern thing?

It could also refer to the number of inches in the bride’s gap.

“Got Twelve” actually refers to the total number of teeth between the two of them.

im high, sitting in my property class, and just looked at this…. then laughed out loud. the professor looked over, but i stared on with confidence

Does “Got Twelve” refer to Bama’s offensive output?

Orson, I don’t think they stayed at the Holiday Inn Express. If they did, they would’ve coached Bama to Victory over the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man and his Pumpkinated legions.
I’m thinking Motel 6 - where they leave the lights on for ya (cause you gotta dig that shag carpet, man.)

Tater Salad, you didn’t think I’d let a gem like that slip, did you?
I particularly like the UAB Blazers logo. Nice touch…

Dammit. I was really hoping you guys wouldn’t find this one. Damn that Fox 6.
As one friend commented to me, “Ceremony in the front, reception in the back.” Sad thing is, I think it applies to bride and groom alike. Got 12?

Wow. There’s ugly and then there is those two people.
May God have mercy on their (and our) souls.
