Do people schedule weddings during football season?!? My niece whom was proposed to last year decided that they will get married this fall. They’ve had all year to get married but no, they’re getting married September 29 in the afternoon!!! Of all games I mostly was looking forward to it had to be that game!I’ve been waiting for that game since muffinhead left. And get this, she and her fiancé live outside of Oxford and they’re big ole turd fans. That is where the wedding will be. Ugh!

Fake your death, plan your funeral for that day. Skype in the surprise from the casket! Everyone wins.

I knew a State guy that got married on the day of the Alabama game AND opening day of deer season.

At least you get to spend a fall Saturday in the most beautiful place on Earth.

Go to the game and watch the wedding on television.

Looks like their wedding date was scheduled around the OM football schedule ... that's an OM off day. So don't go. It may have been done on purpose, knowing we play Florida that day.

Oxford is an absolutely stunning and sophisticated southern treasure on a fall Saturday.

Don't ask Ryan Gridley's sister, she waited until during another season to get married.

The only correct answer. She has a 50/50 chance of being a divorced mother of 2 bedecked in OM garb within 4 years when Orvis Chance Pickford III leaves her for a younger model with unmaxed credit cards. You only have one Sept 29th Revenge Game.

Start calling all of the other relatives and tell them she is pregnant and her husband is an ex con meth addict pedophile. Within a week or two the invitation will be withdrawn.

I'd fake sick and parlay it with a morning fishing trip before the game. May as well get your money's worth when she busts you.

Without sounding like a bastard you have to stand your ground on this one. If youre married you know you have to pick your battles. This would quality. Ive told my wife already that game is tops 2018. I let her win little battles thru the yr so i dont get much of a fight on the things i wanna do.
As for this situation; its time to just be honest and say im sorry but youre not gonna miss me anyhow....what a guy whos gonna have espn3 on the whole wedding anyways? Nope....bye, heres a gift.

It's ok to if it's early in the season and there are away games vs crappy teams. Anything less is an insult to our friendship.

Is this a blood related niece - your brother / sisters daughter? If not, then there’s no way you’re obligated to go. Fake a business trip if you can do that and just make sure no pictures of you show up on social media at the game.

My wife knew the deal. She couldn't schedule a game on an MSU football game weekend, on the Superbowl, or on the Daytona 500.

My position has always been if someone wants me to go to something they wouldn’t schedule it for the same day as a State home game. Clearly she doesn’t want you to go, so don’t go.

If its a blood relative, they should just know better and will understand. If its a "married into the clan" relative, **** 'em, they don't care if you're there or not. I just don't get weddings and never have. Brides and mothers of the bride are the only ones that look forward to them

Is it your life or hers? Do what you want with your time. Don't let her dictate how you will spend your time. Go to the game. Don't make excuses. Just don't say anything. Get them a gift. Be done with it.

the deer rut is out as well, let's go ahead and say all of December and January. February thru August ok.

Just don't go. Hell it's not your daughter. I have been married 29 years and in the past 29 years I have been to one wedding and that was my own. I will send money and a card but hell if I don't want to go I just don't go and if they don't like oh well. It's not like they put food on my table or clothed my kids.

I have a brother in law who is pissed at me now because I chose the Gator Bowl this past December rather then attend his daughters wedding. They still took my money so screw him. He damn sure don't put food on my table. He can stay pissed off.

We are different people. I would send a nice gift and tell her I’ll be at the football game. Enjoy the honeymoon.

Yep. I was ready to buy the ring and propose in late April/early May, but I held off until the end of July because I knew that she wouldn't be able to get everything planned before February....wedding was in March.

Tell her if she changes the date your wedding gift is a nice chunk of change to go to the honeymoon. If not, a copy of Flim Flam.
