Haha well if you must know...we wanted to get married in Knoxville because we love the city. We got engaged after 4 years last October and needed about a year to plan. Conveniently visited the Standard in Knoxville the Friday before the Mizzou game (my excuse to go to the game), loved the venue and then had to pick a date. Didn't want to get married on a home game, definitely didn't want to get married on the UF game, and all the bye weeks were already booked. So we thought...ok, Labor Day weekend, a crap game that we'll def win will be on at the reception, and our guests can attend (the last) BoomsDay. Crowne Plaza gave us a killer deal on like 30 rooms so it's going to be a great weekend.
And to prove my VFL status, we're not going on a honeymoon until AFTER the Oklahoma game and then we'll be making another trip to Knoxville for the WCU game. If I don't bleed orange then I don't know who does lol.
