For LOVE of the Game … or the Girl … or the Game?




Fall. Football season. We wait for it all year… once the National Championship is over the countdown begins. Think ahead to spring and remember the thought… “wait what are we going to do on Saturday”…. Let me help you… ATTEND YOUR FRIENDS WEDDING because the WINTER, SPRING, OR SUMMER would be the appropriate times to have a wedding.

The ONLY TRUE loop hole is, if you have checked your football team’s FINAL schedule, not the one in February, the FINAL schedule, and the schedule of the majority of your guests’ schools (that you care about), and the majority of those teams have bye weeks or are playing shit teams, then please be my guest, have a fall wedding.

Reasons to NOT have a fall wedding during football season, especially in Texas include: Unless it is LATE fall, you might as well have a Summer wedding because it is still hot as balls. All I want to do is sweat all night at your FALL wedding. That look really bodes well for everyone……….(not). Do you want to look back at your wedding photos and see that you look like the creature from the black lagoon standing next to the Loch Ness monster? Depending on the time of your wedding (if timed inappropriately during any point of a big game), your guests will not be paying attention to you (bride or groom).  We stare at our phones in our purses, pockets, behind the program, while streaming the game live or constantly hitting refresh on our ESPN app. When our team scores, we aren’t cheering for you, we are cheering for the amazing play that has just happened, that you’ve missed by the way. Oh, I’m sorry things aren’t going as planned? We’ve been drinking since noon so we can only help ourselves, to your food, drinks, dance floor, and tunnel vision to the babes you’ve invited, but thanks for having us! …. Don’t get me started on ceremony versus reception…. My how your wedding will grow!

Reasons TO HAVE a fall wedding during football season: +mclean Brittingham This weekend is a GREAT example, I’m attending a wedding. Texas Tech/ Ole Miss wedding. In town… CHECK, don’t give a fuck about Texas or OU...CHECK, Tech plays unranked 1-3 Iowa State at 11am CHECK and the 4pm ceremony will be done (happily married and flawless) hours before the Ole Miss game…CHECK. Now, that is how to have a fall wedding in Texas during football season, oh and it’s in a church followed by a tented reception. NBD. If its not in Texas, then the reprieve from the swamp ass will be welcomed with delight, BUT be careful you can’t have your wedding too far away $$$$ there goes your guest list.

BOTTOM LINE: Be smart enough if you are going to have it in the fall … like the above couple…. And if you can’t be that crafty… you have 3 other seasons to choose from. Don’t be greedy, let football have fall. Godspeed.

P.S. I’m sure writing this entry has cursed me into a fall destination wedding J …. I do want destination…. ANY TAKERS?...........ANYONE?
