"Accidentally"? The Indy 500 is run the same time every year -- Memorial Day weekend. For the record, I can't stand it when couples selfishly book weddings on holiday weekends. Many people get little vacation time, and holidays are the few times they're guaranteed time off. The last thing I want to be doing on my much-needed downtime is dressing up and going to a wedding.
If you book your Wedding on the LSU/Bama gameday you will have 50% of your guests not show up and the other 50% that show up will be at the hotel bar watching it on the TV 😂
When my sister got married my BIL was astonished to discover they had to plan the ceremony around the Bama football schedule that year. He thought she was kidding. She wasn't. I was in school at Bama at the time and in the band so my best friend and I (bridesmaids) came home after the Auburn game in time for the ceremony then back to T'town to leave for the bowl game on Christmas Day. My cousin and her husband got married in Baton Rouge DURING the Alabama/Auburn game. When it was pointed out, their response was "LSU wasn't playing". We sat in the car listening to the game until the bride was ready to walk down the aisle. We beat her in by seconds.
@@hankb1604 only if you don't provide a tv. I had one at my 1996 wedding during the UF/TN game. My husband and I met at UF, as did his parents. He was also conceived in the PKT house there, but that's probably TMI 🤣
Me and my wife were very lucky on the venue for our wedding. This real estate agent bought and renovated an abandoned lakeside place that used to host events for family reunions and churches, and we found the new website for it in the first hour he put it up. He had no idea at first how much most venues charge for weddings, so we paid probably $4,000 less than the next person to rent the place from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning.
That sounds lovely! We also got a great package deal on our ceremony (venue, decorations, photographer, officiant, etc) because they were still a new business trying to get the word out.
26 bridesmaids? The bride's mother probably made her ask every female relative, and neighbor's daughter, to be in the wedding party. Family "obligation" and all that. And personally, I'd love a mashed potato bar.
It's not going to be a mashed potato bar. It's going to be a bar with baked potatoes you have to mash yourself and apply your own toppings. Similar to the baked potato you get in a carryout box from a restaurant. If there is a baked potato bar you know the families are not spending the money to pay for someone to mash the potatoes. Don't expect anything beyond basic beverages, and plain cake. Don't be surprised if the cake is just white cake covered in plain white icing with no decorations. These are people out to not spend money.
26?? *35*??? Man, and I thought my aunt overdid it in her first wedding with 10 bridesmaids (and 10 groomsmen because both sides had to be even, you know). If I ever get married, I'll be surprised if I even have three.
I had three bridesmaids and only three, thank goodness, but your comment made me think of the Dallas bridal shower, thrown jointly by nine different women from church because they all wanted to be the woman who threw my mother's only daughter her bridal shower. 🤣
I really did Laugh Out Loud! My hubs and I just had a 20-year vow renewal last month. Not in a barn but a converted chapel in Coastal Georgia, with a "military meets country chic" theme. We had "Co-cola" (local pronunciation of Coca-Cola) in glass bottles in a metal tub with ice, peanuts, sugar cane straws, mason jar tea dispensers and mugs/favors, hand fan favors, barbeque, cornbread, coleslaw, and much more, but the designated "moon pie" person dropped the ball and didn't show. All in all, we had a great day though.
@@Troublemaker1022-r9c I went back and watched that part again to see if your comment might help me know what the heck she was talking about, but nope. It's the one joke in the whole video I didn't get and still don't.
As someone who rarely drinks, I'd be a huge fan of a milkshake bar. :) But that is a valid point, I doubt too many people are going to let their tummies settle after a milkshake before they go dancing.
Our wedding was in a church and reception in a bed & breakfast home built in the early 1900s. We had a harpist play before and at key points during the ceremony. We have relatives with dietary health issues so we had a table of melons, fruit, berries, grapes, and vegetables with a selection of dips. The main food table was a selection of delicious Cajun foods. We had two simple cakes. The groom’s cake was simple chocolate with chocolate dipped strawberries. The wedding cake was shaped like three gift boxes stacked on top of each other with a light vanilla almond flavor. Honeymoon was San Antonio in February.
