Country music cable channel CMT is getting hitched to "My Big Redneck Wedding."

The reality series, to be hosted by thrice-married actor Tom Arnold, will premiere at 9:30 p.m. on January 11. The network ordered eight episodes.

Each episode will feature a different wedding, following the "most down-home country couples" as they take their trip down the aisle. The series will spotlight each wedding's "rustic eccentricities," whether it is a four-legged best man, a romantic beer-can canopy, a celebratory shotgun salute or a reception filled with mattress surfing and mud wrestling.

Apparently the Swedes have a much more relaxed attitude about opening times than here in the US, but that didn't stop a bride from picking up her bouquet!

Bride Camilla Holmström had ordered her bouquet from a florist based in a mall in Umeå and agreed to pick it up on the morning of her wedding. Staff at the florist's had promised to open at 10am, but when Holmström's friend arrived at 10:30am the shop was still closed. The bouquet was visible on a shelf inside, according to Västerbottens Kuriren newspaper.

By 10:45 there was still no sign of the florist. After trying to contact someone to open the shop, Holmström's friend told the bride what had happened. By now very stressed, Holmström went up and shook the grille over the florist's door, shouting: "Where are my flowers?".

At this point, the bride-to-be noticed that that there was a 15-20cm gap under the grille. She squeezed under and made it inside to grab the bouquet. She then crept out the same way.

Artist Heidi Kumao took wedding cakes to a new level at her wedding.  The Wed-o-matic featured rotating cakes, topped by figurines resembling the bride and groom.  Each figurine was wired to a 12,000 transformer.  When plugged in, sparks jumped between the two figurines.  There's a video of it in action, as well as an article on how they put it together, at http://heidikumao.net/wed.html.
