Texas Fight - On Our Wedding Night!

Well. You can't say we weren't warned. We knew this was a possibility from the moment we secured the date and booked the venue. These things just naturally come with the territory of having a fall wedding, on a Saturday night, right square in the middle of football season.

And as of yesterday, it's now official.

10.30.2010. Baylor versus Texas football. Home game. 6pm Start.

Not to mention, it's the game where Colt McCoy's jersey will be retired in a pre-game ceremony.

And with our 5:30pm event, that means that as our wedding ceremony begins, Colt will be on the field having his No. 12 honored, and then right around the time we say "I Do", Texas will be kicking off to another Big 12 Victory!

Perhaps now would be a good time to reveal my wedding dress selection? Longhorn bride: classy and sassy.

Funny. Clay and I have both agonized and anguished over when this game time start would be. (Ok, maybe just me.) And now that it's announced and we find out it conflicts with our wedding... well... I really don't care! We're still getting married. Plus, I've already alerted our guests that, not to worry, there will be plenty of game updates during the reception. So that's taken care of.

It's kind of fitting, actually. We met at UT, fell in love at UT, and now the Longhorns are playing a football game at UT the night of our wedding, in honor of the two of us (or so the narcissistic bride in me likes to think.)

Besides, what better way to celebrate our marriage than to have the UT Tower lit up on 10.30.2010? (Knock on wood... now come on, Horns, give us a win for the newlywed Fains!)
