I am willing to allow a friend to get married during football season. But, they should use the following:
- Avoid Saturdays.
- If Saturdays cannot be avoided, pick the bye week.
- If the bye week is not feasible, make sure it's an away game
- If the day of an away game must be the wedding day, all of the following must be met:
- Ceremony cannot conflict with the game.
- If the reception conflicts with the game, a TV carrying the game must be provided, must remain available for the duration of the game, and I will be allowed free and full access to food and beverages.
- Do not request that I be in the wedding party, any pictures, dances, garter tosses, or any other activities during the game
- I must be fully exempted from any current or future grief for watching the game during the reception, and for any game-related actions or language.
- If any of the above are not acceptable, we were never that close anyway.
That part is the toughest, what with our 6 day TV time window. Although I guess if the wedding is at 1PM or earlier you are safe, because Gawd forbid Larry allows a game to start during the day.
The thing is you are supposed to set the wedding date considering when is a good time of year for the anniversary trips. SO I guess a Coug fan could do it in the Fall figuring on going to future games as the anniversary getaway.
