That's why we got married during the bye weekend. Zero excuse for this

Yep.

Perfectly acceptable


I told my boys to really think about a wedding on bye weekends ... it may be a bye THIS year but not EVERY year which can lead to anniversary woes if she's not a fan of football.

destination wedding with very close family/friends.

Reception few weeks later.

That is the perfect plan.

But, you gotta talk the woman into that.



I'm a female, and this is EXACTLY what I want if I ever get married. I don't love being the center of attention and I feel like big ceremonies cause people to lose sight of why they're there in the first place...to celebrate the actual marriage.

Run away, do the deed, come back and have a big party for 100 of my closest friends. Takes the pressure off.

Anyone who has a wedding during a home college football game doesn't give a rats arse about their friends. That is so selfish.

I hope no one shows up.

If Lsu wins or loses this game, it will not put them any higher up for a better bowl game, that's just the facts.

Well, this statement goes along the same lines of scheduling your wedding on the weekend of LSU-Bama.

My anniversary is in early June and around regionals and supers and the wife always bitched about me going to BR for the games. I consider this my biggest failure in life so far. I blame this on Smoke who had us sucking at the time.

things can change and suddenly the schedule moves and your wedding in on a game day. Or, years layer, your anniversary falls on a game day and you have to choose between it and some anniversary thing.


Since the 1960's we have played Bama on the first or second Saturday of November. You can set your watch on it. It happens every damn year. If she was such a big fan she would know about this.

A friend of my husband got married the night of the Saints/Vikings NFC Championship game. We went to the game and obviously skipped the wedding. Groom actually sent a text to my husband the night of the wedding..all upset we weren't there. To this day he's still upset about it.

Clearly nobody went if he noticed our absence.

I've really come to despise the current wedding culture. I know couples who have close to 5 engagement parties/showers, full blown bachelor/bachelorette parties, etc all for literally 4 hours of your life.

It's exhausting, and I'm not even the one getting married


Totally agree.

It's worse when your wife is one of the bridesmaids for someone who is OMG SUPER SERIOUS about her wedding. One of my wife's friends turned into Nick Saban, demanding perfection and every ounce of energy from her bridesmaids when planning every single detail. She even expected them to come up with neat ideas for gifts/parties/etc. as well. She's the epitome of one of those people who's been wholly obsessed with her own wedding day since way before she ever met her husband. Needless to say, by the time the wedding happened, everyone was so tired of her crap that you could feel the tension and disenchantment at the reception.

I've only been married for 5 years so I'm not exactly a wise old sage when it comes to marriage, but I've found that you can usually tell whether a marriage is going to work out or not based on how focused a bride is on her own wedding versus how much a bride is focused on what comes after that day. My wife was more focused about the days, weeks, and years that came after our wedding, not that one day, and you can generally tell a difference.

This is the reason we planned our wedding for the spring. Wife wanted it in the fall originally but too many potential conflicts for guests.

Yeah, there was probably very sparse attendance if he remembers who didn't go to his own wedding.

My wife and I couldn't begin to tell you to this day who did and didn't go to our wedding outside of family and bridesmaids/groomsmen. Granted, it was 5 years ago, but we couldn't have told you 3 weeks after the ceremony.

Sometimes you have to hike a bit to get to the action

I'm sooo bored!

To stay on topic....I wouldn't be attending a wedding on a special day such as LSU/bama.
