These two women started pushing each other and before you knew it a fight broke out and the two families started fighting. It was a trip watching guys go at each other and even grandmothers where fighting with each other. We just stood on the stage pushing people away from our equipment. Finally the cops came and arrested several people but they snaged the guy who had our money. I thoought for a minute the cop was going to throw me in jail as I tried to talk to him about getting our money and finally he let the guy go so he could pay us. I talked to another cop and he said these families hate each other and he was surprised they made it through the wedding before trouble broke out. HE also said they had a freind at the wedding who was watching for trouble and they had extra cops on hand to respond.

Awesome. The one great things about rednecks is they let you know how they feel. There is no "hanging on in quiet desperation".