This is true! My wedding was at a bed and breakfast in September and it was HOT! We had the ceremony outside in the shade(only 10 minutes), my father in law married us off(bless his heart, he forgot my middle name) and pictures took an hour!! I about had a heatstroke till we finally got inside and I was able to peel off my gown to put on my reception cocktail dress! Only 30 people came but my husband made brisket with three sauces so it wasn't a disappointment.
I was hired to sing for an outdoor wedding on a July afternoon in South Texas. The bride's family ended up having to sit in the direct sunlight for the ceremony, and her daddy (anglo gentleman dressed in a tux!) looked like a lobster before the end of the ceremony. 🦞
I was best man at a friend’s wedding at some lake, the reception was under the pavilion so if was in the shade, but the ceremony was on the pier and I about soaked my wool suit! We were all sweating profusely, so the preacher hurried it up so we could get back in the shade.
I have been to two weddings in that very barn, I swear. One had the sense to get married in May. The other, without air conditioning, got to see her cake layers slide off one another as the frosting melted.
Best Southern wedding I ever attended was in NC .... the bride and groom got married in church [with a/c] and the reception was held at a rustic hall [also with a/c] about 45 minutes away. We barely had to wait for the bridal party to arrive, which was excellent. The hall had the barn ambience without the heat and lack of bathrooms. Best of all, after the food and toasts, we country danced the rest of the night away ....
Omg lol Matt. I wish I had brought paper towels. I got married in Virginia in the mountains in May. I love my husband, but HUGE mistake location. We were all sweating like sinners in church. My makeup was practically halfway down my face 10 minutes in. I practically begged for ice water at the reception, and then almost started crying when it arrived.
When they started talking about the food, I started to wish I'd seen this before planning my reception. Chicken fingers and a mashed potato/mac n cheese bar sounds great!
My DH’s roommate and fiancée scheduled their wedding for the Saturday before Thanksgiving. In Tuscaloosa. They had to find a different minister because the bride’s pastor (since she was a a child) had tickets to the game and wouldn’t change his plans.
outdoor wedding in the summer in the south are just asking for trouble. Fall weddings, I am going to one this fall, should be their own topic. The bride did schedule it on a bye week for her team though.
We got married in May at an Episcopal Church in North Carolina, then our reception was held at a beautiful country club. My colors were ivory and pale pink. Timeless southern wedding.😊
Got married in the "chapel" at church. Our reception was at my parents' archery club. (woohoo free!) Not a barn, but certainly no fancy event center. Concrete floor with the club logo painted on it. Long folding tables and banged up metal folding chairs The buck and doe's heads mounted on one wall were dressed up as a groom and bride for the occasion. Mom covered up the hay bales that were the walls with draped plastic tablecloths from the dollar store.
Based on what we just watched, we have only two options for southern weddings. #1- get married during the summer when it’s so hot you could bake the wedding cake outside. #2-get married during the fall/winter when it’s a little cooler, but risk missing a major football game. Decisions, decisions??
Many many years ago, my parents went to a lakeside wedding of one of my neighbors. The couple was young and really loved nature.....so much so that they didn't want the waist high summer weeds to be mowed. I was just glad my parents didn't meet any other wedding guests like water moccasins.
Gotta tell ya, it has become a thing with me to check out the end credits to see who wrote and produced the videos. And to find out if I guessed correctly. Right again, I just knew Matt had been one of the writers! Love his humor!
when I heard the guy after he asked was that a mac n cheese back and then he said "glad I took my Lactaid"I am speaking for everyone who have Lactose Intolerant as I do A BIG THANK YOU LOL I can't talk for anyone else personally but I love cheese like crazy so people who have the " helpful solution" so I don't to pay so much out of pocket for Lactaid because its OTC so its not covered by insurance to just highly limit or cut dairy full out of my diet...yea nope not happening as long as I can help it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best Southern wedding in a little Polish town in south Texas in an in air conditioned Catholic Church late afternoon in August. 14 bridesmaids and 14 groomsmen all brothers or sisters of the lucky pair. 40 kegs, bbq, huge cake, $1 whiskey shots or cigars and dances with the bride by pinning money on veil. Absolutely the best!!
When you mentioned pinning money on the bride's veil for a dance, why did my mind go to... "I wonder what a stripper's wedding reception would be like?"
