My wife's cousin scheduled their wedding for Saturday night at 5 PM. This is obviously (fart noise).
Is it acceptable to find a place where I can kind of sit incognito with an earbud in my ear while listening to the game? I'm willing to take a bluetooth headset and pretend I'm one of "those guys" and hook it into my smart phone.
Just looking for a little advice here. We'll be sans kids during the reception, so I'm looking for ways to sneak out and watch the game on my phone, so any thoughts there would be helpful.
TIA
-
If you aren't in the wedding party, it will be no big deal. Just keep the fist pumping to inside your head and no one will even notice.
-
Dvr and turn phone off?
-
Pretend to get really really drunk. Your wife will make you go to the car until she's ready to go. Profit.
-
say you have diarrhea
-
Dvr and turn phone off?
Unacceptable. This kind of game requires undivided attention.
Unless we're losing by two TD's in the first, then a periodic glance after drinking a few cold brewskies will be acceptable (because the pain will have been numbed by alcohol).
-
DVR and skip reception due to kids at home puking, imho.
-
dont go
-
say you have diarrhea
Should I add "explosive", or would that be taking it too far?

I wouldn't sneak anywhere. "Congratulations, here is your gift <hand envelope with money>, I will be at the bar across the street watching the KSU Cats play. You scheduled your wedding on the same day as the biggest game in 9 years, and I can't miss it. I'll come back at halftime for the Cotton-Eyed Joe or the dollar dance. Good luck!"

no, sounds fake. nobody ever says that about real diarrhea.
-
Dvr and turn phone off?
this is my preferred if you can trust/manipulate/forewarn the people you're around that they will die if any info leaks
-
Sneak away and find a television . . . you aren't an integeral part of the wedding, who is going to miss you?
That's right . . . no one that's who.
-
I will be DVR'ing regardless because, I mean, Gus.
-

expecially since you have diarrhea

Exactly . . . and I spelled integral wrong.

I was married on a KSU bye week. NU played a big game that w/e. One of my buddies is an NU fan. He said, "Sorry, I'll be in Lincoln on that day." I was cool with that.
-
Fake your death and come back on Sunday.
-
It's their fault, say eff them and do what you want. I was a groomsman last year during the Ok St. game and left to watch the game and came back afterward. Some people thought I was a dick, but I'd do it again.

This. The money is all they care about.
-
relax and enjoy the wedding, we will be winning by 4 touchdowns at that point
-
As a married person, I would say that if someone ditched out of my wedding for whatever reason, I probably wouldn't have even noticed.
-
Someone who posts on this board may of been married during Clemente/Pullen KU game in Bram. I went with earpiece/radio. To be fair to him, he also glanced over from the altar to get score updates from me.
-
Get diarrhea for real. Infect yourself with smallpox. Break your leg. How far are you willing to go with this? :barf:
-
They seriously won't miss u.
-
Would you crap in your own pants during the wedding to get out? I would.

"wife's cousin"?
There is doubt on what you should do?
I mean, if it was "wife's brother/sister or your own brother/sister", then maybe there would be an etiquette question (maybe), but with this distance in relationship I really don't see how there is any debate here.
-
They seriously won't miss u.
Oh, no, I'm aware of that. I think I've spoken to the bride once.
However, my wife is looking forward to the reception as we'll be sans kids with booze. While I'd like to sneak away, it's going to be hard because she's going to want to "dance" and "socialize" and lame stuff like that.
-
Wife's cousin? 0% chance she cares. Shake as many hands as possible so people remember seeing you there, just in case, then duck out and watch the game.
Or you could take oscar's approach. He is set for the future since nobody dare invites him to events during KSU games because he just shits himself

Nailed it. I'm not sure what we're even talking about here. I have as much business being at her wedding as Panj does.
Is there free booze?

Its not like a round of golf or anything...

Oh. Perhaps ignore my previous comments, this sort of changes things.
It seems this really isn't about a wedding, its about a date with your wife.

Exactly.
-
Also surprised no one suggested killing your wife's cousin.
-
Key question here; are there going to be other K-State fans at the wedding and does your wife like them?

Boozed up wife with no kids. :fatty: :drink: :dance:

I can relate a bit; I'm in a wedding the day of the Iowa State game. The groom is a sorta poster/lurker here. In all likely hood I will miss at least part of the game. I suppose if there is any acceptable date to do it on (besides a bye), it is a road game at Iowa State.

What would Buddy Garrity do?

Is the wife not a FB fan? I mean, a great date night to me would be to get boozed up for free really quickly, then bail and go to a bar together to finish the game.

