A conversation with FH today brought this question to my mind. He is a Steeler fan and I am a Vikings fan so there are usually no conflicts during the watching of football on Sundays. But today's discussion of weddin colors became a gigglefest (for me) and sheer horror (for him)
I was talking about the guest book and mentioned that we would need to get black and sliver sharpies for people to write on the pages (differeing shades of dark and light purple). In a horrified voice, FH declares that black and silver cannot be in our wedding colors because the guys from work (and close friends) will question his Steelers loyalty if Raiders colors are our wedding colors. I reminded him that purple and black are the primary colors and that silver is just being used as an accent. He then begins to talk about how nicely gold goes with purple and black ... I had trouble talking at this point because I was laughing so hard ... After 20 minutes I still could not convince him that silver accents would not jepordize his standing in the Steeler Nation. It is then only time he has every even commented on the colors we are using. I guess I can tell the football lockout is over and preseason will be here soon ...
Has anyone else had this discussion?
