When my wife and I were planning our honeymoon six months in advance of our September 28th wedding date, we made a huge strategic error that caused us much heartache.  We mistakenly booked our honeymoon through the biggest regular season game of the year, the October 6th game with the Florida Gators coming into Death Valley.

 

So, I approached my wife with a proposition. We could cut our honeymoon short a day, lose half of the money we purchased at an all-inclusive resort, pay fees to change our flights, and because of the lack of flight availability, fly into Houston, TX rent a car and drive overnight to make it into Baton Rouge at 4:00am on Saturday morning.  The other option was to sell our tickets, pocket the cash, sit back and enjoy another day in one of the most beautiful parts of the world.

For most people, there would be no choice at all.  How many wives would even contemplate canceling their honeymoon a day and jumping through hoops to get back for a mere pigskin game?

 

Needless to say, we made an excellent decision because we witnessed one of the greatest football games of all time.  It put an exclamation point on a wonderful honeymoon and made our journey just that much more special!

 

Geaux Tigers!
