Pat Fargason you might just have something here. In your piece in the Savannah Morning News, you lay the groundwork for the proper way to plan a wedding date. Per your suggestions, the bride and groom-to-be should work around (in this case) the Georgia Bulldog football season. I think it’s brilliant. I only wish Mrs. Bloggerman would have worked our wedding date around Bruce Springsteen’s tour schedule so we could have seen him in DC when he came in.
The next question for you Pat, is can this “scheduling plan” of yours work for fans of other teams or other sports. Say for example I am a huge WNBA fan (and evidently there aren’t a lot of us out there). Can I plan my weddings and other social gatherings around the schedule of my favorite team, The New York Liberty? They played a game on Saturday, July 19th against the always tough women of the Indiana Fever. Say I had a bar mitzvah or a wake to go to that evening. Would it be appropriate to ask the person of “honor” to move the event so I could take in that battle of the titans?
And if that’s ok (and I’m hoping it is!), I ask....nay....I demand that Debbie and Eric change their wedding date so I can attend the 2009 ING Atlanta Marathon. I will not be deterred in my wishes here. Pat said that I am completely in my right to do so. And if this upsets you then I say take it up with him!
