Question for the married guys on here...

[Rack Em]

Getting married at the Basilica, so there's going to be a lot of ND incorporated into the wedding with the future Mrs. Rack Em.

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.

Excellent post is excellent

The wedding is her call, perhaps getting her a ND cheerleading outfit for the honeymoon would be a better route.

I made zero request for my wife's special day, but she did surprise me by putting the interlocking ND on the top face of the cake.

I was lucky in that my wife loves ND as well, and we were able to work the Alma Mater into the mass. I don't know if the priest was expecting half the Church to stand up and start swaying back and forth, but it was a pretty great moment.

As others have already advised though, it's best to let her make most of the decisions for the big day.

I suggest that you let her steer the ship completely on this occasion. Girls think about this day from childhood.

Basically, this.

I do have one suggestion though: groom's cakes are trendy right now. Get an ND groom's cake.

Fumble the ring.

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?

The smartest, and coincidentally most accurate, way to incorporate ND football into your wedding is to not show up for the second half.

Sign a 3-star chef to cook the food.

 

[Rack Em]

Play "Crazy Train" during the reception.

But he's got to be a diamond in the rough!

 

[RDU Irish]

Dress the groomsmen like the Irish guard.

Seriously though, just say "yes dear" to everything she wants and go with the flow. Smile and nod is the only respectable way for a groom to prepare and participate in their wife's wedding.

 

[Jackalope1977]

This thread is hilarious. I agree with everyone who says let the wife pick everything.... except the booze. Grooms are in charge of the booze.

 

[MNIrishman]

The Alma Mater is "legally" a prayer, so it's ok to incorporate that into the Church ceremony. Several weddings I've been to have played the fight song during the reception.

Forget ND, what you should be asking is how to incorporate IE in to your wedding. Personally attack your guests if they don't agree with you, start a racial or political debate, ignore anything of substance, argue with anyone that doesn't agree with you, ban a few people from the weddding, and finish it off with the ultimate tip of the cap...PIIHB.

 

[IRISH in MT]

Jesus, DON'T GO THROUGH WITH IT MAN!!!

Marriage = signing up to give away half my sh!t when she changes her mind and isn't happy anymore.

 

[scUM Hater]

Whatever she wants, just get used to it. You will forget all about the wedding over time. She will remember every damn detail.

A recent study showed that paying a hooker for sex 1-2 times a week will save you 10 times what a wife will cost you...and you're unlikely to get it that often once you get older. Not to mention, even though you get older, the prostitutes stay the same age.

Run....run fast, run far. Good luck.

This is the route to go unless you want kids. Hookers don't usually make great moms.

Get one of your more responsible friends to ban several guest halfway through the reception. See if Beau is available

Notre Dame has had a very special place in our heart for my wife & I. We were engaged on the football field in 2007 and married in 2008. We wanted a fall wedding and picked our wedding date on a Notre Dame away game. My wife and her father are both ushers for football games.

We had call colors for the wedding but walked into the reception hall to the Victory March. Then we had someone on the mic gives updates to the ND vs MSU game during dinner.

 

[Cackalacky]

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.

This guy gets it. You will be a happy man for a long time.

Let the girl do what she wants. And God help you if you Fuck it up.

No penetration no hesitation! What was the original question?

Italics

We did Navy/Gold colors for bridesmaids. At reception we had cards on the table that had their song. Once it played they were released for food. (Big-ish wedding) When the head table was released it was the fight song. Once everyone was done we played the start of "Here comes the Irish of Notre Dame" and then went into good music to get the party started.

My wife said it was so awesome she wants to divorce and re-marry to do it all over again. I got a good one!

Best of luck to you on your wedding day. Hope it is the experience of a lifetime for ya! Best advice I was given was, "The wedding is for you. The reception is for everyone to celebrate for you. Plan your wedding this way and you won't regret it." People had a blast at my wedding and it was incredible to watch.

Cheers to you!

Is your future with real? If not, then you're already incorporating a little ND.

To soon? Sorry just kidding.