I'm west coast Canadian and several years ago got married in Iowa..... in one of the barns, with hay bales for seats. Not hot as was end of September, but I shall never forget the criticism "Why couldn't you have it in a posh hotel like a normal person". Now barns are the thing... BTW, my husband to be decided to mow all my flowers the morning of the wedding, you know, the ones for centrepieces and bouquets, said he was tidying the yard..... needless to say the marriage did not last..... all the lovely neighbour women were scurrying around to bring me loads of flowers :)
As an Arkansas fan I love the comment about no one going to the wedding! My nephew is getting married on the same day as the Arkansas/Miss St. game. The game better be during the day or people are going to be on their phones. WPS! 🐷
I got married in a high school chapel with a reception in a $500 church hall right after. We only had a $5,000 budget, and the lion's share of that was BBQ for the reception. I have no regrets. Married 8 years, and we still like each other.
My nephew had a June wedding and reception in a barn. I have never, ever, ever been so hot in my life. And the humidity! Everyone's makeup had melted before they even took the pictures.
I performed at a wedding where the pastor mentioned he would keep it short because of whatever game was playing that day, and the guests had iPads and iPhones set up with the game on the screen at the reception🤣
Oh Ryan you be right in with my son tearing up the dance floor and crashing other reception s. We were at a large hotel ballroom where he was quite the dancer then he and a few of the groomsmen decided the tunes from the next ballroom sounded better. So they crash the dance floor in the next door wedding. Mother of Bride was not amused but bother bridal parties had fun visiting both receptions.
My cousin and his wife were HUGE Bama fans!! They got married on a Bama/Carolina game day....they had the game playing at their reception and their colors were the crimson and houndstooth!!
I took 2 jars of moonshine to my neice's wedding. An hour into the reception, the bar tender was asking me to go get more of the apple pie flavor b/c it was the best seller.
From my experience of being a wedding vendor.... please make sure to have lots of shade and portable AC units if your wedding will be outdoors and in the summer. One wedding I worked on was outdoors in July in South Texas. The bride's family ended up sitting in the direct sunlight for the ceremony and her daddy (anglo gentleman) looked like a lobster before the end of the ceremony. Thankfully they had the practical and wise idea of having an indoor reception!
My son and daughter-in-law got married and BAMA was playing in the National Championship game. They had the game playing on a big screen TV as they said their vows with the volume down. BAMA won by the way! Roll Tide Roll!!! They are both BAMA graduates so they know the rules..... don't get married on GameDay. Accomodations HAVE to be made....have to! I think it's a law in ALABAMA. If it isn't it should be.
If you book a wedding anytime during football season in key SEC territory (AR, AL, LA, MS, TX), I hope you like a crowd barely big enough to fill a single booth at your local restaurant because that's all you're getting.
A barn party room with a disco ball on the ceiling? 😂 Dear, I once saw a 16-century European castle dungeon renovated into a party room with a glitzy bar and, yes, a mirrored disco ball on the ceiling! Nothing is too crass to be used as a party facility. Just put up some lights and a disco ball and call in a DJ! 😂
I got married on the day of the Clemson/Carolina game here in SC. The ceremony was at noon though, so we had the reception cleared down and everyone home to their TVs in plenty of time!
Thank you for the first comment that let me know what the heck that line was about, because despite being a Texan from a family that loves football, I never gave a flip about pro teams, let alone college. So the only Southern football rivalries I know anything about are the ones friends were into while I was at grad school in North Carolina, none of which involved Mississippi.
My parents got married in an episcopal church during lent. That meant no flowers, they had to negotiate music, and it had to be dry (probably for the best)! My mother ate a carrot and a bite of cake, that’s it, all day. All the parents were ready to sock the priest in the jaw before they were an hour into the rehearsal, the day of my grandfather (dads dad: picture a 5’ 2” vary Jewish advertising executive who could get control of a board room with one look) put the fear of God into him. 31 years later my parents still say they would change just about everything except the guests, dress, and each other.
