First law of weddings and football

That is, as has been noted before, don't schedule weddings on football Saturdays! There's another 40 weekends you could use over the rest of the year, so this ought to be an easy law to adhere to. For my own wedding, we not only avoided any ND weekends, we even managed to schedule it for the bye weekend between the conference championships and the Super Bowl in January (although, given the outcome of the Super Bowl this year, my Chicago-native spouse maybe would rather not have had that next weekend free to watch the game). For my best friend (a Domer, like me), a June wedding this year nicely avoided having any guests (not to mention the bride herself) have to sneak away during the reception to catch snippets from a game. Nonetheless, my other closest friend (this one from law school, not college, and so not necessarily attuned to the fixed appointments that are Saturday gametimes) has scheduled her wedding for this weekend. While I'm thrilled for her and am looking forward to a fun and full weekend, I'm aggrieved at this blatant disregard for the football fans in the congregation. Who's this day all about, anyway?? :)
