MGoTableNumbers
Hey MGoBlog,
Well, I'm getting hitched next month and since my fiancee and I are big Michigan people (we actually met because of the Shane Morris concussion fiasco, but that's a story for another time) we decided to have some fun with the wedding. Instead of traditional table numbers we're numbering all of our tables after great Michigan football players.
We're boxing up all the pictures to take to the florist so I thought I'd snap a picture and share it with you guys. There's also going to be a bio at each table about each player. Thanks to my brother and best man (you know him on here as Qmatic) for picking out the players and writing the bios!

P.S. We realized some of pictures didn't print -- most notable Desmond. This will for sure be rectified before the big day!
Congrats, but where's Taco Pants?

His picture is in the chandelier.
I assume Tacopants is seated in this photo.
This is awesome! I thought I was lucky with a Michigan Groom's cake. :)
Congrats to you both!

Not sure that the maize is right. I'd be bridezilla on that s---.
I didn't want a cake. Our catering comes with a kick ass dessert table. My dad flipped a shit and said we had to cut a cake so I delegated cake finding to him.
He sent me a few normal ones. And this one. So this one I picked. When he found out, poor guy was like "I was joking."
So it's in all white frosting to keep everyone happy that it's "bridal" enough. And my dad is secretly pleased that he raised one of three kids right.
looks like we're getting hitched on the same day. Enjoy!
Did you invite Dr. Charles Nicholls to the wedding?

Had to leave Bennie off because we couldn't find a good picture of him wearing 47 (in hindsight I could have done JMFR). Looks like they turned out well. #TheyFoundQLove

Bubba Paris,for 77
Mike kenn for 78.
I don't think you can depart without telling us how you met your wife because of the Shane Morris incident. What?
It's a pretty amazing story. Without ruining the whole thing I'll say: if it wasn't for Brady Hoke being so incompetent, this probably never would be happening

I am kind of intrigued by this story as well - hopefully, you can turn it into a diary for the summer for us, that would probably be a great read as it has the right elements, such as love in the face of something awful going on.
Congratulations!
As told in the manner of a CRex story.
It's OT season--I want to hear the story about how you met now! Sounds interesting.
This is great. Enjoy the big day!
So in 2009ish we met the first time. I was a smitten 19 year old who soon after we started dating left to study abroad in Poland. Emozilla was a 21 year old dude who was having none of the long distance bs. So after like 2 months he broke up with me. I was pissed and defriended him.
Few years later we still ran in the same groups amd he friended me again on fb. I was in another serious relationship and was just whatever. Not a big deal I'm not holding a grudge amd we have a LOT of mutual friends.
Fast forward to Shane Morris and Minnesota weekend. I posted a really long rant about how disappointed I was in the lack of regard for plater safety. I was pissed at the endangerment of a kid and laid it on a little thick. Emozilla was at the game with Qmatic and when be saw my rant went back and watched a bunch of replays. He messaged me and was like fuuuuck. And we've talked every day since.
The first few weeks was only about Hoke and Brandon and Harbaugh. But by the day of Harbaughs presser, I was again smitten and that's the day I told him I loved him.
Luckily we scored a 3rd season ticket this season so there will be no BIL vs. Wife brawl.
Cool story, and best of luck to you guys.
My cousin actually met his gf at a fire Dave Brandon rally. So I'm glad there was a silver lining for some of you.
All I got was ulcers.
We had ulcers too. Just luckily found someone to suffer (and now celebrate ) with.
So it was the Harbaugh presser that made you fully aware. Congrats to you both. Have lots of little Wolverines.
We all know the brother and law would prevail ;)

reading polska's post, whatever she might be giving away in size, she'd make up in heart. you'd have your hands full. my money is on the bride to be!
I like you.
marriage is awesome. properly done it is the most sustaining, enriching, and fun thing you can ever do. and from the stuff you two have shared here, you guys are two peas in a pod and that is a great place to start.
It's amazing that something good could come out of terrible events like Shane-gate and Branon-gate. Great to hear it! Best of luck.
Awesome! Best of luck!

Best wishes and Go Blue!
First of all, congratulations. I'm guessing boredom will never be an isuue at your home given you have a topic ripe for discussion at any given time.
I think this is a great idea, obviously unique - I've never seen anything like it and provides your guests, many of them MI fans themselves, with topics for disucssion setting right in front of them, thus minimizing the "awkward" period often present if people are meeting for the first time.
That diabolical side of me just kicked in as I, without thought, while writing why this was such a cool idea, and it is, was wondering if it would have been possible, while at that age, to ingratiate myself, significantly enough, to an OSU couple for them to allow me to help with their wedding. I was thinking how much fun it would be to purposely take OSU greats and distort their bios to things like Archie Griffin, for example, "lead the team in rushing for three years averaging 1.7 yds per carry and 33 yards per game and whom many consider the greatest player to never have won the Heisman." All is fair in the uncivil war.
But back to reality and the here and now. Sure your special day will be a blessed affair and all will have a wonderful time. And any couple with the creativity to come up with an idea like this is obviously going to enjoy a wonderful lite togethter, devising ways to keep the magic intact through the years.
GO BLUE!!!!
