Like cutting room floor footage from a Werner Herzog film, there was a wedding in the Dacula, Georgia Waffle House parking lot. While we realize we never got around to reporting on this a few weeks back, we now have a valid reason for bringing it up again:
Photographic evidence...
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.
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.
That's true love, folks-- you don't care where you get married, so long as it's ASAP.
God bless ya Pamela and, uh, Bubba.
