Re: Two weddings/one family/one summer?

That really stinks... and I see why you feel so strongly about it! But don't let them bring you down--I'm trying (with my own plans) to keep my chin up and not get stressed and try to enjoy this, because it's the only time I'll ever do it. I keep trying to tell myself, well, its MY day with MY FH, OUR day, not anyone else's, and let them complain about whatever they want whenever they want, because it's my way!

I think my friend is going to call up the FSIL and tell her, not ask her, that they picked July and why. They are very different people and will have different weddings... but I still think the sister might freak out a little.

Doesn't it stink that so many problems stem from something that is so amazingly wonderful?

Re: Two weddings/one family/one summer?

I got enggaed in February, set the date in April...My first cousin got engaged in may, set the date in June for next June...4 months before me! I could not be happier....its fun talking weddng talk with her...and I am just soo excited for her that if she had it the week before mine, I would be just as happy for her! But, this is a little different than siblings...

Re: Two weddings/one family/one summer?

YOu are right, maybe my friend and her FSIL can plan together!! That would be the ideal situation... comparing vendors, dress shopping... I really hope that happens!!!

Re: Two weddings/one family/one summer?

I think that it really shouldn't matter. I totally agree with papabear in that if it's not the sae day , go for it. Sometimes things just work out this way.
