re: How many of you?

We got married in the fall (October) because I finished my Master's in August and we didn't want to wait.

BUT-

We had to make it work around 3 football schedules. My husband and I went to Alabama, he grew up in Auburn, and I grew up in Tallahassee.

We had to find a weekend where Alabama, Auburn, and FSU were either not playing or had shitty away games. We got lucky.

My children will not get married in the fall.

I have spent more than one time as a bridesmaid with a freaking walkman and headphones hidden.

And, yes, I said walkman. I'm 40 - we didn't have iPhones and ESPN3 and streaming shite when all my friend were getting married 16-18 years ago, you young whippersnappers.

Nowadays if someone is inconsiderate enough to plan a wedding during a big game, we just send an expensive gift and don't attend the wedding. The bride and groom don't even notice if old people they had to invite for their parents are there.
