The game isn't played on the same date every year. Next year their anniversary will be on a Monday (2016 is a leap year). The next time their anniversary will be on a Sat is 2020 (I think).

I've heard of some people going on a trip the weekend of the week of their anniversary, that could jam a person up from going to a game. Unless the plan is to celebrate at the game, that's a great plan.

We actually forced my sister to change her wedding date....well, forced may be a strong word. It was originally scheduled for the Tennessee Florida game date and she looks at me and said: "I'm going to have a bunch of mad, drunk people at my wedding aren't I? I looked at her and said: "Yep!" She changed the date shortly thereafter.

Only non-southerners. You can never tell whose schedule synchs up here.

That's why you get married in the other three seasons. Anything else is disrespectful to your guests.

Full disclosure, I'll be at a wedding in Germany on the 26th.

Hoping for a night game, so my brother and I can polish off the night with some Red Bull cocktails, prepping for a midnight kickoff from Timmensdorferstrand!

Never get married during football season..I thought that was like age old wisdom passed down from one generation to the next.

I have a huge UGA fan friend (that's my first mistake) getting married on this year's FL game. It's a bye week for UGA. I'm planning on having explosive diarrhea.

I'm actually getting married downtown Knox on the BGSU game...pretty bummed that my ceremony starts at 4, but it was planned way before they announced kickoff times. And with the venue we wanted, downtown on a home game would be a nightmare anyways, so I guess it worked out. Going to be the first season opener I've missed in about a decade...not happy about it. But hey...at least it's not the Florida game.

Those type of marriages never work out in the end. Break it off now while you still have your shirt.:)

It could jam it up or they always build their anniversary around a game. :rock:

Well fellas, last year we got a HUGE commit in Shy Tuttle on my birthday, and this year we are going to end the 10 year streak against Florida on my birthday (Sept 26). Have to say that is 2 damn fine birthday presents if you ask me!

edit: Also, I had a cousin get married on UT/Florida game day in 2010. We rarely talk anymore. :cray:

This whole story pisses me off. It's obviously just an attention whore publicity stunt. No real fans would schedule their wedding on a game day much less a Florida game day when we've lost 10 straight. This marriage is doomed.

I attended a wedding for a workmate on the 3rd Saturday in October, 1984. I had tickets to the Bama game at Neyland Stadium.

Missed this: https://youtu.be/B2966wIxmnA
Johnny Jones scores a touchdown with 2:09 remaining in the 4th quarter to pull within 1 point, UT 26 - AL 27
Decision made to go for 2 (no overtime in those days)
Tony Robinson keeps for the go-ahead and victory touchdown.
Listened to the game (Bama network, yuk) on a transistor radio with a single ear bud.

About a year later, (let's just hypothetically call him Steve Kawalski, because that was his name) got divorced. I was pissed. Almosted asked for my gift back (but that would be tacky).

I said to myself "Never again". 2014 UT/UF game, I blew off a wedding. A dear cousin of mine's daughter (Vandy people) got married in Nashville. Hope they stay married.

I did. 2003 we won. Was watching the game downstairs at the church before the ceremony with the whole wedding party. A lot of people came in at the last moment.

You just simply DO NOT get married during football season, period. ( Well, maybe on a Bye week). No self respecting southerner would do that or eat instant grits! And if you schedule your wedding on a game day with a big SEC foe, you damn well better not run around whining when attendance is bordering on single digits.

On a whim my wife and I got married on Friday November 13th at Reverend Green's wedding chapel in Clarksville, TN. It was only later that we realized we got married on Friday the 13th. We then drove to Memphis (for the honeymoon) and watched TN beat Memphis State in the Liberty Bowl stadium. I know Memphis for a Honeymoon? We were poor seniors in college and could not afford much else.

That's why I got married in April. Anyone who gets married during football season, especially Vol fans should be tarred and feathered

Sometimes it just can't be avoided no matter how hard you try. My wife and I will celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary on October 12, 2015. That day, 30 years ago, was a Tennessee-Florida football game day. The game was in Gainesville.

The wedding was difficult to plan because my fiance at the time wanted to get married on August 31 which was the opening game at Neyland. I said no to that. That game was during a period of time where I would go over 25 years without missing a home game. The only time available where we could get married and get back from the honeymoon and not miss a game at Neyland was Florida game day. Because the game was in the afternoon, the wedding was scheduled for the evening. As it turned out, the minister was a Clempson grad (wedding in upstate S.C.) and would not conduct the ceremony until after that game. In addition, my wife-to-be was a uscjr grad (back then I referred to them as South Carolina which was before they became an SEC member) and their homecoming was in the evening. She was perturbed that football schedules were paying such a prominent part of the wedding schedule and decided the evening wedding time was best. We did not have some of her friends attend the wedding because they went to the uscjr homecoming game.

By the way, that was the Sugar Vols year. We won't talk about the outcome of the Oct 12 game, it is the outcome of the Sugar Bowl game against Miami that mattered.

Personally I think that he is a true vol fan and she wasn't a fan of Tennessee but knew of us because of her husband . She knew Tennessee played football in the fall but had no clue we played Florida then . Her step family probably told them a few wasn't coming to it and now her special day is ruined because of it . The bride usually always wants things perfect so she sent a message to finebaum to try to get the date changed

I'm 99% sure this whole thing is for media attention. You plan your wedding in FL the same day as the UF game? So you are going to be in FL, but the ceremony will (un)conveniently be during the game? Not buying it. Also, the fact that they wrote into the Finebaum show about the whole thing.

Do you know when kickoff is for this game? Nope. Hasn't been announced. Don't know yet if there's a conflict. It's a funny story. Nobody is going to get rich. Lighten up Francis....

This^^^^

Bridezillas don't care about TN football. It's about them. I took a transistor radio with ear buds to my cousin's wedding in 1983. TN vs Pitt. We lost 13-3. My sister got married during 1987 Georgia Tech game. We won. I ran back and forth to my vehicle to get updates on the game.

Neither marriage worked out. :huh:

I take it stride as I get older, but TN football is always considered when anything is planned in our family.
