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

say you have diarrhea

Should I add "explosive", or would that be taking it too far?

no, sounds fake. nobody ever says that about real diarrhea.

Nobody ever checks on you or asks if you need anything when you say you have diarrhea...

Go to the reception, eat free food and drink free beer until 630... then leave and go to a sports bar and cheer on the cats.  :ksu: :emawkid:

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
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!"

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.

my friend is getting married day of the squak game.  pretty sure that will be 11am, so crisis averted.

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

My sources indicate this marriage has approximately 1.8% chance of survival.

As much fun as a wedding in a non-Vegas casino can be.

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.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

1. Divorce wife if cause of said potential attendance at wedding during OU weekend.
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.
