Honestly...I think you are overreacting. 4 months after yours is a pretty long time, it gives people time to chill after your wedding before getting hyped up for hers. I think its unreasonable to be upset over the date that they chose, I'm sure they had a lot of reasons for choosing that particular one. You are entitled to your feelings, but at the same time I would just let it go. When you get married it is your DAY and your MONTH, sure...but not your YEAR.
Agreed!!

Hello Ladies Is it normal for siblings to get married 4 months away from each other?
I'd be so happy for my sister, no matter when she got married. 4 months apart is a lot of time, so I really wouldn't even think twice about it. You each have your own special day - no matter how close or far apart they are from each other.

Honestly, it makes it extremely difficult for the guests, especially if you are having a lot of OOT guests. Think of the travel expenses, hotel costs, gift, outfits, etc. It adds up. And for people in the WP, forget about it if they are going to be in both! If my sister was engaged before me, I wouldn't book my wedding 4 mos. after hers. But that's just MHO.

Re: Is it messed up?
My cousin and I are getting married four months apart and I believe we are both very happy for each other. We are each in the bridal party and have really helped each other out with the planning.
I think four months is long enough....honestly I think anything over 3 months is a good amount of time to space things out.
On the other hand, you can't control how you feel. Some people would be upset and others wouldn't care. You can't control your emotions.

Me and my bro are getting married 6 months apart and we don't see it as a problem. Oh yeah, and then my cousin is getting married 2 months after me.

Re: Is it messed up?
Dont get me started on this! FH and I always wanted to get married 10/10/10. We told everyone this even before we were engaged. But we had to move it, because my cousin was going to get married 9/26/2010 and thats insanely to close and wouldnt exactly be cool with my family. But when they called off their wedding we started planning for 10/10/10 again. So not even a week after we started planning I get a call from my mom saying that My sister valerie was planning to renew her vows 9/18/2010! So you can imagine how irrate i was. So finally after much screaming and ranting and raving because she is already married. (She eloped like 5 years ago and only told us she was married last december. ) I moved my date to 7/10/11. And she's been at war with me ever since! It's a cruddy situation but Im dealing because I know my wedding is going to be bigger and more meaningful but its still aggrivating. Because now whatever I decide I want to do, she magically gets the same idea...two days after I tell my mom the idea...hmmm.. So I feel ya.
