Scheduling a wedding during the Fall football season is a deep, grave sin.
Are we modern enough in 2017 to the point to where I could skype in and view the ceremony online? Surely this would be sufficient.
Dude, my cousin got married last year in Bumfuck, KY on NEW YEAR'S EVE. I guess I was sorta lucky that the late game was such garbage, but it's the principle of the thing.
Also, I had a perforated eardrum from a righteous ear infection, burst every blood vessel in my face from hurling after my dad gave me way too many vitamins to try and cure said ear infection, looked hideous in every family photo (I tried to participate in as few as possible), and my cousin could not have given less of a shit that I flew there from Texas to be at her dumb wedding.
You are a better person than I am... scheduling a wedding on NYE is just mean (and inconsiderate). I don't even think I would have skyped that one. lol

She's my only cousin and I have no siblings, so it seemed important. And it was. I'm being harsh. I am not her only cousin, though. That became very clear very quickly.
And yeah, NYE is maybe justifiable if it's a destination wedding or something. Somehow I got it in my head early on that the wedding was in Vegas, which knowing that side of family I now realize was completely delusional. I like to rep Kentucky whenever I can, but outside of the distilleries, Lexington and Louisville, it's not great.

Fuck that! No NYE wedding ever. I don't care who it is getting married. AND if they were REAL football fans, they would schedule on a Sunday and during their team's bye week.

All UK fans. They played early in the day, so we got to see them get thrashed.

we did a project about funeral planning my last semester of grad school and we talked about how great it would be to have funeral homes set up with video conferencing software so family can participate virtually.
traveling for any family/friend gathering thing - weddings, funerals, christmas, reunions, whatever - is expensive AF and takes up so much time. I rarely go to any weddings of my friends from home/college because traveling back is so time & money intensive.
also. a grad school friend had to go to a wedding on HALLOWEEN.
(yes, I realize the irony of comparing a wedding to a funeral.. haha)

Halloween is on a Tuesday this year, right?
The whole idea of video conferencing for those ceremonies sound like a nice idea, but I feel like if it caught on hardly anybody would actually attend.

That would be so much more convenient. Especially for long-distance family members!
I don't think some people realize that a lot of people don't like weddings, in general. Or at least most people I know. Couples should do their own thing, but keep in mind that other people might want to do their own thing, too... it's kind of self-centered to schedule a wedding around a holiday or a popular sporting season.

A good friend lives in Berlin and has missed a few life events because of it. It's become common for her family and friends to just face time her in on a laptop for events. They straight up left a laptop open in the back of a church for a mutual friend's wedding.
i love sports, but i find it hilarious that people think it's inconsiderate to not schedule a wedding around them lol
I agree. But it is inconsiderate in instances where sports are treated as religion. That's only a few fan bases in a few sports. But You shouldn't probably have a wedding on Super Bowl Sunday. If the groom and his groomsmen are graduates and fans of powerhouse football school x, the best that can come out of that is a tv showing the game at the reception.
I think there need to be more drive-thru funeral homes. You can post up, pay your respects and get on with shit.
I want a Halloween wedding. Costumes and everything. Let's get weird.
This is an idea I could get behind. What would be your wedding costume? Would the wedding party have a theme or would it be a free for all? I feel there is a ton of directions people could go with theirs.

i agree sure if it's a florida gators family then don't do it one gameday i guess? maybe? or just get married on a friday
super bowl is basically a national holiday and who gets married on a sunday, if they do that they aren't partiers
edit: there's just something funny about treating a fast food drive through the same way as a funeral. yea we'll stop by quick and see what's going on

I loved the one NYE wedding I went to. All my friends were there, we had a nice meal, got really drunk, and basically did exactly what we would have done that night otherwise but without all the amateurs and someone else paid.
I've learned over the years that Inforoo just hates weddings because you're all monsters.
i personally enjoy weddings, especially when it's a friends. in oct i have two friends getting married and they're taking a huge boat on the river for a couple hours and it's open bar all night. it's gonna be a blast

Oh man. Off the top of my head, I'd like to do Bob's Burgers, but I'm not sure if we would be Tina & Jimmy Jr. or Bob & Linda.
I also think it'd be cool if we were Link & Zelda. Because we nerdy.

This is exactly why I want a Halloween wedding. We all would be partying together anyway, let's just bump it up a level.

That decision comes down to the groom's dance skills. Passionate, emotive dancer? Jimmy Jr. Otherwise... Bob.

