re: Fall Weddings...Zero Tolerance

it's not about how much anyone needs to see a game to have fun, it's about recognizing that people like to watch football on saturdays and people like celebrating & spending time with their friends at their weddings. I just don't see why those two things are so ironclad 100% incompatible...
my original example wasn't to say that all weddings to be fun must have an alabama football game on, it was to say that the bride recognized that they might as well keep a game on since the setup was there. and I'm not saying that every guest was crowded around the screen the entire time. I couldn't tell you if anyone really paid attention to it. but it was there, remote and all, if anyone wanted to enjoy watching some football between dancing and hors d'oeuvres.
it's not like i get upset and storm out when there isn't football on at a reception, i'm saying i understand why you would want it AND why you wouldn't. but i don't understand why there has to be this unbreakable rule about it.

Yet you keep posting. Just like with the weddings, you're free to leave this thread whenever you like.

Seriously most weddings you go to are in the fall, rather than spring?
Yes seriously. I've had 10 good friends get married, and all but 2 were in the fall or December. And one of these was due to an accidental pregnancy :inb4trashy:

It is what it is. Life goes on surprisingly.

And I never said this, why can't you grasp that?
That wasn't just for you. I just wanted to cover my bases before some other guy tried to jump on it.

Why? My answers make sense.

That's the first sign of a controlling wife in your future, fellas.

They aren't. But that doesn't mean a reception for a wedding needs to be scheduled around possible football conflicts.

What does it mean when I picked the date?

well, it doesn't need to be, but it can be, and lots of people think it should. are these the same people who will show up anyway, sure, for the most part. i think there are just people in here, myself included, that would say pick your date how ever you want, but don't expect everyone to line up to give you a medal for it.

I agree with this to an extent. For big games, sure. Like Alabama, Florida, etc. But for the crappy Homecoming ones, etc. WHO CARES? I'd rather go to a wedding than see a 40-0 whopping on a nobody team.

How you and Ocean don't see that I not only agree with this but also am not asking for a medal is beyond me.

How's the marriage going? You seem like a really pragmatic fella.

Marriage is awesome. You seem like a moron that whines about stuff he could choose not to do yet finds a way to still participate.

You seem like a guy that says things to hurt others feelings, but I think you are the one that is hurting. Talk to me.

I'm sorry the truth hurts your feelings. What happened to that white flag? Is someone forcing you to keep posting?
ETA: And I'm out of here. This thread is clearly done.

how about the brides who are intentionally challenging the games....like they want to see if they can "beat" lsu vs bama in the hearts and minds of their friends...i've known some like that
Posted on 7/24/14 at 11:15 am to LNCHBOX
No, you are now being irrational, and I think its funny. I bet you post again. And didn't even have to call you a moron.
But I still think you are a moron.

I understand that you did not have your wedding on an LSU Gameday, but you did get married on Thanksgiving Weekend?

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
good point! he distracted us with being the righteous defender of the sanctity of weddings that we all forgot he actually did screw his guests! A holiday weekend, sir you should be ashamed.
Sir, how many of your guests choked back tears telling you how great your reception was, while back home in Iowa the rest of the family was gathered around the bedside of his dear grandmother. Racked with pain, the cancer has all but won the battle. In and out of consciousness, her eyes flutter open one last time. She strains her neck to see all of her loved ones but a look of sadness fall upon her face. "Why? Why must David, my favorite grandchild, why must he have left thanksgiving lunch before the pumpkin pie was even served?" "Well, Nana, he had to get on a flight back to New Orleans to be in LNCHBOX's wedding." "On a holiday?", asked Nana. "Yes, you see, there were vendors and venues to think about, and thanksgiving isn't everyone's favorite holiday, the way it is yours, Nana." "Well, I just hope that wherever David is, he's watching any football game, any one of them will do. Tell him I'll see him when he returns from the wedding this weekend, a weekend where no one ever travels and everyone is always available. Tell him I lo-". It was then that Nana slipped off into a sleep she would never wake up from. And as the family was left to mourn the passing without David, Nana shite her bed.

Congrats on bringing me back in.
Actually that goes hand in hand with what I've been saying all along, go or don't go. It's the opposite of a gotcha, but nice try.
None, because we discussed this with all aunts uncles grandparents. They all come into town for the Holidays anyway. This was just yet another event we all had together.
As for the wedding party, we cleared it with all of them as well, and invited their families as well.
Regardless, I didn't expect everyone invited to attend, nor was I upset at anyone who didn't make it. So that whole wall of text is basically a complete fail on your part. Again, thanks for trying.

Geez, Jerry Lewis, you don't have to be so witty and playful all the time...some of us like to take everything very seriously...
Besides, it wasn't a complete fail...I really did have a good time killing your wedding guest's grandmother.

see you vetted out all of your guest to see if that weekend was ok. If I were tell my friends and family my wedding could be on say 11/5/11 most of them would tell me to pick another weekend. I assume a lot of others in this thread feel the say way.
to each is their own
