Poll: College football vs weddings
- Thread starter sevenyearhawk
- Start date
Our daughter's wedding was the same day as the Nebraska FB game last year. We listened on the radio in the church's kitchen area until we fell behind. By then it was time for the wedding to start. During the early planning stages, home FB game weekends were not on the possible schedule.
I'll fess up, too - we chose our wedding date before the FB schedule came out, and thought we were choosing a day that would be before the season started. Ended up being on the day of the UNI game. We scheduled it for after the game, though.
got married the day of the ISU-Nebraska game in 2006. Considering the outcome of that game, to this day I still say I made the right choice...
I had a friend that got married the day of the ISU/Iowa game. The game was in IC and the wedding was in Cedar Rapids, a bunch of us just said "we'll see you at the reception." Not sure of the year but it was a Clone win and three kids later the marriage it going strong. Good day.

A tip of the KU hardhat
I AM IMPRESSED!!!
So far, the highest numbers of votes are from the Cyclone fans!
However, the funniest story is from an Okie State fan, go back to my homeboard, KUSports, and then look for the link to OrangePower.com ...
This has been entertaining and enlightening! :wink:

Scheduling a wedding on the ISU / Iowa game date is one of the most rude, self-centered things a friend can do. In this state it is on par with having it on Thanksgiving or Christmas.
I had a cousin over in Omaha who got married 3 years ago on an October Saturday and I said are you mad!?!?!?! His response was don't worry, I already looked at the schedule and NU was playing Baylor.
I told my wife when we were wedding planning that a fall wedding was out of the question. Football being the primary reason and i've got family who farm, including my best man.

I was wondering when you might pop in for a comment.
I will let her slide this time, but she better hope that ISU wins.
tim_redd,
I expect nothing but good planning from you if something would ever be in the works. May-Aug15th is your area. Or just get hitched in vegas in a couple months:biglaugh:
We have informed family and friends we dont miss home games !Ever ! We have missed some family events and gone late to a few , but they all know we absolutely love the cyclones! :yes::biggrin: I honestly think they would be disappointed if we did it any other way.
A friend of mine got married in Ames and had the reception at the Sheman Building on gameday against Iowa in 1999. She invited me and said I could show up to the reception in my game gear and half in the bag. What? I told her she was an idiot for not looking at the ISU schedule and there's no way I was going.
I learned that she is recently divorced, so having a wedding on an ISU game day, ESPECIALLY the Iowa game, is (at least) bad luck.

On another note, I have to say my eight-year streak of attending all the ISU-Iowa games ended in 2003 when I went to my grandma's 80th birthday celebration. She is an ISU fan and said I didn't need to come, but she's grandma and that's the only reason I would miss the game.
Remember, the Nebraska game was away last year. We got to listen to a bit of ISU being ahead, before it was time for the ceremony.
I guy I went to ISU with got married during the ISU-NU game several years back. His fiance was pretty cool and wrote a letter to McCarney, saying that he was a huge Cyclone fan but couldn't make it to the game because of the wedding. McCarney wrote him a really neat letter that she gave him as a surprise at the reception. It was pretty cool. And I heard that they had a big screen at the reception for everyone to watch the game.