Wife's best friend got married on the mizzou game of Snyder's first retirement. I sold my tickets - as my wife was 7 months pregnant and I had to go. Last minute, they asked me to video tape their wedding... I'm not a videographer, so I wasn't going to be able to do a great job anyway - so it was no big deal that during quiet times of the ceremony, you can hear stan webber on their wedding tape through my ear-bud. Groom & groomsman were all KSU fans, so I think they thought it was pretty bad ass.
FWIW - If I were you, I would totally and openly listen and/or watch the game during the wedding. If they'd had smart phones with streaming video at the time of my wife's friends wedding, you sure as hell better believe I would have been watching it that day.
-
On a related note....
Good friend is getting married on Dec 22nd, same day and time as the Florida game at the sprint center. He tried to convince his fiance to set up a TV in another room at the reception so we could watch the game, she nixed that idea since everyone would be in there watching the game and no one would be dancing.
I plan on watching the entire game on my phone.
Obviously this is a bigger game, if it werent for the whole wife wanting to socialize thing I would peace out ASAP after the wedding. Hopefully there is a bar close to the reception and you can go and shake hands during halftime.
-
Is your wife in the wedding party?
If not, then you guys get dressed up, go to the wedding a few minutes early, and make sure that the bride and groom see you. Peek your heads in and say hi, congrats, etc. Then rough ridin' bail. They won't remember that you weren't there for the ceremony.
Take your wife out to dinner and make it back home in time for kickoff.
-
Your best option is divorce before Saturday. Would also limit future emaw conflicts.
-
Cousin's wedding Saturday at 7. Cousin is marrying a sooner. Obviously a diehard OU football fan.
I can watch a justin.tv feed on the iphone, yes?
-
Who cares. Even w/out meeting said matrimonial couple, I give it 2 years, tops. Blantantly listen to pre-game throughout wedding, tell your wife "Don't start!" when she gives you the look, find a TV around 6:30, EMAW your ASS off until final whistle. Weddings are for pussies.
-
Wedding is at 5pm, shouldn't last more than an hour right? Unless it's old school Catholic.
That should leave you 30-45 minutes to mingle at the wedding and dip out. People won't even remember you left.
-

Nope, flip phone only.
-
I moved my wedding last year to a Friday to avoid missing the Tech game
:gocho:
Had my wife not agreed, we wouldn't have gotten married that weekend

I got married in the dead of winter, because everyone in both families is on an academic calendar so everyone was off work. Snow and picturesque and what not.

this wedding isn't happening at a stone church in the middle of nowhere near St. Mary's is it? :peek:

LOL, yeah, the wedding is ancillary to my other plans for the day, if I make it past on the way back from KSU, so be it.

1. Set game to record on DVR.
2. Sneak furtive glances at the score on your iPhone during the ceremony.
3. Mutter Jesus F'Ing Christ (not too loud) when you see the score is 24-3 OU with 3:13 to play in Q1.
4. Enjoy the wedding reception.
5. Delete game from DVR as quickly as possible when you get home.

2. Move back in with mom and dad.
3. Yell at mom from basement to make some waffles before kickoff.
4. Enjoy game from elite 70" 1080HD LED 3D parents TV.
5. Drink dad's beer during game.
6. Enjoy wildcat victory.

Yes, it was a tough decision, but after many years of wedlock, I had to let go of michigancats mom.

Good feedback in this thread.
Wife doesn't care for sports. Refers to football uniforms as costumes. Generally hates football because I'm so obsessed with it, but has warmed up to it after the birth of two sons (who will undoubtedly be brainwashed Cats fans).
Confirmed that there is a bar down the road from the reception. Will formulate escape plan. Most likely will only go if it appears we're in the game after half. Otherwise, it's not worth telling people that I can't control my bowels.
Confirmed that there is going to be a contingent of EMAW there. We may disappear together.

non-vegas casinos are still more fun than a church and the local bingo hall.

My cousin's wedding was same day as Miami game. Have also had cousins' weddings on days of the 2011 Kent State game and 2009 Texas A&M game.
May your luck be as favorable as mine. :pray:

5 of us had plane tickets and hotel reserved for a weekend in Chicago. We had it planned for about 8 months. Friends told us they were getting married that weekend. We pitched in and got them the most expensive item on their registry and a card saying we couldn't make it because we had prior engagements. They got butt hurt and didn't talk to us for about a year. Then they got divorced and wanted to "catch up." Laughed at them and haven't seen them in person since. Take from that what you will.

Had a fraternity bro's wedding the day of the Miami game. Dlew ushered the crap outta that wedding and then watched the game from his phone in the upper deck of the ceremony. I could only steal away glances of the score.
Whole wedding party besides one poor Mizzou fan were EMAWs, which made taking pictures really distracting and inefficient. One of my favorite Cats moments was riding on a trolley of a wedding party that had cashed 42 beers, 24 smirnoff ice's, and a massive bottle of Makers Mark and finding out that the Cats had given up their goal line stand. We momentarily tried to okay ourselves with the loss due to the circumstances that the day meant a lot to the bride and groom. AND THEN MY PHONE REFRESHED TO SHOW A CATS WIN.
Proceeded to bernie into the reception hall. :dance:
