Women who get pissed about attendees sitting in the hotel bar watching an LSU game during a reception need to get a freakin life. Seriously. My bil (an LSU grad no less) got married on the weekend of the North Carolina game last year. It was a destination wedding at an extremely nice resort. This is place was OT ballin. During the reception, we were taking shifts as to who was going downstairs making score checks. Obviously, for most of the game, it wasn't a huge deal as we were up big. By the end of the game though, the whole party was in the bar watching the game. WTF do people EXPECT is giong to happen at their reception when LSU is playing?!

My best friend's brother got married in Malibu, CA (his brother lives out there) in the afternoon of the VaTech game.
He wantd me to text him updates as he stood there as a groomsmen. We both still had Motorola Razor's back then.
Dude was p!ssed off at me at first. He thought I was screwing with him when I kept texting:
7-0 LSU
14-0 LSU
17-0 LSU
24-0 LSU
Then they got out of the wedding, and he checked the score, and freaked...I still laugh about that. Must've been crazy seeing those updates coming across and literally thinking people were effing with you.

I knew I had picked the right woman when she pulled out the calendars and purposefully picked a date that fell between the SECCG and the beginning of bowl season.

I have a friend that scheduled her wedding in June. She said if she scheduled it during football season, she'd have to miss games for bridal showers. Best to avoid football season for a wedding all together.

As a LA padanh told me you need to schedule weddings and major work on your home in “t’aint” season. T’aint season means when you t’aint hunting, fishing or going to LSU games ;)
I missed many a wedding back in the day as it was scheduled during when you could fish, hunt, dive etc. My wife and other wives would go to the wedding and everyone would ask where were.

Scheduled mine on an open weekend and a Friday night. Sorry, if you schedule it during a game then you are not a real Tiger's fan.
Don't tell me your fiance/wife is more important. Like I said. YOU are not a real Tiger's fan.
Done.

I'm getting married on that Saturday as well. You're not on my guest list are you? Because I can just save the postage and not send the invite.
And before anyone starts throwing the lame-o comments out...it's open bar, away game, and there are 2 tv's scheduled to be playing the LSU game and/or the red sox playoff game if they make a push into the post season. 1/2 the family is coming from Boston and will need to watch the game just like LSU fans want to watch the football game.

I got married in March 2 years ago. When my wife picked the date, my response was thats March madness, not thinking we were gonna be there. Turns out we were all in the bar watching LSU play UNC in the second round.

No, No, No.....this is how I did it. 2006, got married on Oct. 28th (open date), honeymooned in Gatlinburg, TN., LSU played Tenn. in Knoxville on Nov. 4th, so from Gatlinburg to Knoxville for the game and then came home on the 6th.

I can see getting married on a day of an away game IF:
-schedule the wedding to start about 2 hours before kickoff.
-arrange for a big screen and several small screens in the reception area.
-have a good time with it.

It all depends on the team we are playing.
Good Team- No Wedding
Shitty Team- Wedding is fine

My wife: Its my first cousin I cant miss her wedding.
Me: Your cousin scheduled her wedding the day of the Bama game? Me not attending her wedding is her fault not mine.
Neither me nor my wife attended the wedding.

I skipped the North Texas game in '05 for my cousin's wedding. It was originally an open date, but Katrina messed that up. I would have felt bad skipping it since they asked me to be an usher, and we had all gone through so much BS because of the storm. Plus, it was North Texas. Not Bama, Auburn, UF, etc.
Also, I have an ex-roommate from LSU and another friend who are getting married on the day of the Tennessee game this fall. I remember the bride telling me she absolutely did not want to schedule the wedding "during a big LSU game," but she/they did anyway. I know weddings are hard to coordinate, but I don't get why a Louisianian would schedule it during an LSU game. I mean, you know a number of guests will either skip the wedding or be really REALLY distracted the whole time.

I was scheduled to play violin in a wedding in Mobile where the church's minister of music, an LSU grad, was also singing. During the ceremony, he turned to me and whispered the LSU baseball score. His wife was in the audience listening on the radio and giving him hand signals.
As for my wedding, I married a Bama fan in 1983 when LSU was in the Stovall years. LSU defeated Rice 24-10, but they went 4 and 7 that year. Funny thing, that same minister of music sang in my wedding that night. The wedding was over before the first quarter ended, so all got to leave to catch most of the game.
