Wedding Blades.

[ShorehamRevolution]

A lot of people will have been to a wedding with a blades tie/cufflinks or got married in something blades related, or even got married at the Lane. However I’d like this thread to be about how the blades have messed up or made a wedding? I know a bloke who between ceremony and night do pissed off from the rest of the wedding party with his new father in law and went to watch the second half v Watford. Recently I was at a wedding at st James church on a Saturday, forget who we were playing, (Oldham maybe) I spent 80/90 minutes outside listening to the crowd, it seemed like we were 8/9-0 up, i think we won 4-1 but had a few disallowed.

I've mentioned this before, but as the best man at a wedding on 24th September last year I was a bag of nerves during the ceremony. Not because of my impending speech, but because the match was happening at that exact time and I'd turned my phone off to avoid any "distractions." When I eventually got 5 mins to myself after the final whistle, I turned on my phone, looked at the score, then had to take myself away somewhere and just scream in sheer ecstacy at what I was reading. For the rest of the day various family members of the bride and groom kept asking what had me so distracted...

Semi-related...I'm being best man again at a wedding on 22nd December this year...currently predicting there will be a derby on that day, as the football gods seem to have it in for me...

The spare was born on 27th September 2008 Saturday afternoon so buggered it up for me going to match against Watford (I think) must run in family is was born 3rd October 1970 so buggered it up for old man going to the derby.

I was once an all day guest at a family wedding where the majority were pigs and the Blades were at home. After the 12 o clock ceremony it was straight into the meal. Before desert was served I promptly stood up at 2pm, removed my jacket and tie and announced I was off to the match. The then missus already knew my plans but a few were really miffed. I couldn’t see the problem as I could eat my desert when I got back. Sod the speeches, the groom was a boring fucker anyway!
I was back well before the evening doo with a smile on my face and 3 points in the bag

Found out just before my wedding that the vicar was a Wednesdayite, bought him a derby double t shirt which I asked him to wear under his vicar dress. In fairness to him he did!

Also had my own mini Blades wedding cake.

Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it?

The greatest institution in the world imo. But you have to commit to a full membership and not want to hand your season ticket in when results aren’t going your way.

I’m lucky. My missus had a full pre/season before I married her.

No but these pigs look happy

My stupid sister got married on the first day of the season, there would have been major family upset if I’d gone to Carlisle instead of the wedding. I took a portable radio to the reception and listened to the commentary during the wedding breakfast, we won 3 - 0, I don’t even remember what year it was but I do still remember the score.

And the congregation affectionately remember you leaping out of your pew and shouting “Gerrin” as she took her vows.

It’s a very long time ago now but it was something like that!

Just checked the date, 16.08.80. Hatton 2 and Peters. It all went tits up after that, we were relegated to division 4.

That was a great day out and ended up with a better finish to the season than when my sister got married.

Slightly off topic but I went to a friends funeral where the pastor was a girl l'd shagged at school. She even said hello, remembering my name, which was a bonus as she was still fit.

Non of them are happy, typical life of a pig

Hi, I've got 2 tickets for Pigs v Blades but forgot that it's on the same day as my wedding so I can't go.
If you're interested and want to go instead of me...
...it's at St.Mary's, and she's called Jane.

 

[pesch the mini genius]

missed Blackburn home game in the prem when it was 0-0 , bloody pig fans getting married also !

the confusion caused throughout all blades guests at the wedding as to how many penalties had been missed as the text messages piled through !!

I got married at 4pm on 10th October 1987. Throughout the wedding ceremony I kept turning to my mate who was decreetly listening to his tranny radio for updates on our game at Maine road. I got the 'thumbs up' throughout, as the Blades beat Man City 3-2. It was also a Sheffield double day with them lot losing 4-2 at home to Man U.

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

I got married in 1983 at the wedding cake, (register office) afterwards we went in marples for a few, in those days pubs shut around 3ish, that night we had a party in the evening upstairs at marples, meanwhile between 14-30/17-00 all the fellas suited and booted went to watch the raww play Bradford at the lane, Blades winning 2-1, also the wife’s family come from Bradford, they all went on the lane end whilst we were on the south stand, the speeches went down a treat, the first one...your not singing anymore.
My wife knew the score before we married, that is don’t interfere with my beloved Blades, to be fair to her she’s cool about my obsession

Recently went to a friends wedding and wore my blades tie and my wife didn't mind.
After 20 years of marriage, she doesn't interfere with my love of the blades.
Whilst packing last night for our Holiday to Mauritius on Saturday!. She's let me pack 3 blades shirts and an old away shirt that she now claims as hers??. Utb

I never shagged any girl whilst at school. I was 17 and a half before that pleasure befell me - and I'd left school by then. I'd guess only a few kids, out of a couple of thousand, lost their virginity whilst still at school in my day. Although fingering was rife, much more so than today I suspect. The young 'uns of today don't learn the art of fingering - they just go straight for full intercourse, like a bull in a China shop. There's a lot they could learn from us oldies - the art of fingering being one.

Always washing your hands before dinner, being another.

Quite the opposite but I went to the brother in laws wedding and his whole speech was about how important the pigs were and he banged on about how it’s the interest they share and it brought them together. Cringeworthy as fuck. I do sympathise with people who don’t have my good looks and charm though and have to rely on stalking the pig kop of a Saturday afternoon for suitors.

I was on honeymoon in Spain when we played Crystal Palace at Wembley in the play-off final. I was disappointed to miss it when I first realised that we were going to be away. I didn't know the score on the day - I don't think I had access to a smart phone or the internet back then. I bought an English newspaper the next morning from a kiosk in Madrid and the first words I saw were, "Eagles soar again". I knew instantly that we must have lost. When I read about the manner in which we lost - to a last minute long range shot - I wasn't sad I'd missed the game.

I've been to every play-off final since - and strangely enough, none have compared to my honeymoon.
