I cringe to say it's a Southern truth because really, this may just apply to the vast majority of college football fans. But Southern zeal for the game is rarely matched as evidenced by this story.
There's a short video below (2:13 in length) about the lengths two friends went to catch the entirety of an Alabama football game, thereby delaying by an hour their arrival at one of their weddings. Predictable fallout: relatives who won't speak to them, a divorce years later. Less predictable fallout: "I'd do it again".
Honestly, this video is instructive. Chances are you won't agree with what the two men did, but the lesson is not to schedule fall weddings. Ever.
Ever ever ever.
Ever ever.
...
Ever.

I was the best man at my brother's wedding and he scheduled it on a Gator football Saturday. We were all at this swanky private club for the reception. I was in the kitchen listening to the game on the radio and missed making the "Best Man Toast".
I was haranged for over 10 years, on their anniversary, like I had voted for Bush. Thankfully, they got divorced and it is all big joke now. My brother is getting re-married and two things have happened: 1- I am not the best man, and , 2- They are not getting married on a Gator football Saturday.
By the way, the Gators beat Mississippi State that Saturday. Emmitt Smith tore them up.
