I'm getting married next October. Ole Miss and LSU are away (its in Baton Rouge and I attended Ole Miss). The ceremony will be after the 2:30 game ends and will last 20 minutes and the reception will have televisions for the night games.

Still foul?


Sounds good to me.

I got married last weekend. Ceremony was family only on Friday, reception was an LSU-Moo U tailgate party with the game on the projector. We were going to run away just us but decided upon this instead.

Turned out great...planned it on an away game with lots of great food and alcohol. Nobody had to dress up for the "reception" and it was just a big party that lasted all day. People could come and go as they pleased.

Of course my wife loves football. She would rather go to a big LSU game on our anniversary and save any anniversary trips/shindigs for an open week or crappy game. I'm a lucky man.

Anyone who plans their wedding during the months from Sept - Dec is essentially signing a waiver that removes their right to be angry at anyone who doesnt attend.

I agree 100%. We didn't really care who was able to make it and who wasn't. It was going to be a party either way. We were hoping that people would stick around and watch the game with us. If not they could leave 30 min before game and get home to their TVs.

My bro got married on the day of the 2010 Florida game for which my other brother and I had tickets. I heroically made the game in time even after being one of the last people left after the reception. Being a student, I ended up having to watch the game from the spirals with the Ramp Lady (google). True story. You can all wake up now.

You need to step it up. My whole family and my wife know better than to even think about asking me to go somewhere on the weekends during football season!

I was invited to a friends wedding on the day of the 2010 Florida game. I was considering going knowing that the ceremony would be over before and everybody could watch at the reception. Sounded like a good plan until the bride said that she wouldn't allow the game to be on during the reception. So I didn't go, not many did and she was pissed.

A guy I do business with got married on the Saturday that LSU played Bama a few years ago. His wife picked it because of the availability of wherever they got married. Nobody from work went, I know several of his family didn't go.

I told him nobody would go but I think he thought I was joking.

We had to work around three football teams-

I grew up in Tallahassee - FSU
He grew up in Auburn - AU
And we both went to UA

We had to get married in the fall because I had just finished my Master's, he was already working, and I did NOT want to live with my parents for months.

The wedding was in Tallahassee at 2:00 PM.

FSU had a bye.
AU was away at Arky - 6:30 game.
UA played North Texas on PPV.

We did pretty good.

And, I for one, LOVE having my anniversary on a football weekend!
