My h2b want to get married and have all the trimmings at his favourite football club. Now I know its his big day as well. I just don't support the same football team as him. Its very cheap and save time look for different venues. I have looked into it and the club help me find accommodation for me and my guests. He also wants to move the the wedding day up as i wanted to wait to get married in 3 years time. Now i don't want to be selfish but i never picture my wedding day at a football club. But i still booked a viewing to see the rooms. Not to be spoiled but I've always pictured a wedding at a country house. The funny thing about it is he hasn't been interested in what i was planning until he watch a bloke get married a stoke on don't tell the bride. Now I know what ever happens I gonna marry the love of my life but I just don't want any arguments about football on our big day. Plus he sent me all the information himself. Lol. And if you know thin you would knows its a big deal. Lol. Xxx

No, big fat hell no !!!! You just have to put your foot down.. Tell him getting married at a football ground would make you miserable and that's the last thing you want on your wedding day.. Choose a NON football related venue and maybe add little bits from both your teams into the day, like colours or name 2 tables after each team etc xxx
I can't wait to become his Wife :-)

I find this funny because I'm actually considering having my event at my football club because it is a massive cost savings compared to other local venues. Rather than making a big stink over this you could tell him that you'll take his suggestion under consideration, but that you still want to look at other venues. Have a look at all the venues you like and then you two can discuss which one is the best for you.

Absolutely not! Its not appropriate... and is ridiculously chavvy, IN MY OPINION! (Sorry if you have gotten married or are doing so at a football club!). How can he be taking it seriously if hes bringing bloody football in to it?! And if he doesn't take into consideration your feelings on this, then hes being totally out of order. Its a wedding day, not a dedication to his team. Its a dedication to you and each other.
I think you need to sit down and talk to him about why you don't want it; yes it is his day too but you need to agree on a venue together :)
Met in 2009
Got together on12th May 2011, proposed on the 12th May 2013
When you get knocked down; smile and pick yourself up again!

I personally wouldnt want mine at a football club after seeing DTTB at Stoke! but some football grounds have very nice rooms and you can jazz them up and personalise them.
CommentAuthorTaidiN

there has to be some compromise ! I live in Stoke and cringed my way through that episode of don't tell the bride, I know you would have more say than her, but there needs to be elements of both of you in your day - good luck xx
CommentAuthorValentinaK
Nice compromise! You'll have a great marriage... and a great wedding...now its not at a footie club! ;)
And we lived happily ever after!
CommentAuthorElinor Claire
Sounds reasonable. You could look at getting a card or letter from the club for a wedding gift for him. A number of people on here have done it. You can get something signed by the manager and players. I'm not bothering as my H2B, although he supports Bournemouth and Newcastle, is not particularly fanatical about it.
30th August 2014 was the best birthday ever.
It was the day that I became Mrs. Dixon.

That episode of DTTB was awful, I would have been gutted if I was her. Though i do generally think women seem to care more about the over all 'look' than men, it also made me realise just how selfish some women can be as well. Tell him you need to find something you both agree on, as there's just no way I'd want a footy theme wedding, I'd happily incorporate it, with the colour theme or table names or something, it should be a reflection of both of you not just one of you. I don't think there was a single thing at that stoke wedding that was about her. It was vile.
Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey
*Kelbel* is my wedding twinny!
CommentAuthorValentinaK
I think SOME brides can be very superficial about it, but industry and societal pressures and expectations make them that way!
And we lived happily ever after!

Thing with the football is that we live in North west London and the club is in south london. we have two young children. So logistics is hard to sort out. So we had a long talk and are gonna have the wedding close to home. As most of his family is east london. But he understands that and he had asked for the little football game that was on dttb and i really liked the idea of having that for the kids and watch all the grown men acting like two years as i can just see my oh trying to show off badly. Lol. Xxxxx
