Im a die hard Aubie and got married on Iron Bowl Saturday. Here is the story.

My wife had one place and one place only in mind for where she wanted to have the wedding. She loved the place long before she met me and I had family ties to it as my Great Grandfather was born on the place when it was a working cattle farm.

So she and her mother are going to meet the owner and set a date for a fall wedding. I tell her I don't care as long as it isn't the Saturday of the IB.

She calls me later and says that the property has been sold and the new owners are not going to do events anymore and there was only one open date left and after Nov the new owner takes over. Of course it is IB Saturday.

We set up a couple TVs in the lobby and honestly after the minimal bitching it wasnt bad. People partied at an open bar and they would walk out to check the score and watch a few minutes but other than that the wedding was a blast and AU got shredded anyway so it was a great time.

The kicker when I agreed was that from this moment on in perpetuity any year our anniversary falls on same weekend as IB we will postpone celebrations until the following weekend. She has held her end of the bargain thus far through 7 years
