Sad Face
Well I just got done selling my Michigan vs. ohio tickets (to a couple of Michigan fans). Why!? You ask? Because my friend is getting married at 1 o'clock tomorrow. I made sure he was well aware of the game... but his soon to be wife wasn't having any of it.
So... Sad Face is me.
Edit:
I just wanted to follow up. This poor couple got hammered. Multiple friends and relatives complained about the date, far more than I think they anticipated. A quote from the frustrated bride: "I am the show. You're supposed to be watching me." The obvious message here is to not get married on an important date. You WILL regret it.
They were EXTREMELY lucky that they planned the reception at 4 o'clock. I went to an Irish pub around half time and partied it up in Hale Michigan with a bunch of other random Michigan fans, and one person from ohio. Nice people.

Something something Beat Ohio something something complete.
November 26th, 2011 at 12:38 AM ^
Get better friends.
<br>
<br>Actually I feel for you. I have to DVR the game and watch later.
November 26th, 2011 at 12:39 AM ^
This marriage is bound to fail.
<br>
<br> No friend of mine would even ask me to be in/ go to a wedding on the same day as the game. U need new friends.
November 26th, 2011 at 12:44 AM ^
Your friend needs to grow some balls. This would pretty much be a dealbreaker for me.
November 26th, 2011 at 12:45 AM ^
get married on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
I'm getting re-married .....Next June 23. My bride to be KNEW not to mess with football season. Even the honeymoon is on hold until after the 2012 season.
BEAT OHIO
There are 23 hrs and 17 minutes until the beatdown of Ohio begins
GO BLUE
November 26th, 2011 at 12:49 AM ^
You may be in for a little bit of a shock when you head to the game or turn on the tv if its in 23 hours from now...
November 26th, 2011 at 1:11 AM ^
Interleague baseball at its finest.

My brother was once asked to be a groomsman for a friend's wedding that was to take place during the UofM/OSU game one year. He politely declined.
November 26th, 2011 at 12:50 AM ^
Broke up with a girl due to a scheduling conflict with the '06 UM-OSU game. It's always a no-brainer
November 26th, 2011 at 12:48 AM ^
Getting married on the day of The Game and a holiday weekend is a dick move.
November 26th, 2011 at 12:48 AM ^
Show up on Sunday at 1, saying 'oh shit, it was on SATURDAY? Dammit'
November 26th, 2011 at 12:54 AM ^
Everybody's gotta power trip sometimes.
November 26th, 2011 at 12:58 AM ^
She better be one hell of a Epic Lean Blonde who will satisfy all sexual desires and stay in the Kitchen.
But, if we lose, it will make you seem like a saint.
November 26th, 2011 at 1:01 AM ^
I missed my bestfriend's wedding lastyear due to the game. I won't go and get married when FSU/UF plays and mess with his mojo. Asshole.
November 26th, 2011 at 1:01 AM ^
Unless you're the best man or a groomsman, going to the game and showing up at the end of the reception would have been a pretty cool move. The friend would understand, and it would be a great opportunity for him to see how tolerant the new wifey-poo is.
November 26th, 2011 at 1:04 AM ^
Time to get new friends.
November 26th, 2011 at 1:11 AM ^
your life sucks
November 26th, 2011 at 1:11 AM ^
The only acceptable reson to get married on the day of The Game is if you do it at half tim on the 50 yard line. Nothing else.
November 26th, 2011 at 1:16 AM ^
That sucks, BEAT OHIO. I told my, BEAT OHIO, wife she has full control of , BEAT OHIO, the wedding except it, BEAT OHIO, cant be during football, BEAT OHIO, season. BEAT OHIO
November 26th, 2011 at 1:31 AM ^
And spill some red wine on the wife. Seriously, she's cold.
November 26th, 2011 at 1:32 AM ^
On a scale of 1 to 10 that's straight up evil what they did. I purposely planned my wedding last year on a bye week so i wouldnt piss off my friends
November 26th, 2011 at 1:39 AM ^
Great. Now I feel like I've made the wrong choice.
November 26th, 2011 at 1:49 AM ^
That's because you did.
November 26th, 2011 at 2:28 AM ^
did you expect the mgocommunty to have a different response? as an mgofemale, i would NEVER dare, nor want, to plan a wedding for ohio weekend/thanksgiving weekend. poor choice all around.
November 26th, 2011 at 4:06 AM ^
....has their wedding during Michigan-OSU? No offense to the bride, of course.
November 26th, 2011 at 5:16 AM ^
Beat Ohio!
November 26th, 2011 at 5:31 AM ^
sent him a fruit basket......and attach an empty sack to the outside which represents the fact his future wife now has his and will not relinguish them for the rest of his life.....I give em 2 years...3 tops....unless he enjoys wearing the dress in the family.....

Women who don't appreciate how important sports are to a man's happiness are not to be married. For all the conversations we pretend to listen to; the dumb trips to the store; the blathering about their neurotic friends, they need to understand that we are simply unavailable for a few Saturdays a year. This sets a terrible precedent.
Looks fade, but the colors maize and blue do not.
November 26th, 2011 at 6:50 AM ^
Very true. We can still go wander around J.C. Penney for 8 hours trying on the same shirt in 16 different sizes, you just have to wait until the game that is on once a week, 12 times a year, is over. And if they drop the 'It's just a game' line, use a great quote from Jimmy Fallon in 'Fever Pitch' (slightly paraphrased)
"No, it's not just a game. Clearly if it was just a game I wouldn't care about it THIS much."
November 26th, 2011 at 6:57 AM ^
'Nuff said.
November 26th, 2011 at 6:57 AM ^
pull the fire alarm. Then just say you were scared and kept running all the way to the Big House where you feel the most safe.
November 26th, 2011 at 7:00 AM ^
this year alone; but this one gets picked for the wedding? That's just wrong.
November 26th, 2011 at 7:00 AM ^
You are a better friend than I am.
November 26th, 2011 at 7:22 AM ^
of never getting to see the game because its his anniversary
November 26th, 2011 at 8:15 AM ^
Well, at least he has something to remind him that it is his anniversary.

I'm getting married in June. My fiance would never make me miss The Game...
Though perhaps the perfect venue was only available tomorrow.
...Beat Ohio
November 26th, 2011 at 9:00 AM ^
Got married last fall on the bye week. Only way to go.
November 26th, 2011 at 9:09 AM ^
His wife may be angry if you had missed the wedding, but i bet she'll be more angry when you are forced to bring a radio to the ceremony to listen to the game and accidentally forget your headphones.
November 26th, 2011 at 11:06 AM ^
and slip it into the the wedding present....
November 26th, 2011 at 11:14 AM ^
We had our wedding on a Friday and went to a UM game the next day. That's how it's supposed to work.
I hope all the guys are huddled around the bar TV the whole reception watching the night games, she would deserve that. I went to a wedding once during the Michigan v State game (at night) and the bride just about lost it because no one was dancing. Her dad summed it up best "Well, what the hell did you expect?"
