I know this marriage thing is new to my gay friends, but please....

[FLPanhandle]

Rule #1...DON'T SCHEDULE YOUR MARRIAGE DURING FOOTBALL SATURDAYS!

Oh well, you'll learn. Good luck Jose and Nick (even if you are making me miss my game today).

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

1. Or Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays.

Get a clue, gay friends!

[Ben Gay]

6. ESPECIALLY Sundays! heehee

All my gay friends are NFL fans (and of course Formula One in season) ;-)

[Brickbat]

2. Recced for the funny!

Sorry, I tried.

[FLPanhandle]

5. Thanks.

However, I know there is a segment here with no sense of humor and/or over-sensitive, or maybe they don't like college football. :)

[pipi_k]

12. Don't care for college football but I do...

get the whole football thing.

My family all know...do NOT plan an event on a Sunday if you expect my presence. Don't visit, don't call (well, not during my team's game, anyway...hee hee).

:7

3. Marriage is about the loving couple, not you

Get over yourself

[GOPBasher]

7. I'm pretty sure this was a joke.

I'm pretty sure the original poster doesn't ACTUALLY think that two people should schedule their wedding around his football viewing schedule. There are four letters here: J-O-K-E.

[taterguy]

8. Is there a sarcasm smiley in the OP?

I think not

[FLPanhandle]

10. I thought it was obvious.

Oh well, some people...

[Rabblevox]

15. Yes, the sarcasm was obvious and your intent clear. Like you said...some people. /nt

[Rabblevox]

17. Only the truly sarcasm-impaired would need the visual clue here, it was actually both a sweet...

and funny post.

[jberryhill]

18. Well, "think not, laugh not", I always say..

[GOPBasher]

19. I'm sarcastic all the time, and I never use the smiley, b/c it kills the funny.

Saying, "I'm being sarcastic" really kills the humor. It's not funny anymore after that.

[pipi_k]

20. Yeah, in some cases it's like

saying, "Hey...you wanna hear a joke?"

It kills the moment.


I hate when people do that. Then I feel like I'm obligated to laugh even if it wasn't funny.

I like when people spring jokes on me without warning.

[etherealtruth]

22. Some things are so obvious ... there doesn't need to be

[donheld]

26. Are you series? This is Hugh.

[Ben Gay]

9. Yikes...next time I'm having a party that's too much fun

I'll invite you.

[DataException]

11. You're kidding... right?!

n/t

[JanMichael]

16. are you stressed out or something? The OP was just making

a joke.

Clearly, he's happy for the couple, and was just teasing.

[Zorra]

27. OK, you know the drill.. now-- breathe, .breathe, thaaat's it! Now- back slowly away from

the coffee machine. Slowly...Good! that's good.

Now - Give...me..the cup.

[Rabblevox]

4. As a gay man I say no....what you don't do is schedule your wedding to conflict with a new episode..

of Glee.

Yes I know I'm reinforcing stereotypes (or am I being iconoclastic and breaking the new stereotype that most gay men love sports?).

But I'm really just playing. Best wishes to Jose and Nick, and the fact that gay marriages are happening gives this old queer a lot of hope.

[FLPanhandle]

13. Keep that hope going

The happy couple are both almost 50.

I'll be sure to tease them about Glee tonight though. :)

[pinto]

14. LOL. Best of luck to the couple and have fun FLPanhandle.

DIVO - or whatever the function is called - the games for later. :hi:

[Fire Walk With Me]

21. Insensitive ;) Contrats to everyone!

:hi:

[Initech]

23. Just don't schedule weddings during football season period!

:toast:

[etherealtruth]

24. Best wishes Jose and Nick

BTW: Football sucks ... had you invited me I'd be missing nothing ;-)

[kdmorris]

25. Record the game... go have fun... then you get to do both :)

and congratulations and best wishes to the happy couple!

[Xithras]

28. Trust me, straight people can be stupid on this too.

A dumbass old friend of mine scheduled his evening wedding to overlap Game 3 of last years World Series. Being Giants fans, and living where I do, that just wasn't going to work.

About 20 of his guests cancelled because of the conflict. Of those who attended (about 80), most of us spent half the reception huddled over our smartphones following the game...including the FATHER OF THE BRIDE. The best man even made a crack about it during his toast, asking for the attention "of those here for the wedding." Those here to "watch the game" were invited to continue on about their buisiness...and were asked to keep him updated if anyone scored.

The bride was NOT amused. Or happy.

Scheduling a wedding to conflict with a major cultural event is just asking for trouble.
