Question for the married guys on here...

[calvegas04]

So I am going to be getting married in April, and I am wondering what are some ways you guys incorporated ND into your wedding?

 

[MNIrishman]

I'm getting married in the next year as well. We're setting the color theme to blue and gold.

IF it's turf, it will have to be Crazy Train ...

 

[calvegas04]

Gonna have a "Marrying like a champion today" sign printed and make my usc brother wear a shamrock pin on his tux

Crunch time that early on? No thanks lol

 

[BGIF]

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away ...

Mrs. BGIF had the male members of the wedding party wear black dinner jackets with Kelly green bow ties and cumberbunds.

It was an old fashioned Irish wedding. There was no need to announce "Here Come The Irish" everbody in attendance knew why the groom's eyes were smiling.

I don't recall if the Victory March had been written yet. There wasn't a leather helmet in the room. I do remember distinctly that my member was unemcumbered ... at least I think I remember.

ND theme, right?? Okay, how about

-The night before the wedding, have your Best Man get busted for Jaywalking, and kick him out of the wedding party
-Have the ushers throw out any of the guests that stand as your bride is walking down the aisle
-When the Priest (assuming Catholic) is about ready to perform the ceremony, start having him check into a different set of vows, start waving your hands for him to hurry as if it is his fault, and then call a timeout so that you and he can talk it over.
-When it comes time to put the ring on your new wife's finger, have it slip out of your fingers and when you go to pick it up your replacement best man also tries to help but in so doing his leg crashes into yours tearing your ACL
-And finally, for your wedding night, tell your wife you have to sleep in separate dorms

 

[TheSunIsRising]

BTW, congrats to both of you

I suggest that you let her steer the ship completely on this occasion. Girls think about this day from childhood. You can have an ND man cave or something later on.

Life size cardboard Coach Holtz standing in as your ring boy.

My buddies hung 3 Siberian Husky dolls painted purple and yellow from the back of our limo and we drug them through the western suburbs. The Irish beat Washington in Seattle on my wedding day.

Calvegas04.....forget everything you have ever heard about marriage and take to heart my post. I got married in 2008 and in the next two years my wife and I lost our Home and everything except the cars we had owned. My Mom told me "sex fades" and I almost puked. What she said next is the reason I am still married. "If you don't marry your best friend, you don't stand a chance." Next February they celebrate 50 years. Marry your best friend.

Don't listen to these guys that are still on their first marriage!

YOU ON THE BRIDE'S SIDE! DOWN IN FRONT!

Could the bride and groom please sit, we can't see the priest.

And now for the first time as Mr. & Mrs. Vegas Ferguson ...

Is your wife a Notre Dame person? Because, really, all of this is up to her.
If yes, there are good and tasteful ways to work your shared love for Our Lady's University into both the Mass (a singing of the Alma Mater) and the reception (a blaring of the Victory March at some point).
If no, then let it be. There'll be better occasions. Like next year's Texas game.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Get Tom Hammond to do the play-by-play.

 

[IrishinSyria]

Don't do it.

Feel free to read that as broadly or as narrowly as you want.

Listen to these guys ...

 

[dublinirish]

sounds a bit tacky to me i wouldnt bother

 

[koonja]

When she tosses the bouquet, have someone intercept it.

It's a wedding, not a funeral for someone who's been dead for 25 years, lol.

 

[FLDomer]

And have the best man fumble the rings!

 

[ShawneeIrish]

We got married on campus at the Basillica. At the reception played the Victory March and went up for push ups. Had ND grooms cake and couple more small things

 

[koonja]

And have the best man fumble the rings!

Then you and the bride should self-impose a no-hanky rule just to prove you are ND.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Tell her you are ineligible for cheating, but not to worry, that every kid does it.

 

[ozzman]

He's marrying Golson?
