Dude, they suck. Be glad you somehow missed it.

Being a little under 6 months away from my marriage, there are too many things to take care of to bother with an engagement party. I am lucky that I am marrying someone who didn't want to bother with such a party--her general dislike for unnecessary celebrations is just one of the reasons I love her!

Anyway, you don't have it so bad. My sister set her wedding date on the day of the scUM game next year! (That's right, she has a year and half engagement to plan the freak'n wedding and she sets the date on the absolute worse day possible.) Even after I and my other sister who is the maid of honor yelled at her for making such a stupid decision she is not moving it! Even worse, she is marrying a scUM fan. :(

An incredibly boring and tedious party where your family meets her family. Like Rugbybuck said, be thankful you missed it. I learned my lesson the second time around and imported my fiancee from Alaska :wink:

As for Matz I would suggest you bite the bullet. Yeah missing the Marshall game will suck but I guarantee you that she will want you to miss an even BIGGER game in the coming years, and you need to sock this one away in the bank. When she wants you to miss the Texas game next year for her Aunt Matilda's wedding anniversary you'll be able to invoke the "give and take" line. Think big picture here Matz

You young kids don't know anything. All you need to do is eat a whole bowl full of cherry/rasberry jello and right before you're supposed to leave take some syrup of epacac. Boom problem solved. You'll be puking red stuff all over the place. She'll think you're throwing up blood and you can watch the game in the emergency room. Now, to show your appreciation for this advice pm me and I'll give you my address where you can mail your tickets.

It actually should be a pretty good time. Our families have already met, so it should just be a big party as both of our families like to have a good time. If it wasn't for missing the game, I would actually look forward to the party.

Dude - I've been married for just over two years... I never went to OSU but my wife played the OSU fight song during our reception introduction!!!!!! YES, she is the coolest wife ever! There are some things she has grown to understand:

1. Ohio State is the most important thing in my life - besides her.
2. Even if you don't believe that last point - believe it anyway.
3. Even if you don't believe it - make sure she believes it.
4. If she doesn't believe it - you better believe you are already on your way out.

It's kind of like a game. A chess match. A little give and take. I would probably suck this one up for "the good of the family" - although I would suggest there are Sunday's on those weekends as well.

IF you do give in this time - make it damn clear where the priorities stand. Someone said it earlier a little differently but it is true.. stand your ground now or you have no ground to stand on later.

If you have to suck it up and watch a chick flick - do it.
If you have to clean the garage before the game - do it.

See, anything you "have" to do in order for you to watch the game - is ok.
Just don't make sure you have "other" things to do INSTEAD OF the game.

hope this helps.

-BSH

Fortunately my Fiancee was OK with getting married on Sept 12, so I could watch the Game :biggrin:

Fortunately, she's Jewish and shouldn't get married on Saturday anyway...but not missing a game was one of the criteria for setting the date

I have never heard of an engagement party...sounds like utter bullshit to me. Your parents and her parents have the rest of their lives to meet and get aquainted with each other...they don't need no stinkin' "party" to do so. Do NOT let either parents (hers or yours) dictate what, where, and when you two do things. Why can't they do it any other date? Are they against having this "party" on a Sunday?

Excellent, you just won THE most important battle of your future marriage. If you would've given up on this OSU game, that would've opened the door for your wife to keep you from seeing numerous games in the future.

congrats!

Well boys - I am glad to say that the party has been rescheduled to a Friday night. Thanks for all of your sympathy and help! :banger:

Outstanding! Now, for the slick part...do something nice for her in return. That way, she'll think she's getting the good part of the deal. You know how the best leaders are those that can tell you to go to hell and make you look forward to the trip? Well, the same principle applies here. If you make her feel good about letting you have your way in this important matter, it'll make it a lot easier down the road when you again want something.
