Couple Changes Wedding Plans for Football Game

Wedding Plans for High School Football Game

After reading this article I can attest that, especially in the South, you have to carefully select your wedding date around football season!

"In the world of college football, it's almost required that brides-to-be consult the game schedule before setting a date. Parents will boycott the nuptials of their own children if the big day falls on the same day as a match. In Norman, Okla., it's a running joke that no one will show up at your wedding if it's on a University of Oklahoma game day. At Clemson University in South Carolina, brides eagerly await the release of the school's football schedule because only after games are announced can the university open up its conference center for weddings. Ceremonies and receptions can only happen when the team is out of town, because on game day the area is overrun by Tiger fans..."

I went to a wedding in Tennessee and the Vols were playing on the same day. The couple’s parents had the game playing on a large screen projector behind the dance floor. The first dance was in the way of all of the spectators watching the game. The bride came up to me and said that all she wanted was for her guest to have fun, so I recommended that they turn off the game and turn up the music. Now days with technology, football fans can keep up with the game without having to necessarily watch it.

Rather than running into this problem, be sure to check the football schedule before you decide to say “I do!”

Dance Lessons for the big day?

If any of you watch The Wedding episode of The Office a few weeks ago, you saw how popular dancing at a wedding has become. However, it seems that it is dancing during the CEREMONY that has become popular, not dancing at the reception. The spoof of dancing at the ceremony on The Office was actually taken from the YouTube video that hit the internet earlier this year. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-94JhLEiN0)

I think it's actually a pretty cool idea and would let you set the tone for the wedding ceremony and reception. You could personalize the dance to fit the personality of you and your hubby to be by picking a song and style of dance. It doesn't have to be modern dance; it can be a waltz, the cha cha or even a little salsa dancing. Doesn't that sound fun?

What if you, your man or another member of the bridal party has two left feet? You can always take dance lessons if you are self-conscious, or fake the dance if you aren't. It's your wedding day and nobody is going to judge your dancing abilities. If you watch the video, those guys/girls wouldn't win So You Think You Can Dance, but they were having fun and that is what matters.

Have fun with it! This is just another way to make your wedding special and unique!
