Dates to remember

There is a buzz in the air - footy-lovers all over the country are adorning themselves and their unwitting children in team colours, hearts are pounding and cheers, chants and yells can be heard from lounge-rooms across the country - the footy season is here.
You may think, so what? But think again! It prompts the thought that there are some very important dates to work around when you are organizing your wedding... that is if you want your groom to attend! If you set the date for your nuptials on a significant footy date, you may be hard-up finding enough guests to fill your reception - it would be cheaper, but probably not as enjoyable.
To make sure you don't lose your guests, here is a list of dates to kick off your possible wedding date list:

• Bledislow Cup - 31st July, 7th August, 11th September.
• State of Origin - 26th May, 16th June, 7th July.
• 2010 Toyota AFL Grand Final - 25th September.
• Remember to also check out when your groom's team is playing if he is in one.
  

So get your diary out and put a big red line through these dates and avoid double booking your hubby-to-be.
