Welcome to Pop The Question, a weekly space to dissect every aspect of wedding madness. Each Tuesday, we'll ask a question (sometimes there might even be a poll!), you'll share answers and stories, and then we'll bring you the best of the bunch on Thursdays. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll fly into a total rage over something that doesn't actually matter … it will be just like your wedding day.
March Madness kicks off (tips off? Tips off.) today, providing the perfect backdrop for this week's PTQ topic: Tell us all about how sports played a role in your engagement and/or wedding!
We should go broad for this one — did you have a Jumbotron engagement? An NFL-themed Save the Date? Did you take the World Series into account when setting a date for your wedding? Was your officiant a professional athlete? Did your local American Hockey League team host your ceremony? (Mazel to John & Jill!)
Show us your team pride, and we'll huddle up on Thursday to snap our towels at the people with the very best stories.

DISCUSSION
My brother's. Hoooo-boy.
My brother acts like he played professionally for the Colorado Rockies, instead of an intermural softball team in a small town. She, my sister in law (who I actually love but this is just something I cannot wrap my mind around) never liked baseball, but suddenly became the most die hard baseball fanatic in the Rocky Mountains. Proposal? Tricked her into thinking going to baseball game, instead proposed. Engagement pics? Holding baseball, he is in baseball jersey. Wedding theme? Dodger Blue and white. Not royal blue. Not cobalt. Dodger Blue. Venue? A GODDAMN SOFTBALL FIELD. Table decorations? Baseballs and cracker jacks. Table assignments were baseball stadiums.
I'm eloping.
