I had a friend that went through something similar to this during the weekend of the Auburn game.
A good friend of his (a girl he used to work with) was warned by him a few years ago NOT to get married on the weekend of an LSU game.
Not only did she blow off his request she expected him to come not only to the wedding that night but also the reception.
When he then explained to her a few days before the wedding he was having trouble getting a babysitter for his daughter he asked if he could bring his daughter to the wedding. His friend said 'no.' Only family members could bring children to the wedding.
The wedding was at 6pm and the reception didn't start till 7pm away from the church. He made the wedding and went to the reception long enough for her (the bride) to see him and then he left.
She's pissed he didn't stay and talk to her at the reception.
I told him that if this was a friend of mine I'd spit in her face and tell her to kiss my arse and hope she gets a divorce and never call me again!!!

That's a sad and pathetic thing to say...
However I agree 100%.

the girl is from far away. this is not the championship game. man up and go to the wedding, forget about the game. fan is taken from the word fanatic. in Italian their word is taken from a word that means infected. it is fun to be fanatical about something that is ultimately not that important=sports.
take care of business.

That sounds like something Hitler might say.

Are you talking about your coach?

The wedding is an hour away and at 5 so I might be able to cut out of the reception a little early and hit up a bar in town.
You have two hours to attend the ceremony, make an appearance at the reception, discretely voice your displeasure (i.e. let these people know that non-football season weddings are better attended and enjoyed) and rush to a bar with your girl to catch the approx. 7:10 CDT (guessing) kickoff. That's compromise. Consider it a wedding date choosing lesson for your potential fiance to be.
Also, if the wedding is 5PM EDT (Virginia), then you have almost 3 hours of wedding time before the 8:10 EDT kickoff.

Football is just a game. It is one of my favorite hobbies and something I love to do. But family comes first. I know you are not married yet, but it seems to be heading that direction. FOr those of you who would not even attend a family members wedding bc they had to miss the LSU game, that is obsurd. I would hate to have to do it, but there are things in life that you have to do, even if it is not what you want to. I really hate it for those you that have children that they will not miss an LSU game for one of their functions. And for those of you that do not have kids yet, think about it, do you really think that you will be able to see every LSU game that comes on TV for the rest of your life?

I think of it in a different way. I keep very close relationships with my family. Due to this, they know me very well. Since I do care a great deal and am active in their lives'... they know not to schedule anything the Saturday of a Bama game. They wouldn't know that if I wasn't so close to them.

I could not love a human baby as much as I love LSU football.

I haven't missed a home game since the start of the 1994 season. And I promise there a people on here who haven't missed any games, home, away, or bowl, in that same time frame. I am sure at some point something significant enough will come up and I will have to miss a home game. But it's not going to be my girlfriend's friend's wedding or my cousin's birthday party.

Perfectly stated. People hear us say things like we would miss all these family events and think we are inconsiderate pricks. The truth is we are only talking about 14 or so days out of the year. I am very close to my family and spend tons of time with all of them. The truth is they wouldn't even ask me to miss a game because they know how much I love it.

Just to expand on this just a bit, short story...I have a DJ business, had a woman ask me to DJ a party for her on Oct 11. She asked me about 4 months ago. I wasn't even thinking when I said yes!! For about the past month, I have been trippin' out, knowing I wasn't going to be able to watch the game. So pissed!! Would have never said yes, had I known. She calls 4 days ago and cancels!!! VICTORY! I would have made $250 that night, I could care less.

I understand the point about your girlfriends friends wedding. But he has given his word and is standing by it, even though it is not what he wants to do. I think that makes him more of a man then standing her up after he has committed to something. No reason to question his manhood when he is doing what a man should do.
What gets me is those on here that think their family and even close friends should take the backseat to an LSU football game.

So your son or daughter never plans a sporting event or recital on the day or same time as an LSU game? How considerate of them.

Roscoe,
It's an easy fix ya just have to use common sense. My wife and I call it the BBJP (Basic BJ Principle). Simplified rules are that if I have to attend an event that happens to be during an LSU football game and makes me not be able to watch said game live then she has to give me a number of BJ's equivilent to the cumulative score of LSU and their opponent. You can say that I've never missed an LSU game, LOL.

Well obviously he screwed himself. However you're not going to be able to post this on a sports forum and not get people laughing at you.
