From here on out, the events of August 8, 2009 will be referred to as Wedding Vs. UFC. I can’t tell you guys how much I enjoyed writing the original Wedding Vs. UFC post. It was my first blog entry in a long time that was in the spirit of my old CRM blog posts. Even The Groom read the post. Why is that such a big deal? Katie had to sum up the Save The Date for him because it was too long.
I first told everyone about Mike and Katie in an Eli Manning got married post on TBL. Notice the date? 4/20. *Waits for Spence to stop giggling* Yeah, this whole thing has been set for a while. Thus, a change of date will be difficult. Well, I guess cannot is inaccurate. Just because a couple rooms (Church, Reception location, hotels) have been booked, doesn’t mean we can’t push this sucker back a week or two. At least that’s my opinion.
The bride feels differently, as she explained in comment form. (Just like regular internet people!)
Mike and I obviously need to have a sit down convo on the recent turn of events. The card is better than good… And I am alongside your desires to go to the fight. Best I can do: I will see what bars show the fight. Its a large (open bar) wedding with guests already booking hotels. Save the dates were out 2 months ago. Your girlfriend is a bridesmaid. There are plenty of comments left by people I would enjoy to punch in the face. But, even though UFC inspired me to take up MA in my own time, I will not throw punches (unless Mike isn’t at the alter 8/8 and I find him in Philly with you).
My favorite part is about punching commenters in the face. That’s exactly how I feel every day. I’m considering taking up martial arts with Katie. Just in case I ever do meet a commenter. *glares at some MLJ Facebook pages*
Speaking of commenters I thought about causing harm to, there’s this guy.
Katie should understand that men have needs. UFC is one of them, not marriage. It appalls me to think that the wife-to-be could be so inconsiderate as to assume that wedding dates cannot be changed in emergency situations. People – we must rain down upon thee the furious wrath of really really angry comments. I ditched my own brothers wedding to watch kobayashi win a hot dog eating contest and it was the best decision of my life. screw you katie!
That turned out to be Katie’s younger brother. While I appreciated the ditching a brother’s wedding to see Kobayashi line before I knew who penned it, when Katie told me it was a sibling, it took it to a whole new level. It kind of makes me wish my brother was smart enough to go online and leave comments. Ah… dreams.
Before I move on with a wedding status update (Was the date changed!? The world wants to know.) let me address questions left by some readers Stigs.
Why did I call the priest, “Your Honor?” It was a joke. I’m a borderline hilarious person. You must remember this at all times when reading something I wrote.
“Who is that in the picture? Your buddy, Rasheem or a random dude on his wedding?”
Its Rasheem… er… Rashad Evans that was pictured. I went back and forth on what photo to run with that post. I think Rashad in a suit was the perfect choice. It really captured the essence of Wedding Vs. UFC.
Any other questions you should be able to figure out on your own, Stigs? No? You’re busy with the paste. Good.
Onto the update!
We hung out with Mike and Katie this weekend and discussed everything. Katie admitted that the card is just too good and too close to miss. They are currently attempting to move all the reservations up a day to August 7th. As I type, we’re waiting for UFC 101 tickets to go on sale.
Wooooooooo!
April Fools! Sorry if I actually tricked anyone. (Stigs, Mike) Katie gets her day, we get our open bar. If I’m just the right amount of drunk that night I’ll make my way to a Syracuse bar after the reception with some of my closest friends to scream at the television. It’s going to be a busy, drunken, fun, drunken day.
That’s a pretty long post to let us know that nothing has changed between some people nobody knows anything about.
Is this the “Who can piss off Katie the most” game? If so, I’m in.
I dont get it.
Agreed. You better still be friends with them in five years or you will regret not seeing grown men dry hump for money in Philadelphia*
*in Philly they usually do it for free
are you in the wedding? i agree with hef (i think) who said you prob won’t be friends with this couple in five years or so. And if you are, you’ll have to chose between the two since they’ll prob be divorce in 3-4 year.
/also doesn’t get it
/who the hell are these people?
I hate when CRM talks about his personal life. It just sounds horrible.
Should we go ahead and assume Katie wears the pants in that house?
The guy whose interests include UFC and Eastbound and Down has a girlfriend? There’s hope for all of you.
Uh oh, someone’s picking a fight…
the question is who wears the pants in CRM’s relationship?
me!–Was that a rhetorical question?
