The rules of the road in the NFL during the lockout prevent owners from having contact with players. But there are some exceptions.

One exception, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed today at the NFL’s spring meeting, is that he’s allowed to attend the wedding of his quarterback, Tony Romo.

I’ve gotten special permission,” Jones told ESPN. “But more than anything, [I got the] right ticket from him and his fianceé -- Romo’s wife-to-be. [It’s] one of prettiest invitations I’ve ever seen. So, yes, I will be there and [I’m] proud for him. He’s got the best end of this deal.”

Romo will marry Candice Crawford on Saturday in Dallas.
