SOUTH BEND, Ind. — There was a wedding reception at Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday. This isn’t a football analogy. A small wedding reception found its way into the east side of Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday to watch the now-No. 3 Irish scramble by Louisville, 12-7, and, of course, to celebrate nuptials and whatnot.
One of the caterers earns most of his income behind the bar of a local microbrewery. He paused there while pouring an amber Sunday when he overheard talk of Notre Dame’s 4-0 record. He told his customers he had been at the game — more precisely, he was at a wedding reception.
