Falling leaves, pumpkin patches and cool weather make autumn a pleasant atmosphere for a wedding. In the South, however, couples need to address another key factor: college football.
The Washington Post analyzed the number of fall weddings that took place in different regions of the country in 2024. It revealed a surprising difference in fall wedding frequency between the South and other parts of the United States.
“In the markets of the current SEC teams, 83% of idle Saturdays saw a higher frequency of weddings than the nationwide mark for that day, ” Washington Post sports writer Emily Giambalvo reported.
