Mine was for the Tennessee game in 2011. Married before kickoff and reception at LSU faculty club. Open bar and free food for the guests and the game was on 2 big screens. Those that didn't come showed their arse. Those that did come and tried to use the excuse of "I need to get home to watch the game" when it was on right there with free beer and food really showed their arse.
If it was that important, I hear there is some magical wizardry called DVR that is rumored to be pretty bad arse. I hear you can skip commercials and everything.

How is a wedding with free booze and free food and the game on any different than having a bunch of friends over to your house to drink, eat, and watch the game on TV?

I'm in agreement with this statement, as someone who generally likes going to weddings (for the aforementioned free booze and friend-seeing), but with the caveat that if you do end up saddled with a fall wedding date you can't hold it against anyone who wants to actually go to the game. Women are chemically unable to understand this, but "your day" is not the center of the universe. I'd never have a fall wedding anyway (even the GF is in agreement with that) but if for some reason I did, I couldn't be angry with anyone who wants to use their tickets. It'd be my dumb fault for having it, can't punish the innocents.

By being butt hurt about people who didnt want to watch the game at your wedding.

Our wedding was at 7:00 pm on Saturday, September 17, 1983. Neither of us really seemed to care about the football games as the wedding event and being together that night. I had to check later about the football scores and was not really "up" about LSU football since the Tigers had lost the weekend before to FSU. Jerry Stovall was coach that year, and LSU football was not that big of a deal (LSU went 4 and 7 that year coming off an 8-3-1 season the year before). My wife was/is a Bama fan and Bama won 40-0 over Ole Miss. We have had 30 years since and a great marriage. My wife is "still the one" as in the song...

You can still go.

I rolled the dice for my wedding last September because the schedule was not released at the time we booked the venue. Ended up being the Georgia game. Everybody still came to the wedding. Granted we footed the bill for a 2 day blowout in NYC.

People go to road games.
We don't play on the east sites for 10+ years

The point of all this is you aren't going to please everyone with your selection of a wedding date. But for the overwhelming majority of people who are inviting their guests from a SEC state, scheduling a wedding on a Saturday afternoon or evening between the last week in August and the first week in December is just dumb.

By all means, if you have tickets to away games definitely go. I'm talking about the lame asses that don't go to away games, came to the wedding, and then said "Oh, I have to get home to catch the rest of the game" when it is on 2 tvs 50 feet away from where they were currently standing telling me they had to leave to watch the game. I'm also talking about those that used the game as an excuse and didn't come at all and didn't go to the game either because they wanted to watch the game.
To say you don't want to miss the game that's on tv when it is going to be on tv at the reception where you can watch it in a group setting and enjoy the party/tailgating atmosphere of a watch party....just man up and say you don't want to come. I'd have much more respect for that than to find a paper thin excuse like you can't miss the game.
Now, all bets are off if it is a stuffy wedding with no game on tv and you truly would miss the game...then go ahead and use it for an excuse. It's at that point where you are showing your level of friendship to the wedding party.
To your point about the trip frequency, I had one friend come to the wedding that did have tickets to the game and had planned to go before we set the date. He chose to cancel his plans and come to the wedding even though I urged him to go to the game because of the time between trips.

Girlfriend and I have a wedding (one of her best family friends) on the night of the Bama game. I politely told her that I am not going to the wedding.

After seeing a few of your posts in this thread it is obvious that you did those people a HUGE favor. You gave them an excuse to not have to come to your wedding. They probably wouldn't have come anyway and you made it easier for them since they didn't have to come up with the ole 'death in the family', 'car broke-down', 'kid(s) sick', or be honest and say 'I'm not coming because I don't even like you and your lame arse attitude'.
Saturdays during college football season are not about you. They are about LSU football and watching the game with people you want to be around or even watching alone if preferred. Nobody tells me who, where, or how I am going to LSU play.
