Fall Weddings vs Football

Is it selfish to not want to go to a wedding in the fall during football season?  Does anyone want to go to a wedding regardless of the season?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Shout out to the great Steve Shackleford again, She's just
so good. I saw this tweet yesterday, and every once
in a while, uh, Twitter will help me out and
it'll show me something that I actually enjoyed seeing, even
though it's not somebody I follow. It's very very rare,
but it does happen. And I saw this tweet yesterday.

(01:07):
It was from a guy whose name is so con
Beefer Christina at Furman Suggs. I have no idea who
even like, Why am I getting this sweet, I don't
know who this guy is, and it said, hot take,
dudes that get upset about fall weddings because they can't
watch football are selfish and immature.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
A day later, it's got eleven million views.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
It has it's a cultural touchstone, this sort of philosophy.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
We have friends in our circle that feel the same.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Like it's like, you should not plan a wedding in
the fall because you're inconveniencing everyone with college football. Or
how did you not look ahead and see that LSU
was playing Georgia this weekend?

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Right? You know?

Speaker 2 (01:51):
How did you not pull out the football schedule and
plan your life event around Yeah, and it's usually college
football that upsets people even more than pro Most weddings
are going to be on a Saturday, not a Sunday.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
And you can't do a wedding here in the summer. No, No,
it's too hot, it's way too hot.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
So what do you what do you want? Fall is football?

Speaker 2 (02:11):
I mean a wedding season, football season, but it's also
wedding season in Texas. And I was telling you guys
just before the show, I have a buddy I was
talking to. He's thirty or thirty one. So that's the
age where a ton of your friends are getting married.
And I was just talking about we were talking about
trying to connect and he was like, yeah, I got
five weddings this fall to go to. Wow.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
I was like five. He goes, yeah, man, I mean
thirty one. It was like, God, that is that's a lot.
Because you think about it.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
I mean, really, the fall didn't start till October, right,
and even the first couple weekends of October hot. But
you're gonna have at most twelve or thirteen weekends, really
ten before it's mid December, and if half of them
are tied up with weddings, that's a beating. Yeah that sucks,
that's brutal. But when you're in that age window, it's

(03:02):
happening what you're going to do. I had this thought
about weddings. See, I hate going to weddings. I think
most people do. Most people do, right, it's an inconvenience,
but you want to go support somebody, especially if you're
close to them.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
But when you get invited and you're not very close
to him.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
I mean you're like, wait, what, yeah, why I'm not Yeah,
I don't want. I have very limited free time where
I really, you know, I don't want to have to
go put on a suit and go have small talk
with people I don't know that. Well, it's really awkward, right,
I agree? So I have this thought. I had this
thought today. You know, not a lot of people want

(03:38):
to go to weddings. Fifty percent of marriages fail, right,
at least half?

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Right?

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Bad?

Speaker 1 (03:43):
But yes, right, yeah, I like where this is going.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
What about if you commit to go to the wedding,
you get free access to the divorce proceedings?

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Ah, okay right.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
In other words, now, most people have I said, hey, listen,
your friend's divorce is being televised.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
You'd go, oh, hell yeah, I want to watch it.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, but if you were like you get to go
to court and sitting in there and watch like, oh
hell no, I'm not doing that. But if they could
watch in privacy, yeah, So what have you made it
to where it's like, look, your divorce is televised, you
can watch it privately, no one knows you're watching it.
Then you're like, you get invited to a wedding, You're like, okay,
I have insurance. If this relationship doesn't work, I get
to watch the implosion.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Okay, that's good.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
And then that brings up the question if you get
invited to someone's second wedding, right.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
That you definitely get the divorce part of that.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
I would just feel like, even like, yo, I've done this,
you know, come on, we know you. Yeah, you don't
have a good track record on this.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
I think you know. The divorce proceedings is great for me.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
I would want to look at it as like a
deposit to where if the divorce, if the wedding doesn't
work out, the marriage doesn't work out, I get some
coming back to me.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Right, you get a divorce gift?

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, because you probably you brought a wedding gift like
a breadmaker. Yeah. So I don't want any think big
like you send me a wine wreck divorce. Yeah, I'm
cool with just a Venmo deposit. My wife, we have
someone we know that's getting married, and I was like,
my wife's super frugal, and I was thinking about doing
something pretty extravagant for him. And I was like, what
are you thinking? What is the amount we'd spend on

(05:18):
a wedding gift. She goes one hundred.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Dollars, I'm like a hundred yea.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
And so I wanted to get something pretty big and
uh and I was like, well what about this? And
it was really something just for the guy. And she goes,
that's not a wedding gift. That's just a gift for him.
So is that bad?

Speaker 1 (05:37):
It depends if you know him better than the bride.
I don't barely know the bride.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Okay, Oh yeah, no, I don't think that's And did
they is it on their wedding registry or whatever you're going,
I'm going rogue?

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah. I like that.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
I mean, just you know, do do what's best for
everyone involved.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
All right. There you have it.
