Wedding Etiquette

So I have a 1:00 wedding, which is really going to make it difficult to watch the second half. Anybody have any advice on the proper ettiquette for watching TV or gamecasts on your phone in church during a wedding? It's a full Catholic wedding so this is gonna be a long one... Should I pretend like I'm going to use it to take pictures and just sneak a peek here or there? Should I sit in the back corner like creepy uncle Mike? Should I just say fuck it, grab a couple of those wafers, some wine, kick my feet up and ignore the strange looks and death stares from the family?

By the way, does anybody know of a stream I can pull up on my phone for the game?

Those wafers are good with queso dip

Yahoo has some sort of gamecenter thing, which would work if you have a good imagination. So when it says, “O’Meara rushes left for 16 yards,” you have to picture him spinning out of the grasp of a DT, running over a linebacker and hurdling their cornerback.

I have a wedding next week that doesn’t start until 5pm, so I plan on showing up all glossy-eyed for pictures. My friend, the groom, would expect nothing less. Not so sure about the bride…..

Finding a stream would be prohibitively difficult

And the second half won’t be that necessary to watch anyway.

I’m not going to mock you (I was rooting for Iowa), but I do enjoy that this is the exact same thing Michigan fans were saying two years ago. Happy, happy memories. :)

DO YOU HAVE PRIDE, DANNY?

EPIC FAIL

That was greenwoodesque in how much of a fail that statement was. It’s a good thing i wasn’t paying attention for the entire hour and a half the ceremony was and spent the whole time sitting in the back, refreshing my phone to see the live game thread updates.

Fuck tOSU

Hopefully...

someone talked you out of watching the second half.

For future reference, after the wedding party processes in you can put the cell phone on silent, and put it on the pew, maybe with a hymn book near it so most people don’t know what you’re doing. That way, if anyone looks close enough to actually see you watching football, you can accuse them of looking at your crotch.

I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.

Not particularly relevant, but...

…my brother had the foresight to schedule his wedding for what turned out to be the 6-to-4 game a few years ago. Glad I missed it.

Open Bar Fail

Also not relevant, but my sister had to re-schedule her wedding for the @ Syracuse game a few years back (three?) My dad declared open bar until the Iowa game was over – then shriveled in horror to see it go into double overtime.

He’s a huge Iowa fan, but at the end of regulation he didn’t give a shit who won the game, as long as it ended.
