Nick Saban's family didn't think to look at Alabama's football schedule when arranging a wedding.

The former Alabama head coach revealed on Saturday's episode of College Gameday he had to decline an invitation to his niece's wedding because it was scheduled for the same weekend his team was playing a game.

Saban also said last year he had to turn down an invitation to the wedding of his best friend's daughter because it was scheduled on Dec. 31, one day before Alabama's matchup with Michigan in the College Football Playoff semifinal.
