. I tell my wife all the time, I dont care who it is. I wont go if it interferes with Auburn football. frick em. They know the schedule. Plan accordingly.
I have long thought this (and stuck by it, missed many weddings of friends/family because I'd rather be at football games, no regrets) but my reckoning is coming. My wife has a sister that is currently ring shopping with her bf and they are almost surely going to get engaged soon. That is one wedding that I truly don't have a choice in and will actually be forced to go. I mean not physically bound and dragged obviously, but I shudder to think of the lifetime of repercussions if I were to skip it.
HOWEVER, I believe that the gods of football fate are smiling down upon me, because at the moment their tentative date they have in mind is 10/19/19....and we just happen to have a bye that weekend.
I did tell my wife though that if they picked the weekend of the ND game I would have some serious soul searching to do, considering it's literally never happened before and it actually a once in a lifetime deal. But forutnatley that doesn't look like it's the plan.

I got married Nov. 3rd, 1990. UGA was turrible that year. Finished 4-7, IIRC. So needless to say, I didn't much give a frick about football that year, and I was also too hung over to worry about it.
Some notable SEC scores on my wedding day...
Alabama, 22....Miss. State, 0
Florida, 48....Auburn, 7
Tennessee, 41...Temple, 20
And surprisingly, that's all that was on the slate for that week in the SEC.

Yep, we aren't any kind of big deal to the loving couple 
I got married on a FB Saturday and remember telling everyone that it really was just fine with us if they didn't attend.
Not to get all Sigmund Freud but a lot of these posters actually have issue with others having authority in their lives, not weddings

IDK what it is... But I really like weddings.
More than tailgates.
Is that bad?

We made it easy on everyone and picked a date when Ole Miss was out of town (and we sucked anyway, so no one was going), State was off and USM was way, way out of town (their fans don't even travel to Hattiesburg).

I married into a big Rebel family. The schedule was definitely discussed. The now Mrs. Cane told them all to stay away if they didn't want to come, both reb and dog

Hey, to each his/her own; whatever flies your flag.
I am not a fan of traditional weddings and cringe whenever I receive an invite ... or worse, when I open my mail to find the now trendy, passive aggressive, “Save the Date” (as if an invitation isn’t enough?).
That said, it’s the couple’s gig, and they can do what they please.
I politely decline (a quick response is key), send my congratulations/a gift, and don’t give it a second thought.

Exactly the correct response, imo.
If people were totally honest they would decline about 1/2 of the gifts. The stuff is just going to sit around unused, or get re-gifted. I would have happily given up gifts in exchange for fewer Thank You cards to write

Yeah, but you corndogs will do that for Southern Mississippi. or just because its tuesday.
Good point.
Also, don't get me wrong. I have a blast at most weddings, but I just rather they be scheduled so they don't conflict with other fun stuff.

Listen, my son got married on January 1st. It was between law school semesters, so he had a good reason. But, I told him flat out...if Auburn is in a New Years day bowl, I will NOT be there. Luckily for him and me, we would up playing like January 4th that year. However, I meant it. Might have cost me a divorce, but that is another story.

My wedding was the night LSU played Alabama last year. Wasn’t my choice but oh well. Went to Tennessee on the honeymoon to watch LSU and UT
i always swore that i would not pay for a wedding on a football game weekend in the fall. but my daughter got married the same weekend as you last year. fall in the midwest is drop dead gorgeous. they were married on the campus where she went to law school and it all worked out.
i had a room off the the main reception rooms set up with t.v's showing all of the major games. everyone seemed to be happy with an all night open bar, nice dinner, late night drunk food, fun band plus football.
that said, i really hope my youngest, when the time comes, chooses to married during basketball season

You think you got it bad. I have to go to a damn wedding the day of the Georgia LSU game. I’m a season ticket holder and we only get so many big SEC matchups at home. I’m pissed the hell off to say the least. If I can’t sell these tickets then we’re missing the wedding. Sorry bro
