re: Wife doesn't get it?

This happened to me for the LSU-Bama game in 08,though my wife was just standing in the wedding. I told her there was no way I was going to the wedding. I'm also good friends with the brides cousin-in-law (who I've been friends with forever and has tickets in the next section from me), so I made my wife a deal that if he doesn't have to go to the wedding I shouldn't have to either, fortunately he was able to get a pass from his wife as well. Though as a compromise we hauled arse back to New Orleans following the game and made most of the reception.

I skipped one of my best friends' wedding last year to go to the Bama game. She was extremely pissed, but she got over it. Go to the game!

Christmas is around the corner. I guarantee she'll be talking to you by Thanksgiving telling you what she wants. Go to the game...

Wait a minute. You failed to mention the wife is IN the wedding and matron of honor. I'm retracting my previous answer. If you go to the game under these circumstances, after she finally gets over the day, every year on that date, you will relive some hell. Trust me. Remember, I'm a woman even though my friends know better than to schedule non game events on game days if they want me present.
If it is not this date , then it would be some other date. If she is the kind to hold on to a stupid grudge on a date then it is going to happen regardless.
In any case - whenever folks come over to an online forum it is just out of frustration and not to get ideas. I am sure the guy is going to go to the wedding and then he will be back on Sunday to whine about it.

Stand your ground. If you give in now, you will forever. I'm in the same position with my fiancé. Haven't budged and not going to. She tried to make me feel bad in front of the bride and groom at their shower. Told the bride and groom they should know better for scheduling it and to expect less than 50% turnout from our friends.

Six months? Might be time to acknowledge your mistake and talk to a lawyer. If she can't understand LSU-Bama 2012, you need to think about married life between September-December for the next decade.

What kind on pudding groom to be lets his fiancée plan their wedding on that day....

Dude,
This is your wife walking in her best friend's wedding, which likely means her best friend was in your wedding as well.
This is just a football game. Seriously.
Not to mention the fact that this is now a football game that doesn't count anymore when LSU wins. So the joke will really be on you if you skip the wedding. A double whammy: 1)You will piss your wife off, and 2) you will be forced to watch LSU play Bama again in January if LSU wins.
Sell the tickets, make some $$$, go to the wedding. Hell, I sold my tix and I'm sitting at home bc my wife is leaving the next day to go out of town for a week on business.
Of course, I was smart when I made my "deal" with my wife, if you get my drift.

Should have married a tiger

I got a lot of experence in this field, married 41 years and 61 years old, this is what you do, if you have 2 tickets you go to the game, sell the ticket that she's not useing for a profit (nose bleed going for $325.00 on Stub Hub)and either buy her a nice surprise gift or give her the cash from the ticket. Something tells me she won't stay pissed very long.

Grow up.
Seriously... If you want a marriage that looks like the rest of the world's -- with lots of fighting and discord and ultimately divorce, go ahead and listen to the majority of fools in this thread.
When you took wedding vows - I am sure there was some sort of statement that equates to "For better or worse". This is your chance to be a man. To DO what you said you would do at your wedding alter... You are not giving your wife your balls if you go to wedding -- you ALREADY gave her your balls by saying "I do".
Marriage is not a competition - it is a team. Your wife is your own - your most important teammate. Think about how you feel when you think that Saban use to be a Tiger and now is the Bama coach. Now multiply that by 10,000 --- that is how your wife is going to feel if you abandon her for a one night game. There will be other games.
Marriage is about giving up your selfishness for the love of another. If you don't get that, then you had no business getting married in the first place --- and at that point you may as well go to the game, because most likely you will be divorced in a few years anyway....
Choose wisely.

Why is this just now being brought up by you? If your wife is in the wedding, then you have known about this for a loooong time. You should have said hell no a long time ago when the date was originally set. You've put yourself in a bad situation now. My money says your wife's friend was in your wedding, too, and that makes it even harder for you to bail out now. Someone is going to be pissed off because of this wedding, so it's up to you to figure out if it will be you or her. Good luck bro...glad it's not me. My wife wouldn't have put us in that situation in the first place. Unfortunately, I think you'll need to go to the wedding. A football game is for three hours....a wife is for life. Choose wisely.
Totally agree. Girlfriend? Easy choice. But once you married her, you agreed to a partnership. It's called marriage. It doesn't just count M-F. Guess what? It won't be the first time you have to give up a game for a family commitment.
And all these yahoos saying grow a pair or show her you're the man have no idea what marriage is all about. If it weren't important to her, she would have told her friend no, I won't be in your wedding.
Best thing would be to compromise and you leave after the ceremony and still go to the game, but that probably isn't an option. Too bad. Sell your tickets for big money and buy yourself something nice. You'll get to watch/listen to some of the game at the reception (going to the wedding, ignoring your wife the whole time and watching the game is not a smart option either), have a nice gift for yourself and keep your marriage happy.

You are asking the wrong crowd bud. Most the guys on this board would sell/trade their mom for LSU tickets. You can't deny their dedication can ya? It is just a game tho. I love LSU football as much as the next guy/gal, but I love my wife more. You can watch it on your iphone over 3g even. Don't put something as trivial as a football game ahead of someone that is supposed to mean everything to you. It is not worth it.
Than being said, if she puts things ahead of you by all means if you are due one, then go to the game. If she doesn't do this and you guys normally treat each other with respect, then do yourself a HUGE favor. Go to the wedding and show her that you respect her feelings and love her more than a game atleast. It will pay off in the future. Ask yourself this. Would you go to this game if your daughter was getting married on saturday? Of course you wouldn't.
