Dull football weekend a great time for a fall wedding in Alabama

Like any engaged couple, Haleigh Duff and Dillon Sims took into account multiple factors when selecting a date for their upcoming wedding.

Toward the top of their list of concerns was an issue that rings true across the South, particularly in their football-crazy home state of Alabama.

"I know if it would have been a big game, half my friends wouldn't have wanted to come," Sims chuckled.

And not only that, the newlyweds -- Duff is an Auburn graduate and Sims earned his degree at Alabama -- wouldn't get to watch the big game, either. Totally unacceptable.
