It's my cousins wedding, he's one of my best friends. But but it's the Bama game
Damn that makes it tough. Can you lie and say you've already spent a metric ton of money on some non-refundable deluxe package and hotel (if you live far enough away)? Will the game be on at the reception?

Here's an idea (pretty creative too):
Call your cousin ASAP. Tell him the truth. Say, "Mutherfricker...you know how much the TN/Bama game means to me. To us! Why the frick did you allow your fiancé to plan the wedding on that weekend of all weekend?"
No matter how your cousin responds, follow up with this, "I don't want this to drive a wedge between us. I value your friendship. You're like a brother to me. Which makes what I'm about to say painful but necessary: I won't be at your wedding. I'm going to the game..."
Your cousin will protest but kindly cut him off and say, "Dude, if I miss that game because you didn't have the balls to tell your fiancé to schedule it on another date...I'll hate you forever. I love you too much to allow your fiancé to ruin our lifelong friendship. Dude, I hope you'd do the same for me. I'd expect nothing less..."
Your cousin will continue to protest, perhaps at this point he will be preparing to leave. You grab his arm and say, "Sit down and please listen to me, cuz. I have a compromise that may make your wedding the GOAT wedding. Hear me out..."
Your cousin will take a seat and begrudgingly listen.
"I'll take my iPad to the game and wear the tux as well. I'll ask my mom to place the iPad on a table near the alter so that you can see me and I can see you and your fiancé during the ceremony. I won't just be there in spirit, I'll actually be there through the power of technology. Also, I'll do my best to get the crowd into it as much as possible. The moment you kiss, the entire crowd will congratulate you and cheer. It'll be one of the coolest things imaginable. Also, I'll try to get the stadium to project your wedding kiss onto the jumbo tron for everyone to witness. If I can pull it off, it'll be legendary for me, for you and your fiancé, for EVERYONE! Think about that. This is a great idea, bro! Roll with it! Send me to the game!"
Your cousin will smile and certainly consider it.
Just remember to tell him it was Killz' idea.
