Entire Wedding Party Wearing Ravens Jerseys: Not sure if I'd go this far, but here's a video of an entire wedding party wearing Baltimore Ravens jerseys. The bride has on a Joe Flacco #5 jersey, while the groom sports a Ray Lewis jersey. Complete with the groom imitating Lewis' pregame dance. No confirmation whether Kyle Boller caught the bouquet.

Did they rent hardened limos and re-enact Ray Lewis leaving the murder scene?

I thought they outlawed same-sex marriages.

That reminds me of Steve Guttenberg's character from Diner, who wouldn't marry his fiance unless she could pass a test on the history of the Baltimore Colts.

Did any of you watch all the way through? I couldn't make it past about 20 seconds.

You know, its their wedding. And, really, this doesn't even scratch the surface of hideous wedding wear.

good grief, they obviously only wore the jerseys for the start of the reception.
Who cares what people do at their own receptions?
They probably couldn't wait to get it on Youtube.

If they didn't want anyone to care what they did at their reception they wouldn't put it on youtube vimeo.

yes, they seemed intent on making others care, I don't

I'm a little surprised that no one on this sports blog is charmed by this.

Not even a little.

NFL must be happy though--all those get your own name on the back jersey commercials are paying off.

Charmed? I'm with Rod Stewart when it comes to weddings.
In case you don't know: "Instead of getting married again, I'm going to find a woman I don't like and just give her a house."

I just posted this comment on the article itself, but I will post it again here.
So apparently we have determined that this author is not a sports fan. Probably a drama geek who does not understand what being a fan is. It is more than possible for you to bring being a sports fan into your life. If football is that important to you, then there is nothing wrong with it being part of your wedding reception. It was the reception at that, a time that you are supposed to celebrate the wedding. This was the most fitting time to do this and this should be applauded.

No accounting for taste I guess. As long as they had fun.
But whatever you do, be sure to get unnecessarily upset about it.

They didn't show the best part.
A few minutes later a snotty ass six year old in a Brady Quinn jersey, blows out the best man's knee.

Being a drama geek who actually is a big sports fan, I'd love to refute this comment. But, since I hang around with a lot other drama geeks, I can attest this is true most of the time.
To be fair, I know a lot of sports geeks who don't understand what being a fan (of theater) is.

I am charmed, but purely because I'm a Ravens fan.

I thought it was fun. Those jerseys are atrocious, but people who are dorks ought to be able to express that at their wedding, whatever their interests may be. I'm a big fan of Trekkers who say their vows in Klingon.

I can not argue this point, in fact I wholeheartedly agree with it. However, the article wasn't about someone being "retarded" for wearing Phantom of the Opera masks as they came out for their reception. This article was someone being narrow minded and getting on the high horse that is an internet blog and spouting off about it.

I agree with your point, Demophon, but I'm surprised you bothered to respond on that blog. All of the snarky sports blogs trying to be Deadspin bore the hell out of me.

I say good for them and screw the people who don't like it. If that is what they wanted who is anyone to say they couldn't do it?
I would like maybe to have a black and gold theme if I would ever get married again, and possibly a Steelers logo on the cake. (The guy I marry would have to be a football fan, wouldn't have to be a Steelers fan though). However, I don't think I would post it on the internet, or call attention to it to anyone other than the people who were there. It is my and my groom's day, and the hell with everyone else.

I think that's what makes the difference between charming and being an attention whore.

I'll bet it was a killer reception.