Try this on for size, how about a "Southern Law Enforcement" wedding. Groom is a cop. Bride works in admin for the state police. Both come from law enforcement families. Fearing the tradition-monster prank from bachelor party, an official bachelor party didn't take place, but a pop up tailgate party did take place in the hotel parking lot. The highlight was when I had too much to drink and tried to pick a fight with three linesmen from Texas A&M, who were visiting a friend at the hotel. We did pull a prank, hiding the rings. The bride wasn't happy when we all pulled our pockets out in a mock search for the rings right at the critical part of the ceremony.
Holy shit Edit: I did not mean to post this comment in a "Oh my gosh you are a terrible person" kind of way, I meant to post it in a "Oh wow, this sounds really cool" kind of way. Just a small explanation can go a long way for some of you
Lol! Our wedding was 11/05 and had to promise that my reception location could have the college football game on! I called it a compromise for asking a bunch men to get dressed up and come to my wedding!
Went to one of those. The couple was catholic and it was an up and down thing throughout the ceremony. The reception had no alcohol and no music Everyone just sat around looking at each other. I couldn't wait to leave.
Aunt: “Pardon everyone…please join us for a cake and punch reception downstairs.” Me: “I hope there’s butter mints” Reception: butter mints AND mixed nuts! Score.
I am a catering server who works a ton of weddings... this video personifies ALL weddings :) One thing- I would LOVE to see the mashed potato bar rather than baked!
Okay, I’m a Southerner born and bred, but nearly every wedding I go to is a church wedding so pretty much none of this is relatable, lol. The food is always good, though.
I'm a Christian and haven't been to an actual in-church wedding in at least a decade (one renewal, so that doesn't really count). I'm happy to know there are still some folks getting married in church!
My former sister in law wanted a barn wedding when she married my brother in law They couldn't find one they could afford, so they settled on a lakefront, but still everyone wore cowboy boots, big belt buckles, and vests. 6 years later they are getting divorced.
My brother's wedding the groomsmen,which I was one of, wore white tux with Colonel Sanders bow ties. My Sister in law wore a white hat with a veil. The mother in law made us take a raisin and asked us to put it on a front tooth and smile at my brother as we passed by him at the altar. He was trying to keep it together.
"26 bridesmaids?! I don't know 26 people!"
I felt this deep in my soul.

I'm west coast Canadian and several years ago got married in Iowa..... in one of the barns, with hay bales for seats. Not hot as was end of September, but I shall never forget the criticism "Why couldn't you have it in a posh hotel like a normal person". Now barns are the thing...
BTW, my husband to be decided to mow all my flowers the morning of the wedding, you know, the ones for centrepieces and bouquets, said he was tidying the yard..... needless to say the marriage did not last..... all the lovely neighbour women were scurrying around to bring me loads of flowers :)
As an Arkansas fan I love the comment about no one going to the wedding!
My nephew is getting married on the same day as the Arkansas/Miss St. game. The game better be during the day or people are going to be on their phones. WPS! 🐷
I LOVE THE STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN REFERENCE 😂😂😂
As someone who had an orange and white checkerboard grooms cake, I really enjoyed the Neyland Stadium grooms cake bit
Liz knows about Stone Cold Steve Austin...she gets me!!
Why? ‘Cuz Stone Cold said so!
2:17 - "My people are over here " 🤣🤣
I got married in a high school chapel with a reception in a $500 church hall right after. We only had a $5,000 budget, and the lion's share of that was BBQ for the reception.
I have no regrets. Married 8 years, and we still like each other.
@itsasouthernthing
My nephew had a June wedding and reception in a barn. I have never, ever, ever been so hot in my life. And the humidity! Everyone's makeup had melted before they even took the pictures.
@itsasouthernthing
The “Hell Yeah” people are my people as well the reception gonna be lit lmao
@itsasouthernthing
I performed at a wedding where the pastor mentioned he would keep it short because of whatever game was playing that day, and the guests had iPads and iPhones set up with the game on the screen at the reception🤣
When my daughter said she wanted to get married in October, the first thing we did was see if the Vols were playing that weekend.
@itsasouthernthing
Oh Ryan you be right in with my son tearing up the dance floor and crashing other reception s. We were at a large hotel ballroom where he was quite the dancer then he and a few of the groomsmen decided the tunes from the next ballroom sounded better. So they crash the dance floor in the next door wedding. Mother of Bride was not amused but bother bridal parties had fun visiting both receptions.
