Parents need to know that although this reality series about couples who plan eccentric country weddings is meant to be in good fun, some of the behavior plays into existing negative stereotypes about Southern living, and some of the featured folks come off as crass and uneducated. There's also drinking, smoking, gun use (mostly for hunting and target practice), and some strong language ("bitchy, "ass").
Positive messages:The couples clearly love each other and have fun at their weddings, but the series plays into existing stereotypes about Southern culture, and the people featured on the show often come across as uneducated and crass.
Violence:Rifles are used for hunting, target practice and shotgun salutes. One episode shows a chicken being butchered.
Sex:Some sexual innuendo, including references to bondage. One groom-to-be shops for "scanty panties" for his bride. One man is shown mooning the camera, and a bride-to-be takes nude pics for her groom (no nudity is actually shown).
Language:Audible language includes "damn," "ass," and "bitchy" stronger words -- like "f--k" and "s--t" -- are bleeped.
Consumerism:Visible product labels include Coors Light, Bud Light, Jack Daniels, Wrangler, Lays Potato Chips, John Deere, and Frederick's of Hollywood.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:Visible smoking includes cigarettes, cigars, and tobacco pipes. Plenty of beer and whisky consumption, too.
