Fall/Football Season Wedding Attendance Loophole?
Posted on 9/15/19 at 3:57 pm

We all know that people who schedule their wedding on football weekends in the South are a special kind of a-hole. But, it happens & we deal.
That said, I need to know how far the following loophole extends:
When YOU have a son that plays football or a daughter that's a cheerleader/dancer/band in the HS or college (even pro) level: certainly it's understandable that immediate family misses any wedding scheduled in favor of the game, can we agree so far?
How far do you count immediate family to be in the excuse window of missing, before someone is reasonable to be pissed for missing said wedding?
Grand parents?
Aunt/Uncle/1st Cousin?
Godchild?
Any further?

You have likely been to a hundred games, can’t miss one?

Don't give a frick if someone is pissed you missed their wedding and you don't need this lame excuse.

Just bring a tv and antenna to the wedding and set it up near the bar at the reception

Not missing my kids games for a wedding. My kids will only be young once

So you would miss your son or daughter's own wedding because your other son/daughter is part of a sporting event?
Sounds like you are the special kind of a-hole.

No, he's saying he and/or immediate family would miss someone else's wedding for his kids game.

You need to decide what your priorities are and stick to them.

I'm not sure of what he's asking -- I'm so confused but I'm so tired so maybe it's that.

OOC rent-a-win? I'll absolutely ditch that for a wedding (so long as it's a fun one, and not a lame dry wedding).
Conference game against a bottom-tier opponent (Tennessee, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt)? It would have to be a close relative whom I like and whom promises a very fun wedding. I will also skip one of these if I am in the wedding.
Big time home game? (Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, A&M) F&%k you. That wedding venue was available for a reason. You knew what you were doing when you picked that date you selfish prick. We get maybe two good home games per year and you want to take one away for your "big day"? F&%k you, you self-centered cocksucker, enjoy enjoy the gift I mail you off your registry. I hope you open it before she divorces you inside of two years.

If I'm not your parent please don't invite me to your wedding.

This conversation usually revolves around LSU games, but high school games are a big issue as well. So many people have children that play, cheer, dance, band, etc.
Just because football is not a big deal to the bride/groom, they should consider how it affects their families and guests.
If someone has a fall wedding, I just assume they don’t want me there.
Their choice ...... and mine.

football might be an idol if you get pissed about people's weddings during the Fall. Not really a might though.

Aren't high school games on Friday nights?
And weddings usually on a Saturday?

Let me cliff notes to thise confused:
YOU are a parent of a son/daughter involved in HS/College/Pro football/cheer/band/etc.
YOU are invited to wedding that conflicts with game.
Obviously direct mother, father, & siblings are understandably missing wedding for the game.
What I need to know is how far does the "understanding" extend?
Aunt/Uncle/cousin?
Grandparents?
Godparents?
Etc?

Some are on Fridays, but Saturdays are more common. Fridays are typically for the Rehearsal Dinner.
If you're dealing with out-of-town relatives, Friday night football for their teenagers are a big deal.

In my case, these "Aunt/Uncle/cousin?Grandparents?Godparents?" aren't going to my kids game more than likely on a day WITHOUT a wedding.

Yes, but many weddings are out of town/state.
For a local/nearby wedding, that wouldn’t be an issue.
However, more and more high school games are being played on saturdays these days.

Meaning they use the game as an excuse to miss the wedding?

I'd never miss my kids' games for anything that isn't an absolute emergency.
