Weddings, hell!
My sister had the audacity to have a baby during the Super Bowl! (pre-cell phone days). My mother and I kept running back and forth between delivery and the waiting room so we could keep up with the game (sister had a looooong labor). To make it worse, her soon-to-be-ex-husband was at home … watching the damn game.

lol. So the assumptions being made here are 1. The groom is obsessed with college football so much they don't leave their homes every Saturday, except to go to the actual game of their team. and 2. That the groom had the say in when the wedding would happen. Sorry honey, we can either do it in July or August (heat of the summer) or wait until next spring :) Beautiful way to start out a relationship!
I love college football as much as the next person and I do typically try to plan my Saturday's around it (gym and run early in the mornings, etc.), but if my wife and kids wanted to do something or something came up on Saturday, I'd be recording the games I wanted to see and doing that. At the end of the day it's just a game.

frick the NFL generally speaking. I could give two shits about the super bowl unless the cowboys were in it. The odds of that are very low obviously lol

I'm getting married in a few weeks, on a Sunday. Ask me anything.

If you can’t talk your fiancée out of a fall wedding just cut off your balls now, you’ve already lost every arguement

cool story bro. Having said all of that I got married in the spring. So what happens when your kids start getting to the age they play sports? You don't let them because it's college football Saturday, or you just send your wife and tell your kids you'd rather watch some teenagers play football than them?

Or you could expand your horizon and stop being so hell bent on one fricking venue. There’s plenty of Catholic Churches in Louisiana they could’ve checked out instead of being so set on that same damn one i
Im talking about the venue where the reception is not the church.
As I've said, younger and more and more are scrapping the church idea to get married and just having the actual wedding ceremony at the same place the reception is.
Although if this chick is that religious and wants to do it at her church I understand.

Would y’all say it’s selfish to plan a wedding on a fall Saturday knowing it’s an SEC game? I could certainly justify skipping Rice, La Tech or Southeastern.
No. In fact, I would say that you are the selfish one.

he's trolling obviously. But it is a pretty ridiculous notion. A bride isn't going to plan her wedding day around a group of people's fandom. Especially if yo're like me and have friends who root for different teams. Not to mention trying to find a specific date with a venue is tough. It was for us anyways, but Nashville is a different animal during wedding season.

My favorite is on LSU's one bye every season, there is at least a couple of events you have to choose from. Everyone seizes those dates pretty quickly.

That wasn’t really a story but thanks anyways “bro”
Not sure which school aged children play sports on Saturdays in the south during FB game times. Saturday mornings? Yes. They don’t schedule games for kids during the same time big college games are on. It’s called being considerate.
I don’t know how you Midwest folk do things up north but down south, events are scheduled AROUND the SEC games.

The chick isn’t that religious. It’s totally just to appease her old fashioned family. It’s all about image and look at me. The church the wedding is at isn’t even their church. It’s an hour away from their home. In fact, I don’t even think they go to church every Sunday so therefore, having the wedding in a church is sort of materialistic IMO.

We have a wedding to go to that week too. In Br. I will be constantly telling them how smart it was planning on this date. It’s not crazy. It makes sense. This is the south. Football is king

I didn't know NWA was the midwest. I guess I learn something new every day.

North of I-40?
Most definitely the Midwest dude. Do y’all even drink sweet tea? Do y’all even say y’all? Do y’all even know what grits are?

are the parents paying for it?
that could be the reason.

I totally get that for local/BR community-type events (CSTX is the same), like festivals, concerts, etc.
But fall weddings on bye weeks are as bad as weddings on game weeks, unless EVERY SINGLE one of your guests graduated from LSU.
Otherwise, other teams are playing too—to say nothing of the fact that I love bye weeks almost as much as game weeks, for the sole reason that I’m able to kick back and enjoy a day of football w/o having to travel to CS.
I’m one of three girls/daughters. The weddings in our fam took place in the winter and summer. There are 52 weeks in the year; it’s not hard to plan around 15 or so weeks in the fall.

haha, I'm 70 miles north of the south then. Was I in the south when I lived in Orlando for 6 years? That's south of I-40.