My cousin and his wife were HUGE Bama fans!! They got married on a Bama/Carolina game day....they had the game playing at their reception and their colors were the crimson and houndstooth!!
My cousin's wedding was awesome. She had fantastic catering.
@itsasouthernthing
Love all of this! Can't pick the one that made me laugh the most. 😂
@itsasouthernthing
Just was at a barn wedding yesterday! But up in Minnesota.
This is all so true. Love this channel.
@itsasouthernthing
I took 2 jars of moonshine to my neice's wedding.
An hour into the reception, the bar tender was asking me to go get more of the apple pie flavor b/c it was the best seller.
I loved Matt's comment about the Arkansas game lol perfect
@itsasouthernthing
If I go to a southern wedding their better be a Cornbread Mountain.
Biscuits and gravy
@@zlpatriot11 You DO know they make a gravy fountain for such occasions, dontcha??
Mac and cheese bar and mashed potato bar? YUM!! I put on 10 lb just thinking about it!!
This is hilariously topical for me, because I’m both southern and getting married!
the best combination
May it be a long, happy, and prosperous marriage!
Congratulations and have fun with that.❤️ From Alabama
From my experience of being a wedding vendor.... please make sure to have lots of shade and portable AC units if your wedding will be outdoors and in the summer. One wedding I worked on was outdoors in July in South Texas. The bride's family ended up sitting in the direct sunlight for the ceremony and her daddy (anglo gentleman) looked like a lobster before the end of the ceremony. Thankfully they had the practical and wise idea of having an indoor reception!
@@biker5662 I appreciate your advice. However, it is an indoor wedding. In February.
My son and daughter-in-law got married and BAMA was playing in the National Championship game. They had the game playing on a big screen TV as they said their vows with the volume down. BAMA won by the way! Roll Tide Roll!!! They are both BAMA graduates so they know the rules..... don't get married on GameDay. Accomodations HAVE to be made....have to! I think it's a law in ALABAMA. If it isn't it should be.
Yeah my brother-in-law's wedding was pretty much exactly Steel Magnolias, minus the armadillo groom's cake, though it was still red velvet lol
To be quite honest with you, I have never been to a wedding reception. But after looking at this video, it was hysterical!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Southern weddings.. my favorite types of party..
What bout Egyptian Funerals?
Matt - you had this Vol fan dying laughing. Love it.
June and July are the only time a true college fan can have a wedding
My sister in law got married Bama Tennessee gameday.. family only came...and I use the word family very loosely here folks .
If you book a wedding anytime during football season in key SEC territory (AR, AL, LA, MS, TX), I hope you like a crowd barely big enough to fill a single booth at your local restaurant because that's all you're getting.
A barn party room with a disco ball on the ceiling? 😂 Dear, I once saw a 16-century European castle dungeon renovated into a party room with a glitzy bar and, yes, a mirrored disco ball on the ceiling! Nothing is too crass to be used as a party facility. Just put up some lights and a disco ball and call in a DJ! 😂
"There's even a tiny mustard bottle on the field." ROFL!
@itsasouthernthing
I got married on the day of the Clemson/Carolina game here in SC. The ceremony was at noon though, so we had the reception cleared down and everyone home to their TVs in plenty of time!
As an Ole Miss fan I died at that "There's even a tiny little mustard bottle on the field." 😂💀
@itsasouthernthing
Thank you for the first comment that let me know what the heck that line was about, because despite being a Texan from a family that loves football, I never gave a flip about pro teams, let alone college. So the only Southern football rivalries I know anything about are the ones friends were into while I was at grad school in North Carolina, none of which involved Mississippi.
You'll know that both of the wedding couple are NASCAR fans when the ushers ask the guests"Chevy or Ford?"
My parents got married in an episcopal church during lent. That meant no flowers, they had to negotiate music, and it had to be dry (probably for the best)! My mother ate a carrot and a bite of cake, that’s it, all day. All the parents were ready to sock the priest in the jaw before they were an hour into the rehearsal, the day of my grandfather (dads dad: picture a 5’ 2” vary Jewish advertising executive who could get control of a board room with one look) put the fear of God into him. 31 years later my parents still say they would change just about everything except the guests, dress, and each other.
