00:00 "They were from different places."
00:02 Newlyweds Kyle and Geneva Pack have no problem admitting it.
00:06 They're rednecks.
00:07 "We're proud to be southern, you know, it's nothing to be ashamed of."
00:10 So naturally, the southern couple from Copper Hill fit right in when they starred in an
00:14 episode of CMT's My Big Redneck Wedding.
00:18 The show chronicled the days leading up to their marriage.
00:21 "We were nervous about it.
00:22 Whenever they threw the cameras and stuff in, that's when you get where you're like,
00:26 'Oh God.'"
00:27 The first camera crews followed the teenagers around as they prepared for the big day.
00:31 The chance to capture that experience on national TV was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
00:35 But the Packs admit they had another motivation.
00:38 "To tell you the truth, it was for the money.
00:40 That's straight up."
00:41 They earned $2,500 for the show.
00:44 Not a bad wedding gift.
00:45 In fact, Kyle was able to purchase his bride a brand new pink wedding shotgun.
00:50 "I want to let everybody know that I've shot way bigger guns than that little pink gun."
00:56 The most memorable part of the show may come from Kyle.
01:00 "I have laughed like it my entire life.
01:09 People get a kick out of hearing me laugh."
01:11 CMT's redneck portrayal was not as insulting as it could have been, they say.
01:15 And after their 15 minutes of fame, the couple is looking forward to the simple life.
01:19 "The marriage has been going great, I think.
01:22 What about you?"
01:23 "Yeah, it's been going really good."
01:25 Kyle and Geneva are now enjoying their big redneck marriage out of the spotlight.
01:31 From Copper Hill, Jason Law, WDEF News 12.
01:34 "I'm so happy for you.
01:35 I'm so happy for you."
01:36 "Thank you."
