Married Sept 28 1968. Away game vs Princeton. Listened on radio with best man in church vestibule. First words when met at alter “Rutgers WON”. Amazing we’re still together 54 years later. But watch fall nuptials: Some anniversaries can be a bitch.

Another source says this.. and mentions recent years for their "data"..
1. October
October accounted for 20% of weddings in 2022, marking the peak of the wedding season. Pumpkin decor details, Halloween-inspired themes and seasonal desserts are just a few things to love about fall weddings.
2. September
Coming in at a close second, 15% of couples were married in September last year. Spoiler alert: The most popular wedding date of 2023 will be in September.
3. June
Early summer is the third most popular time of the year to get married, with 10% of weddings taking place in June last year.
4. July & August
July and August were tied for the fourth most popular wedding months, each accounting for 9% of weddings in 2022. Unsurprisingly, the warm summer months are a great choice for outdoor weddings and beach wedding themes.
5. May & November
Tied in fifth place are May and November, with 8% of weddings taking place during each month last year. These "shoulder" months may offer more flexibility and budget-friendly options compared to the popularity of summer or fall.
Maybe June weddings were just old-fashioned where people got married early.. right after college ended and they were off to start new careers and a new life?
06-09 was a good timeIf anyone on this board believes a Rutgeres football game is more fun than a wedding...A. You're doing weddings wrong. B. You're a better fan than I am.
You're making my point. Fifteen years ago, maybe. Not now.06-09 was a good time
If Football becomes consistently good where the games became events and you’re competiting with and beating top tier B1G teams in front of sellout crowds, then yes, I’d unequivally say games would be more fun then weddings
Just go to the damn wedding. Missing one game is not the end of the world.
I hope we can get to that level again one day. The potential is certainly there. Whether or not it happens in our lifetimes remains to be seenYou're making my point. Fifteen years ago, maybe. Not now.

I know a guy who was a landscape architect (35 years) who did exclusive design/plantings etc for celebs. He always said September is the most reliable month. Temps go down, skies are blue - like 9-11. Hurricanes can happen but not too often, October can be pretty erratic on the weather change border. I've found Sept an underrated month - its a very pleasant month overall
I've always said that September is the best month of the year in this part of the country.
October is super erratic. Just can't rely on October.
April 16 - May 15
We were invited to a wedding on Monday April 8th 2024 at 2 pm because of the eclipse.Also people didn't do weird shit like Halloween weddings.
What???? Can you provide more details on that?We were invited to a wedding on Monday April 8th 2024 at 2 pm because of the eclipse.
Can it get any worse than that?
BTW we got married last year during the Wagner game. Not a bye week but close enough
HAHA. Well my wife's cousin and her soon to be husband think there is something significant about the eclipse and the ceremony will be right at the time of the eclipse. So everyone apparently is expected to call off work for it. I'm not sure exactly what it is they think is so great about it?? but my thought is, if you want to do that, do it privately and have a big celebration that is at a more traditional time.What???? Can you provide more details on that?
I agree with your take about doing something small then having a bigger celebration. However, it will be memorable, that's for sure!HAHA.

From simply a practical standpoint, getting a hotel in the eclipse zone is not easy. But yeah that's bad. The eclipse happens really slowly, and that is what people will be paying attention to.We were invited to a wedding on Monday April 8th 2024 at 2 pm because of the eclipse.

Yeah, but your gift or party favor is all set. Eclipse glasses with the couple's names and wedding date.From simply a practical standpoint, getting a hotel in the eclipse zone is not easy. But yeah that's bad. The eclipse happens really slowly, and that is what people will be paying attention to.
You should have said…no, as I’m just trying to black it out.HAHA.

I never even considered that. Great point.From simply a practical standpoint, getting a hotel in the eclipse zone is not easy. But yeah that's bad. The eclipse happens really slowly, and that is what people will be paying attention to.

Of course these weddings are acceptable, I was married on a Sat on 10/16. … some 30 years ago. Anyone that would put a football game above something like that needs a serious re-examining of priorities. In my case, I was very fortunate to marry a woman who likes watching some sports and football and allows me to watch football games without many conditions.
Oh the traffic. We to the west coast in 2017 and saw the total eclipse from Salem Oregon. Imagine nearly every FBS football game taking place at noon in NJ on the same day - that’s the traffic situation to expect. They advised people to bring extra water and food. Hours to the zone, and many hours to get out of the area. It was nuts, but very cool and worth it.I never even considered that. Great point.
it’s all about what matters to people
Like I said, zero chance I was getting married in the fall
DGAF about many things, but football is very important, and there’s 8 - 9 other months to do it
I don’t begrudge people for doing it, but I don’t wana hear a peep if I don’t attend
You’ll get your money, and a hearty congratulations. But unless we’re super close, it’s an absolute non starter
College fb means that much to me
Smart move. Let’s be honest, they didn’t care wether you went or not. I love when I don’t get invited to stuff. Keeps me paying for something I wouldn’t have gone to otherwise.Preach.
As some know, on homecoming I chose to not attend the wedding of my stepbrother's oldest daughter. I'm not terribly close to either one and the entire family - stepbrother, wife, both kids - are RU grads. My position was that they all should have known better and I wasn't going to indulge their lack of consideration.