My uncle almost missed his wedding to watch the Arkansas game with his dad, I’m glad to know he’s not the only one. 😂
😂😅😂😅😂 not the Neyland stadium with the mustard bottle. 😂😂😂 Look it’s now a tradition at UT
Try this on for size, how about a "Southern Law Enforcement" wedding. Groom is a cop. Bride works in admin for the state police. Both come from law enforcement families. Fearing the tradition-monster prank from bachelor party, an official bachelor party didn't take place, but a pop up tailgate party did take place in the hotel parking lot. The highlight was when I had too much to drink and tried to pick a fight with three linesmen from Texas A&M, who were visiting a friend at the hotel. We did pull a prank, hiding the rings. The bride wasn't happy when we all pulled our pockets out in a mock search for the rings right at the critical part of the ceremony.
Holy shit
Edit: I did not mean to post this comment in a "Oh my gosh you are a terrible person" kind of way, I meant to post it in a "Oh wow, this sounds really cool" kind of way. Just a small explanation can go a long way for some of you
They probably paid for it with civil asset forfeiture money.
I would not have been happy either. That's not cute or funny.
Lol! Our wedding was 11/05 and had to promise that my reception location could have the college football game on! I called it a compromise for asking a bunch men to get dressed up and come to my wedding!
You missed the dry reception in a church reception hall because the couple’s Baptist.
And somehow the cake is stale ever' time ....
@Julia Winfield KML .... IKR!
Went to one of those. The couple was catholic and it was an up and down thing throughout the ceremony. The reception had no alcohol and no music Everyone just sat around looking at each other. I couldn't wait to leave.
Aunt: “Pardon everyone…please join us for a cake and punch reception downstairs.”
Me: “I hope there’s butter mints”
Reception: butter mints AND mixed nuts! Score.
As a former baptist, those were the worst. I always loved the ones were the couple didn't have a church wedding so they could have alcohol. And music.
Not my DJ playing the Cha-Cha Slide, Cupid Shuffle and The Wobble LMAO
Yeah, Matt....I keep a roll of paper towels in my car. I got a Fivehead and the sweat in summer is ridiculous.
Can we please have more Matt and his dog ( I mean if his dog isn't busy ringing people up at DG) .
@itsasouthernthing
They did a little shout out today to Adam and a dog named Buddy that I am assuming is _his_ dog
That Steel Magnolias reference was spit on! 100% Matt!
@itsasouthernthing
I am a catering server who works a ton of weddings... this video personifies ALL weddings :) One thing- I would LOVE to see the mashed potato bar rather than baked!
Bwwahhaaa that is so funny dont forget the cousin who always comes to hit on the women
His elevator dont go to the top!
How was Your comment posted 2 days ago?
And the bridesmaid whose job it is to distract the old ladies from realizing that the bride is pregnant.
@@Pharaoh_Tutankhamen Maybe he has a time machine app.
@@bubbiesdad I need 2 get me 1 of those
@@deathpyre42 Despite what it looks like, dat bride ant pregnat
If you get married the day of Georgia vs Georgia Tech football , you might as well elope.🤣
Okay, I’m a Southerner born and bred, but nearly every wedding I go to is a church wedding so pretty much none of this is relatable, lol. The food is always good, though.
Same!
I'm a Christian and haven't been to an actual in-church wedding in at least a decade (one renewal, so that doesn't really count). I'm happy to know there are still some folks getting married in church!
I thought the barn was for the reception not the wedding.
@@cookingwithtabitha sometimes both!
Well, at least in my circles, the reception is held at the church fellowship halls generally. No alcohol and all is ever involved.
My former sister in law wanted a barn wedding when she married my brother in law They couldn't find one they could afford, so they settled on a lakefront, but still everyone wore cowboy boots, big belt buckles, and vests. 6 years later they are getting divorced.
Just went to a wedding 7-16 and…… YUP! 😂
My brother's wedding the groomsmen,which I was one of, wore white tux with Colonel Sanders bow ties. My Sister in law wore a white hat with a veil. The mother in law made us take a raisin and asked us to put it on a front tooth and smile at my brother as we passed by him at the altar. He was trying to keep it together.
Needed a hot dog bar with fixins! 😁
"People passin' out everwhwere" lol!!
