I got married during football season but I made the wife pick a bye weekend and it had to be a Friday night.
I got married on an LSU game day, but it was strategically scheduled for Central Michigan.

I was a-okay letting that game go.

People that do this are about as near sighted as they come.
“i d0nT c@rE aB0uT fO0TbAlL!!!”

Ok, congratulations?
But guess what…. Your guests do! And do you want them paying attention to you…. or staring at their phones all night. Because you can bet your arse that’s what is going to happen, no matter how much you don’t care about football. SMH

I have a celebration of life (funeral) in the afternoon for a dear family friend, then a gathering at a restaurant thereafter at 6:00. What is the protocol for this?

Bc not everyone’s life depends on 18-22 yo who makes more than us who mostly has no link to LSU other than they gave the biggest check

Seems pretty obvious not everyone lives football.

I had to attend a wedding during Bama in 2019.

But I was honored enough to be invited and I valued my friendship

Some women in an attempt to prove how important THEY are intentionally schedule their wedding in football season to screw with the men in their life. When my brother got married on a Saturday in September my dad told my sister in law that if she wanted him there the wedding had to be early afternoon. He left the reception to go to the LSU game

I've never had this problem because I don't associate myself with the types of people that get married during football games.

I was invited to a wedding of one of my wife's relatives last Saturday night in New Orleans. Oddly enough, the father of the bride is a huge LSU fan but his scorned ex-wife (mother of the bride) apparently intentionally scheduled the wedding to conflict with the LSU game out of spite for her ex-husband. Anyway, I politely reminded my wife that, as I have stated for years, out of principle, I was refusing to attend the wedding and I ended up attending the LSU/Tech game. My wife attended the wedding and reported when she got home that attendance at the wedding and reception was awful. Also, those who attended the wedding and reception were all laser focused on their phones watching the LSU/Tech game. It is absolutely ridiculous to put people in this position.

When I got married in 1989 we planned it for an open date. My MIL said someone would not be able to make it if that was the date. I probably got on bad side right away because I told her oh well. I guess they won’t be coming because that is the date that we were going to get married

Had a fraternity brother that set up his wedding for a Saturday night during season. Only 1 fraternity brother showed up. It was when Notre Dame came to LSU. His wife still has not forgiven any of us.

You failed. It’s simple guilt by association. You raised a son that is friends with someone who is marrying a girl that would schedule a wedding on ole Miss game weekend and that cuck just let it happen.

I know a guy who could fix it so that the wedding gets cancelled so you can watch the game.

It's an obvious power play by these brides to be.

There are 45+ weekends a year they can get married, but they insist on a football weekend.

These are obvious passive aggressive actions, and it doesn't bode well for these marriages.
