How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

How many thouht...

What if the date she wants falls during the
-NFL Playoffs or Superbowl
-Baseball Playoffs or World Series
-NHL Playoffs or Stanley Cup
-NBA Playoffs or Championship


I did. I knew she liked the late spring / early summer but I had the "what ifs"

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

Well I am not a groom but my wedding was strategically planned to take place 2 weekends after the Superbowl.

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

i never thought about it now you got me thinking

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

We did...but I have to say we picked a PERFECT date. And it looks like you both did too. That's the best date in the entire calendar!!

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

I didnt because she was set on a December wedding so I was lucky.

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

I actually didn't think about that, but now that you brought it to my attention, I am glad my date does not clash with anything major.

We picked our date more due to work/school schedules.

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

OMG....my SIL is dating a sports fanatic and I'm so glad DH isn't one of them. He has a healthy relationship with sports. I don't think I could handle it.

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

not a groom- but fh told me dates it could not be because of world cup soccer this year... BUT turns out that our wedding falls right in the middle of playoffs or something...BUT it shouldnt be a problem since his country (ecuador) most likely will not be getting thata far...these are his words...not mine

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

just had to add...

I think I'm a bigger Yankee fan than my FH, but we both LOVE them So we wanted a Fall wedding, but waited for NOVEMBER when the Yanks will have already WON the World Series.

Plus, he'll be surprised by the Yankee garter and his Yankee "Birthday" Groomscake!

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

Not a groom, but my wedding is strategically planned so we will get married, go on our honeymoon, and get back BEFORE the world series begins!!!!!!

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

I'm not a sports fan but we did have to be careful of other dates. Our wedding is a mixed religion and we had to be careful not to pick a day that interfered with any other holidays.

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

no offense or anything but where are ur priorities??!!!!?? ur woman or a game??? well - just an idea - my cousins wedding fell on the last game of the subway series and all my uncles & most of the men were given little earpiece radios that they could where which was VERY cool & everyone got a kick out of it....so if the big day DOES fall on a sport date, it's a cool little touch & shows your definetly taking care of your guests..... on the other hand, I wouldn't voice your aggravations on this to ur FW.... I'm all into sports & know my guys a fanatic, but i know it would REALLY hurt my feelings to think that a football game is coming before me.

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

I didn't have a problem picking a day around sports, but I had other issues. We picked March, then we ran into a few problems. We had to work around the first week of March, when everyone from my job will be in Vegas. Then we had to throw out the last week because my friends, including my best man, either won't be around, or be forced to skip something important to them. We finally settled on a friday night in mid March. Then we ran into another problem. Friday night in March, it's Lent, so more than a few of our guest wouldn't be able to enjoy thier meal fully. So we scrapped the month of March compleatly, and moved it to May. I am a huge sports fan, but that never came into my thought process. I guess the only thing I would run up against would be if the Rangers ran deep into the playoffs next year. Even if that happens, to me it's not that big of a deal. Even if they get to the Finals, I should be back from the honeymoon in time.

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

Hey guys... does Novermer 17 fall on any major sports event day? i think my fiance might have overlooked this... good point though.

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

Had to laugh at this post and had to respond My FH was concerned about hunting season

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

I am not looking foward to this argument when we really pick a date (the one on my thing is my make believe while i look around for ideas and wiat for the ring hehe) but being huge sports fan, whatever i'll miss but would hate to be away while themets are in the world series or the jets in the playoffs...but he doesn't want to miss anything...cna't wait to sit down and have to decide

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

Did not realy have any UN ohs but our date did fall on the best man's fundriser and the Bayport fire dept .Its going to be fun try to find the best man which is my brother because he is a member of that dept which we will be going between the church and the repection.

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

One of the dates we were considering was April 7... That was before we found out that April 6 was Good Friday, and April 8 was Easter. I am not the worlds most devout Catholic, but out of respect to my Italian family... We are now March 31.

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

date twin!! ugh, picking dates~ i'm not a groom but fh had issues about picking a date before his parents left the country because they don't want to fly back to the US afterwards and they don't want to postpone flying out either even tho i'd be studying like mad for the bar exam

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

Oh, I'm glad I'm not the only one! Only, I have to say as the to be, I totally understand and I'd never think of setting the date during any major game!

....As we speak Lance is dancing around the room in his underwear, yelling, as he watches the Yanks.....

He only wishes he could make a rule that No one's wedding (in the whole world) could ever be on a Sunday during football season! (Just in case we get invited)
I've mentioned the whole thats-what-TIVO-is-for thannng, but I was kindly informed of why TIVO is not accceptable- Oh boy!!

Well, I have a life time of this enthusiasm and excitement to look forward to!

Pic: Lance getting way excited during a Dolphin game- runs and jumps- and flips onto his head- imitating a move he just saw in the game.... heehee

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

Yeah, we went with labor day weekend. I was thinking, well, it'll be september baseball, but not playoff baseball. One guy who's like a brother to me picked Columbus Day weekend, and I'm not really sure what the hell he was thinking.

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

I'm getting married 1st week of March where not much is doing except for early stages of March Madness

Re: How Many had the "uh-ohs" when picking a date

OH boy! If FH mentioned that to me... he'd never hear the end of it. He actually did jokingly! I told him... sorry not that night!
