OT: My Michigan Wedding in Ohio
I figured I'd interupt your football Saturday (but not your drinking), just for a moment, and share with you a few highlights from my wife and I's MgoWedding two days ago.
But first, a little backstory: Almost everything in our relationship, since the beginning, has revolved around Michigan sports. Our first real date was the Michigan/OSU game in 2013 (ouch, I know). We've attended tons of Michigan basketball, football, and hockey games. I even proposed in Madison after the game this season. So, it only seemed fitting that we'd have a Michigan themed wedding as well.
We dont beleive in spending thousands of dollars on a fancy, traditional wedding, so we decided to tie the knot in a small, free chapel with close family and friends. What made it special though, were our vows:
ME: "Mariah, I promise to love you almost as much as the Wolverines. From this day forward, I promise not to get annoyed over your hovering and being a helicopter mom, and promise to always wear my seatbelt. I will love you in sickness and in health, from this day forward, until death do us part, or you become an Ohio State fan."
HER: "Seth, I promise to love you as much as you love the Wolverines. From this day forward, I promise to lay off the hovering, if you promise to not do that annoying "frustrated rummage" thing you do when you're looking for something. I promise to be there with you for every game, wearing maize and blue [...]"
Other Highlights:
This all went down with our entire family in Michigan jerseys.
It was done in 10 degree weather, so it went quickly.
Annnnnndd I guaranteed my football Saturdays until the end of time:
"Mariah, do you take Seth to be your husband? Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, and leave Saturdays for football?"
Her Response: Go Blue!

A dude I work with has saved 17 grand so far for his wedding. Absolutely insane.

So that's why there was a micro condom in the trash.

So you're telling me that no one on the staff crossed out the M in your wife's name?

Maybe we can have a Michigan themed divorce if it goes that route.

I'd let her take EL off my hands as well

marrying a michigan fan, well, has to be twice as much, right?
i just hope you are fishing, hunting, skiing, etc on the honeymoon.
December 30th, 2017 at 4:35 PM ^
Sad to say I won't be doing much outdoorsman activity during our honeymoon. She's already a "widow" for much of the fall and spring with me being out hunting and fishing so much
December 30th, 2017 at 5:20 PM ^
in case that wasn't clear. mrs XM and i had a blast on our honeymoon and those were some of the activities on the agenda. i highly recommend them if you can somehow fit it all in. regardless, congrats. marriage is wonderful, though of course not every day will be ginger bread houses and candy cane men.

seems like only yesterday you announced your engagement and I made an avatar-related "shotgun wedding" joke. Time flies.
