and a lot of the people (males) are checking the score throughout.
My sister scheduled her wedding for LSU/Tennessee in 2010...and the next decision made was two giant projection screens at the reception. Well, they moved the game to the afternoon and we missed a ton of the game. After the ceremony, during pictures, it took twice as long to finish due refreshing phones because of the penalty that gave LSU another chance for the eventual win. Great family memory, really, but I recognize it's not exactly "proper".
Afterwards my sister arrives at the reception and says, "Well shoot the game is over...switch it to Alabama/Florida."
I guess the lesson I've learned with weddings is that if you (bride/groom) keep the right attitude about why you're there, nothing short of a death can really "ruin" anything.

Yea, football games aren't why you're there last I checked. And watching Alabama play at my wedding, no thanks.

Yeah, watching or keeping up with teams other than LSU (or your favorite team whomever that is) makes no sense to me. I like watching random games at home, but could give a shite about Bama/Florida while at a wedding.

I get the cost factor cause of season tickets, but acting like a couple is victimizing anyone if they want to have a wedding during, normally, what is the best time of yr to have family gathering in La is both selfish and and more than a tad controlling but each to our own. imo
This is a rational comment in response to irrational fan-hood. For my family it fall wedding really wouldn't be an issue but i understand most people aren't like that. I'd suck it up for a lot of family and friend but others not so much.

A "few weekends"? More like 16 and many the most desirable weekends of the yr weather wise in Louisiana.
More like 6 because hurricane season is looming disaster for a wedding.

I'm kinda ticked that douchebag AJ McCarron made it into my wedding pictures because the wife had the Iron Bowl on while she was getting ready

I think you have this backwards. I think for most people a fall wedding isn't a big deal. But you have a very vocal minority on this board.

You're the one making it a big deal. I've said repeatedly no one is forcing you to go to a wedding, yet you can't stop replying to me about why it shouldn't be in fall. The person dragging this on is you.
Do you even read what you respond to?
Chill out homie. You sound like you really enjoyed your wedding, and have no regrets. Why you spend the better part of the last 24 hours on a college football message board trying to convince people that there are more important things than football?

Insecure in his decision. That's all it really is.

Same reason you've yet to acknowledge no one has or will force you to go to a wedding you don't want to.

I actually agree with some of what you've been saying, but geez...was your reception held in an auditorium so all the guests had no choice but sit down, face front and pay attention to you all night? In my opinion, a wedding is an expression of vows and love and all that serious crap. The reception is a party you've invited your friends and family to; why wouldn't you want to treat them as guests and not captives? If it's football season, get a tv, put on a game...my god, this isn't Russia. This isn't Russia, is it Danny? No one ever went home from a wedding talking about how much fun it was watching the couple dance all night...

No, it was at a country club.

Seriously going to equate a reception as holding them captive? quote:

Yea, LSU had already played the previous day. Zero fricks given about other games on. Same for all my guests.

300+ guests and every single one of them watches one football game a week and then turns off the tv? Not one of them cared about any other game going on? that's impressive.
also, when i say guest vs captive i guess it's a matter of outlook. I'm focused on how my guests will enjoy the party I'm throwing them...you're focused on your vendors and venues. Diff'rent strokes, I suppose. Trust me, I'm not calling you out on being wrong or alone, I've been to plenty of receptions that was wrought by the mighty hand of god himself to please the bride and the bride alone. that's the norm, it seems. I just have a different outlook...the wrong one, I'd imagine the next post will tell me...

I have, several times. I just don't understand spending thousands of dollars on a party, sending out invitations with the attitude of "no one is forcing you to go."
I will reiterate:
-schedule your wedding whenever you want, but don't have an attitude that peoples priorities are skewed if they would also like to watch a football game. Most people have their priorities straight and will show up
-I scheduled mine in may to avoid this, and it wasn't as difficult as you make it out to be. Sure there could be other conflicts, but a live football game that I know my guests would like to watch, BC if they weren't at my wedding I would be spending that day with them watching the game, is a common conflict, more so than any other I can think of outside of holidays
-In my experience, I have been to more weddings after lent into July than I have all other months combined. This opens up times in the fall, which is likely why you are so adamant that you had to choose the fall, because I that's when there are openings. Of course I may be wrong, I don't k is your personal situation. But I know for a fact from scheduling my own, that I could have done it that fall during certain weekends, and that was 4-5 months out, whereas it was tougher to find a date the following May, which was 10 months away.
-I certainly realize that a football game is not as important as a major life event. All I am saying is if a large percentage of your guest list are fans of a particular team, and you can avoid conflicts, it would be courteous to do so.
Sorry if I didn't articulate my points properly before, but here they are. Fire away.

Well if you're going to keep trying to tell me a football (and now one not even involving LSU) dictates how much fun my guests had, yea you're wrong.

Never once complained about someone not showing up. Stop saying this.

Good for you. Was not an option for me.

Well mine is the direct opposite, with most in fall. Many are guys I tailgated with, so don't waste your time saying we don't care about LSU football.

Don't recognize a white flag when you see one huh?
Seriously most weddings you go to are in the fall, rather than spring? I'm not arguing with you, but you are the first person I have ever heard say that in Louisiana.
And I never said this, why can't you grasp that? I don't really want you to answer, just showing we can go back and forth forever.