I had always heard of cash bar weddings, but I've never been to one. Every wedding of the scores I've been to had open bars except when my amish-Mormon cousin got married. The older timers still brought bottles but it was self-serve. And then up north, and I'm not sure how you guys do it in MN, but particularly the big cities, they often do the damn sit down dinners at the old hotels. I have only been to one sit down wedding, and it was down here. So it was basically just a bad ass 5 course meal with all you could drink. That was an anomaly from the banquet styled dinner service. I'd rather 1000 times over have hors d'oeuvres passed around with strategically placed food stations for people to get what they want when they want. When my buddy moved down here from VA and had experienced enough Southern weddings, he told his fiancé's mother there was no way they were doing a sit-down. She wasn't happy about it because that's not the way the money up that way in VA does things. But once she experienced it, she was pretty happy about it.
As for Halloween weddings, they have those down here all the time - sometimes in cemeteries. Brides are often dressed in black . Seems kind of anti-sacramentalist but I'm sure those who get married on Halloween don't really care about that anyway.

Guys i have a dilemma should I go to my best friend from college's wedding (i am in the wedding party) or should i go see Tame Impala for the fourth time? very rude of him to schedule his wedding during a concert, he knows i love all music so he should not have scheduled his wedding during any concert.

most of the weddings i go to here are sit down weddings for dinner and what not (variety of locations). most weddings are also like open keg beer all night not open booze all night
I kind of expected Minneapolis (assuming that's sort of where you are) did things that way because of the other big Great Lake cities that do it that way (Chicago, etc.) and also up in NYC. Booze is obviously the one thing that's different here than anywhere, so it's kind of mandatory that it's available unless it's a Southern Baptist or evangelical wedding. No one in my family are either of those.
I think the difference between the sit down dinner receptions and food stations is that people mingle in a far less formal kind of way. There isn't usually assigned seating, so you don't have that hassle. Bride and Grooms family will generally have "Reserved" tables, but the rest is for whoever wants it. And again, you can eat non stop on what you want to eat be they steamship roast carving stations, seafood stations, cheese/crackers or whatever other things they're doing.
I ended up talking to the bride-to-be and I am taking them out to eat before the wedding to make up for it. She ended up being nice about it and even admitted to scheduling it on an off-weekend of her own favorite team. I love when people are willing to compromise. She will make a good wife.

Pretty much.
But I do have a favorite wedding I was in. My cousin and his ex were married by Howard Finster at Paradise Garden. It was Finster's last ceremony before his death and he was not all that interested in a traditional exchange of vows. It was more like a hour long sermon on topics like true love, Satan's corrupting influence, Red China, and Bill Clinton's sex life. Which all the youngsters in the wedding found hilarious. Our older family members were confused by a Baptist preacher that cursed and talked frankly about sex during his preaching.
After it was over Finster tried to give my cousin his Bible. Which he thankfully didn't take but it would have been awesome to look through. It was wore out and absolutely filled with personal notes, etc.
For those that don't know, he was a folk artist and had turned a couple acres around his Georgia studio into a weird art collection of sculptures and found art displays. He'd probably be most recognized on Inforoo for the albums covers for Talking Heads' Fierce Creatures and REM's Reckoning.

At the comic book thing I went to with the boys, there was a guy dressed up as Louise dressed up as Ryan Gosling in Drive. I probably would have married him on the spot if he had asked.
I agree about weddings during football season. It shouldn't be done. During my wedding I know all of my brother in laws were checking the score of the Clemson-BC game. I think we lost in OT. Damn you Matt Ryan!
Catching up: No Halloween wedding, that is my birthday bitches although like esteban has said it is very common here. I find that southern weddings are more of throw-downs than northern weddings. Shit like sitting down and being served is not common here, it is more buffet style and people eat whenever.
The funniest wedding I went to was in Pennsylvania, it was for my cousin. It was one of those weird sit down, get served dinners, but before that happened, for the announcement they came in to boxing music and was announcing in that style. Example: And over in this corner, for the first time ever, announcing Misterrrrrr and Mrsssss. Sandauuuuuuuuuu. Let's get ready to rumble.
And then there was food, dancing and serious weirdness. Yay family!

hahaha yes. this.
I actually want the project I worked on to become real - it was a whole funeral planning system that we came up with. basically 'the knot' for funerals. with people that could plan the whole funeral for you, ways to customize your funeral (want to have a taco themed funeral where someone dramatically reads your middle school diary? done.), and resources to help people figure out how to deal with the post-funeral stuff like shutting down bank accounts and clearing out homes. drive thru funerals would be a great addition.
The only "sit down dinner" wedding I went to was a friend of mine in NYC. I normally hate sit down dinners at weddings but this one was dope, they had a fantastic band and inbetween courses the band would start playing and everyone would stand up and get down. Then you'd return to the table when the next dish came.
But generally I think a wedding reception should be controlled chaos. There should be food everywhere and either a band playing R&B/soul or a DJ playing the fucking hits. The only events should be the first dance/father daughter dance/mother son dance (if you insist, i think its weird), and the bride/groom departing. No other entertainment is necessary.
Also I skipped the Phish Charleston 2010 run to go to a friend of mine's wedding because I'm such a swell guy.
