re: Weddings during college football season

My best friend's sister got married the same night as the Alabama/LSU game and Astros World Series clinching game 6. I went to the ceremony but not the reception. I wasn't missing either game for another cookie cutter wedding. The smartest decision I've made in the past couple years.
Idc if one schedules it around football season normally but if it's a huge game, then I have to make exceptions.

What's worse is the fact that every one of those is a conference game.

Our wedding was 10am late September. Outdoor/indoor brunch food reception kicked off at 11am, everyone raved how awesome it was. Dudes were back home for the 2:30 kicks. Lost my virginity by 3pm.

One of my friends got married the evening of LSU-Bama. In 1998. I missed the fourth quarter.
I should look her up and send a thank you note.

Priorities I suppose. If missing a football game is more important than the persons wedding, maybe you shouldn't go to begin with regardless of the time of year.
Just a thought.

If you'd rather watch a football game than witness a marriage between two people that you care about you are probably a piece of shite.
it still amazes me how few people grasp sarcasm on this site.

My daughter (no pics) got married the week of the Florida game one year.
The wedding was on Friday. I knew I raised that girl right.

One of my best friend’s oldest child is getting married on UGA/OM game day at 2:00. It is part of life and the boy’s future wife is a state fan of course

Imagine basing important life events around watching college kids(most of which hate you) play a game.
imagine planning to spend several hours going to an event in which it has no significant meaning in a day and age in which sex before marriage is prevalent, and also the start of a journey in which most end in divorce about 55% of the time

Is this football game more important than my daughter's wedding?"
Absolutely. The ceremony is over. I’m not married to her. If you wanted people to be focused on you (extremely vain btw) then you shouldn’t have scheduled your wedding at the same time as something men are far more interested in.
Outside of gays, men don’t give a shite about weddings that aren’t their own. Hell most men don’t even care about their own wedding, just make it quick, under budget, and drama-free.
Your wedding ceremony should be quick, fast and to the point. Anything over 20 minutes is egomaniacal and being a vane attention whore. Have some good food, drink, and music at your reception. Keep that to 2, maybe 3 hours at the max. No wedding + reception should occupy more than 4 hours of your guests’ attention at the max. Your honeymoon budget should dwarf your wedding budget. That’s for the couple. That’s when you take a week or two and do whatever the hell you want together and kick off your life together right.
And yes I care more about football than every wedding I’ve ever been to, even for family members. The ceremony and much more importantly the marriage will and has gone on without me there. I’ll send you a toaster and a card and tell you to enjoy your honeymoon.

It’s crazy how different some people’s priorities are in life.

Meh, with modern technology it’s easy to keep in touch with and up to date on what your extended family has going on.
My extended family has actually had a few family reunions during football season and they’ve actually been fun. Have plenty of tvs at the venues with a bunch of games on, eat a bunch of bbq, play some random games, some of the teens/kids will bring a PlayStation or Nintendo and they’ll have fun with that. Make a bunch of dumb arse bets with relatives on the games and make plans to hang out soon and not follow up for months or years.
The only ones who don’t show up are the ones going to the games (that’s awesome, we try to see if we can spot them in the crowd during the broadcast) or are miserable farts who we only invited out of courtesy not any real desire to see them.

I skipped my brothers wedding entirely because it conflicted with UF v FSU 94.

If you aren’t directly participating in the ceremony then your presence is irrelevant. The wedding is a pointless ceremony. The legal documents have already been signed. 95% of these things are carbon copies of each other anyways.
Some of y’all definitely have Low T problems if y’all are more interested in weddings than sports.

That these things coincided with many of us growing up and no longer living and dying with CFB can't be missed either

I like that. I may use that line in the future.
My opinion on the subject matter is.....No one is forcing you to go to either (unless you're the one getting married), so why GAF.
Posted on 8/15/24 at 12:54 pm to RLDSC FAN
All the guys I know who used to care a lot about football barely even turn on the TV on gamedays anymore, so I suppose a football season wedding wouldn't matter to us like it used to.
