if she is a good girlfriend then she will tell you to go the game and have a good time. If she is one of them whiny bitches that will complain about you wanting to not go to this wedding then she isn't the right girl.

How do wedding planners allow Saturday weddings during football season?


It's probably because they like to make money all year, not just based on when retards think it's appropriate.

I understand it is really important to some people. But the thing is...it clearly isn't that important to the couple planning the wedding. They don't have to plan their wedding around other people's passions and hobbies because at the end of the day....it is THEIR WEDDING.



I agree with this 100% but on the flip side the bride has to understand that people are going to skip her wedding to go to the game.

I’m anti wedding so if I can find an excuse to miss one I’m gonna use it

Which is perfect when you are stuck inviting people you don't really know or want there cause your parents insist.


And I get your point. You have the right to plan your wedding whenever, but also need to not get upset when you don't have the attendance you want cause they have other obligations they deem more important to them.

And I don’t have to attend THEIR WEDDING!
Its my decision! And don’t be mad if I value going to a football game over going to a 2nd cousins wedding.
At the end of the day a wedding is for the couple, but to not be considerate of your guest is rude in my opinion. And getting mad that I don’t want to go.

The daughter of a good friend of ours got married last year on the day of the LSU/Alabama game. When the church service was over and standing outside St. Louis Cathedral almost every guy with a cellphone was catching up on the game.

Funny thing was, she and her husband were both LSU grads. You'd think they'd know better.

I love the fact that I come from a huge catholic family in Baton Rouge! The church doesn’t allow marriages on Saturdays after 4. They say it’s for religious reasons but we all know it’s because saturday nights are for football

No one who attended my small wedding was mad it was on a Saturday. Not even the diehard LSU fans that went. Even those friends realize it is just a football game.
Yes, because I'm sure they would have told you they were mad at you.

I get that it’s a hobby for the diehard fans but what I don’t get is the complaining. If I have a scheduling conflict with a wedding chances are the wedding is going to lose but I won’t be starting a thread about it.

As with most things, the answer lies in the middle of the 2 extremes.

Some go way overboard with the "How dare you schedule a wedding on a Saturday" and others go way overboard thinking "How dare you miss a wedding for some random acquaintance because of football"


If it's not a really close friend, I just don't give a shite about your wedding, I just don't. So I'll probably choose football over your wedding. And if you're a rational human being, you shouldn't give a shite if I go to your wedding or not. You likely won't even notice I wasn't there, so who gives a shite?

I did a small destination wedding in Florida. If they were that upset...they just wouldn't have gone imo. We even chose Florida instead of a more tropical locale so that it would be more affordable for our family and close friends to attend. If we really wanted to do it "our way" we would have gotten married on a beach out of the country.


I already knew attendance would be less than the amount of invites I sent. I sent out 50 invites...we had 29 people there (that included my husband and I). I had really close friends not go cause they couldn't afford it. Didn't upset me at all, I totally understood and didn't hold it against our friendship.
