You seem to be taking this personal. You could have just said that you enjoy attending weddings and don't mind missing LSU football games to do so. So someone could say to you that they don't give a shite what you think. Go to a wedding, miss the LSU game and STFU.
If you are a LSU fan I just hope you don't miss a game that people will be talking about for years to come. The one that they will start threads about asking if you remember where you were when LF rushed for ??? yards and scored ??? touchdowns in the most pivotable game on the way to LSU's NC season. If so, you can proudly answer that you missed it live because you wanted to attend a wedding instead of witnessing a piece of history in the making.

Well when people start calling me a dumbass and other fun names for my opinion, I'll throw some attitude right back in their face.

Seriously? Some of yalls priorities are so far out of whack. Feel free to do whatever you want, but you should probably not say stuff like this if you don't want to be laughed at.

Sounds like someone is trying to justify his own actions and is pretty sore about it.
The bottom line is schedule at your own risk. If you schedule during a football game, those that care about you will come, but it doesn't mean they will be happy about it.
I just got married in May by the way, in nola, and started planning 10 months out. I understand that there are limitations if when you schedule, but you are right, the day is about you; why would you want people wishing they were somewhere else on your wedding day? I started thinking about about that before I even got engaged, for my wife's sake, as I knew it would be around a year engagement, so I avoided the situation by planning ahead.

I got married in the fall. My wedding was awesome. No one complained.
Probably because my friends/family do not suck.

Not really. My actions don't need justifications, just like no one in this thread has had a gun to their head to attend a wedding during a football game.

YEa, that's just not true at all. If someone cares about you, they will realize your wedding is much more meaningful than a football game. quote:

I honestly couldn't care less about where other people wished they had been instead of my wedding. No once forced any of them to be there. Like you said, the day wasn't about them.

I'm sure some people at your wedding cared about college baseball that day, why didn't you schedule around that? How rude.

Watching 18-22 year olds play football is the most important thing in life!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See this is the wrong attitude. Don't put it on your guests, they will come celebrate regardless. But it is your decision to make it in the fall, possibly during an event you know they will be interested in, you have to know going into it and accept that people you invite might be conflicted and have no I'll feelings toward them.

It is a humor piece. Nothing to take too seriously.

It is, between September and February.
This is a headline from the Washington Post:
"Divorce is actually on the rise, and it’s the baby boomers’ fault"
Half of all marriages end in divorce and that rate is going up. So over half of the inconsiderate people who get married during football season won't be married in a few years anyway. I'm not going to risk it.

look i do get you guys point of view
you know that your close friends and family will be there, so if you're gonna have a small ceremony (close friends and fam) with like around 50 people then go ahead and put it on a game night
but if you want 100+ people to show up, its silly to make them choose between football and wedding, IMO, once you get past really close friends and fam, those people aren't gonna feel as tightly bound to you and won't feel as bad for missing the wedding....i guess everything is relative in life

Correct. It was our decision to have our wedding in the fall for several reasons.
And if someone chose to go to a football game or hunting rather than come to my wedding, I really would not have cared.
All the people that I really cared about showed up and no one complained. I, like all of my friends, place more value on celebrating life events with the people we care about than sporting events.

How many times does it need to be said that no one is forcing you to go? What about that is not sinking in?
If you choose to not go, great. If you choose to go, great too. But all of this complaining needs to just stop. It doesn't affect you at all. Make a choice, and move on. Expecting someone to schedule one of the most important days in their lives around you is ridiculous. Whining about it here is almost as ridiculous.
Be an adult, make a decision, then move on.

So for my guest list of 300+, I should have made sure the date we settled upon didn't conflict with anything any of them were interested in? Because that's the argument you're presenting.

it is amazing to me how people get so angry about going to a party with friends and family and get free food and alcohol

You clearly do care, you are the most frequent poster in this thread, and you allude to it right below that you don't think a football game is important, so you are obviously trying to convince people.

No I'm not. I'm trying to convince people to shut the hell up with their complaining. Either go, or don't go. But spare us the whining. Been pretty consistent with it since the beginning. Thanks for the dynamite analysis though.

No it is not dumbass. I'm simply stating that if you put it during football season, there will likely be a conflict, so don't harbor any I'll feelings toward people when you ARE making them choose you or the game. Just be happy you are getting married and move on. I mean shite if everyone thought like you and put their wedding in the fall, then you would miss every game because you prioritize other people over football?
There is a reason the late spring and summer is considered wedding season. There are the least conflicts. Moron.
