im jealous……………

i wish i was doing a backwoods trip in the next week or so! im sure you didnt con the bride to be to spend the entire honeymoon in a tent……i know i couldnt……. any beach time mixed in?

who’s recording the games for you?

have a safe trip

At least your future in-laws have the decency to be fans of an NFC team.

The Packers aren’t that bad. =-)

And may your bride-to-be become a football (Colts) convert over the years.

Once more, best wishes.

Mine hates football for a few reasons (our 8 year-old inevitably tackles everything in the house when he watches—antiques, his younger brothers, random old relatives), but the Colts in particular because of me. (I blame it on the refs giving Marino an INC pass when it should have been a fumble in 1999, and my reaction to her when she burst into the TV room asking me to taste something just as the d-bags f-ed up their call on the way to a narrow Colts defeat). Happy married life is possible, and if you can joke about it, so much the better. When all three of our boys play it (the 2nd starts this fall), she won’t be able to hide her head in the sand completely. She comes to watch them and take photos.

My advice, have sons and get them interested in football. She will probably never love it, but it’s hard to just shut out your kids interests. Underhanded? Perhaps. But she gets back at me (I suspect) by inviting her family over for dinner whenever Indy plays a prime time game. Paranoid? You bet.

Have a great wedding and a better marriage.

Attend your own wedding and honeymoon in lieu of watching the Colts first two games. I have never heard of such lunacy!

Oh yeah JK…

Congratulations!

Have a long, happy marraige.

Also, if I become Nostradamus, and my Colts-Packers SB XLIV prediction goes right, then hopfully that does not create too much of a problem.

Just went through that with my wife in August of 2008. She surprised me with her “something blue” as the same garders pictured in your post. She thought I would be able to guess but I had no idea that’s what she got. She’s a great woman, but she also DETESTS football. More like, destests how much time I dedicate to it. I mean, I do comment on a blog on SB Nation – so her point is valid.

Best wishes to the bride and enjoy your special day and the honeymoon. The Colts will be in good hands while you’re away. GO HORSE!

You MUST be in love to plan your wedding during football season. What a man won’t do for love!

Congratulations and best wishes may you have a long and happy marriage.

I only detest your choice of day to have the wedding. Come on BBS, do it during the preseason when the Colts dont give a crap!

Congratulations. I hope you and your betrothed enjoy a long life together.

Please tell me, however, you don’t really mean you’ll be worrying over table clothes or flowers. I cannot actually believe you will have a meaningful role deciding such details, as you’ve been occupied elsewhere with important business like whether Humber or Tauilililili was making the 53-man.

As for the tie, presuming your tuxedo is black (can there be any other color, really?) the only possible choices are black or Colts blue.

Here’s to a great day for you and your intended.

And I hope that you guys last a life time together. And may her detestation of the greatest sport on Earth fade. If not, may whatever deity you worship take mercy on you. But anyway, have fun, enjoy your honeymoon, and we’ll be waiting and ready for you in a couple of weeks.

My wife of 15+ years now is an avid Colts fan with me. She wears her lucky Colts socks during their games, and so many little touches in our life are Colts decorated. My son’s entire room, my office at work, dishes, mugs, blankets, plenty of apparel, etc.

Now on a college ball front, my parents and family are true blue (and maize) Wolverines fans, while hers are dyed-in-the-wool Buckeyes. We avoided any grief in the relationship this way by moving to Indiana, cheering for Purdue in particular and the Big Ten in general, and most importantly, becoming Pro football and Colts fans primarily.

Best wishes to you during this season of your life, BBS!

Congrats and best wishes to you and your soon to be bride.

congrats BBS! I remember the day after my wedding was the jets-colts game in ‘06. I had to listen to it on the drive back to Indy, it was crazy to listen to. Also, I’m pretty sure my wedding was the good luck charm that won us a super bowl. Hopefully yours will be the same way.

Congrats to you and your wife! However BBS, keep this in mind>>>>

Keep an eye on them at all times!!!!!

MAUI is cool, there’s no football there! Your wife will love it!

btw: will you use your middle name for your first child? You know…BLUE? Yes, even I think Kravitz is an idiot. After 22 years of marriage (yup, I’m THAT old) the best advice I can offer is find what works for you. I was lucky enough to find a girl who’s a rabid football fan. We always know what we’re doing on Sunday.
