The Rant, the most reasonable place to get advice from involving marriage................ 
Posted on 10/26/12 at 10:33 pm to 08Tiger
She will get over it. My wife's sister had planned her wedding on the day of LSU vs. Bama many years ago. I told my wife, your sister is from Walker and should know better than this . they wound up not getting married but stick to your guns , She will either get over it or pout for a few weeks then be okay.

If the wife really wants him to go, she's going about it the wrong way. She needs to offer him something fun that he doesn't usually get to do (or that she doesn't like letting him do to her), and she needs to offer a lot of it.
If he's going to make a sacrifice, she needs to as well. Giving him the silent treatment is counterproductive. There will be a time he prefers that to hearing her nag.

I've been married a long time & football means a lot to both me & my husband. I would NEVER ask him to miss a huge game like LSU/Bama (and I mean that even if I didn't like football). I understand she wants you to go, but I'm sorry she will have to get over this one. It's football season baby!!! She'll be ok, go to the game & enjoy us beat down the Gumps!
Gotta agree with this. Think about it, she will be too busy to worry about you since she is the matron of honor.

She'll forget about this and find something else to be mad at you about pretty soon.
This is the correct answer. Plus since you said she's the maid of honor, she'll be hanging out with the bride all freaking night, go to the game and be done with it.

I think it's an excellent way to see I she is committed to this relationship. You will have far greater hurdles to overce if you are going to be together so might as well test the waters now.

Yep -- but compromise. Get a set of unobtrusive bluetooth headphones, and plug those babys into an iPhone or Galaxy that plays the CBS Sports App, and listen to it while the ceremony is going on and listen and watch the rest of the time.

Don't tell me that this wedding is in Louisiana and was scheduled at the same time as the biggest football game of the year. Something tells me that the wedding attendance may be down. Your support is needed in Tiger Stadium.

Marriage is not about self it is about showing love to the other person. Trust me...go to the wedding. Especially since she is in the 2nd highest honor at the wedding...she wants your support. She will be embarrassed if you let her go by herself. The maiden of honor is someone how is married. Maid of honor is someone who is not married. People will ask her where you are....this will be very embarrassing for her. If you want your wife to feel that way you need to learn how to love your wife better.

Leave her! It,s her friends fault who in their right mind would plan a wedding on the same day as lsu/bama football. It,s cut and dry if she skips the game for the wedding, your only option is divorce. Your the one that should,nt be talking to her. If she can,t be there for u on the biggest day of your life, I say u hve no choice "leave her!" Hope I was helpful.

PIIHB in TD terms
But yea he should go to the game...she knew you were a football fan when she married you and she's asking you to miss the biggest game of the year to go to her friends wedding? If anyone is in the wrong it's her
Posted on 10/27/12 at 12:30 am to quaggy
If that floats his boat... I guess so. Would PIIHB for a month be worth missing the Alabama-LSU game and going to a wedding?

I had to do the same thing two years ago
Go to the wedding they will have the game on at the reception.
Your marriage is more important then football
You married her because you loved her!!!
"Love your wife as Christ loves the Church"
Sacrifice for your wife put her first!!!

Wrong. I had to go to a wedding last year on Nov. 5. This was one of my cousins (born and raised in Philly just so you know) so I had to go.
The wedding was in Dallas but leave it to CBS to move it to a night game! The ceremony was over about 15 min to kickoff and I made it back to change into my gear.
I went to the reception at halftime and there were no tvs, just a mild DJ and a lot of chafing dishes heating food.
Said my congratulations again and I was out.
The OP has only been married 6 months and his wife will be hanging out with her best friend all night, the OP will be standing around twiddling his thumbs.
It's important to her, this is important to him. The person getting married isn't even a blood relative. It's her best friend.
Like Stuttgart said, she'll forget about it and get mad at him for something else soon anyway.
He's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Do what you want to do OP.

Wait a minute. You failed to mention the wife is IN the wedding and matron of honor. I'm retracting my previous answer. If you go to the game under these circumstances, after she finally gets over the day, every year on that date, you will relive some hell. Trust me. Remember, I'm a woman even though my friends know better than to schedule non game events on game days if they want me present.
Sorry.
Sorry.
