re: Wedding Falls On Same Date As LSU-Bama Game

I remember a friend getting married on the LSU/Tenn game back in 2000/2001, when Tenn was relevant. They had a side bar outside of the reception area, and everybody was going back and forth, to a fro, from the reception area to the bar.
Didn't read the whole article, but what time is this wedding anyway? Laffy to B.R., an hour, get married and go to the game, winner, winner, chicken wings at the reception.
I had more people not attend my wedding because of hunts scheduled than anything else. Their wives attended, so thats all that matters.

I hate the "Its just a football game" excuse for fall weddings. It's not just about it being a game. Its about 2 people having a narcissistic ceremony that is all about them and it takes up a whole Saturday night. knowing full well that people in the south like to hunt and watch football during this four month span, and you are robbing them of that.

My wife and I had a destination wedding. First marriage for both. I loved her more for agreeing to do so.

there is always something going on on any given weekend.....

you are gonna miss the game? record it.

if you "HAVE TO SEE THIS GAME?!!!!?!?" skip the wedding.

it is just a football game. loyalty to friends and family should come before that.

Then don't have your freaking wedding during the fall. Anyone who does this is a selfish piece of shite.

Again, I have no problem with people having weddings in the fall. Its your wedding, have it when you want it. Just dont get mad at people for not showing up.

Her wedding will be important TO HER, but I assure you it's far less important to most everyone else in attendance. To everyone else, it's just a party. Brides don;t seem to comprehend that. Once you get married and you realize it was just a day, it looks far less important.

BEING married is, getting married is not.

The irony is that she seems to think guests are being selfish picking the game over her party, and yet she selfishly put everyone in the position ot have to choose by placing her wedding at a time of year where choices like that have to be made.

Totally agree.

One thing I love about my wife is that her mentality about our wedding was pretty "eh, I want a nice wedding, but I really just want to get it over with." People nowadays are waaaay too caught up in having this day that is solely devoted to them -- it seems like weddings have become huge "look at me" showcases for the bride and groom as opposed to being a celebration of two people who love each other getting married.

Me, too. I started trying to plan something and then realized how stressed I was even thinking about it. I don't want to be stressed about it. We want to get married. But I can totally live without getting weddinged.

I just think it's inconsiderate scheduling your wedding on a day when you know a lot of your friends already have plans. she shouldn't expect people to cancel plans to go to her wedding. she has no reason to be mad.

Well that's an entirely different topic IMO
