Ok so get this... I know its late... i guess i really need to vent to the board. Thanks in advance for those of you who actually read this long vent. Here goes... I booked my wedding back in Feb for May 2010. My two other cousins got engaged around the same time (annoying i know). So as luck would have it....my FOURTH cousin (i have a bigggg family) just recently got engaged in may of THIS year. I was the FIRST ONE TO book my hall, and the second to get engaged (not planned).
I told one of my good friends I booked my hall for may of next year,back in feb. She told me that ,my cousin (who she is good friends with and im not) that she planned on booking in fall of 2010. When my friend told her i booked for may, all of a sudden she booked in April(on my bday- im sure she didnt know it was my bday but she did know when my wedding was!!!!) which is fine, w.e. NOW the thing I AM PISSED at and the point that I am getting at is.. my 1st cousin (moms brothers daughter) who recently got engaged in may booked her wedding for the second week in april!!!!! i told her in MAY (a few months ago) and said 'look i booked my wedding for may 2010 back in feb, just letting you know' Because I didn't want weddings back to back. I dont know why her dumb *** would possess her to book literally two weeks before my wedding!! is she a moron?!?!?!? Especially in this economy, the same guests have to attend three weddings within a month and bridal showers back to back. ***?!?! MEANWHILE, i was the first one to book out of all of them!!!
I was even going to say something to the cousin that booked two weeks before my wedding like,' *** how rude is that?'. My dad was so pissed, hes like im going to confront your uncle and aunt when i see them lol.
SOrry for the long vent... I just think that by the time my wedding rolls around, some people might not want to attend =( after attending three bridal showers back to back, then three weddings= $$$$$$$ Unfortunately theres nothing I can do because its booked. But UGHHHH!!!!!! I REALLY WANNA SLAP HER!

If you haven't already done so, hurry and send out your Save The Dates (didn't wanna type STDs). This way, if people feel like they must choose, yours came first to them...they don't know that you booked first.
I agree, make sure they know your date as soon as possible. I don't know why girls have to be so petty just to get married before someone else. And it's worse when it's family that does it.
But you know they save the best for last, so your wedding will be great. And don't share your wedding plans with everyone; you don't want anyone stealing your wedding ideas.

Re: long vent!!! wedding conflict.... ugh
Thank you girls so much. As I was reading each one of your comments, it made me feel a whole lot better. I know I am not like some of you, who are constantly chatting on these boards and have like 6,000 +comments :( but it feels good to be heard.
My dad also said we should have my shower earlier than all of theirs. If my wedding is in May and there weddings are in April, how early should I have my shower? One of their wedding is on April 3rd! (my birthday! ) so there goes my shower idea of having it on my bday lol.
I hate to have my shower when its sooo cold out (i hate winter weather) but obv I have no option. What is a good time to send out the invites, the only thing with that is, if I send it out too early, will some people lose their invites and or forget about the wedding? haha.
I do NOT in any way shape or form want to sound messed up for thinking this.. but in order to make myself feel better about the situation, I keep telling myself 'My hall is better than theirs' lol. I know that is wrong of me. Watch, with my luck, everything will go wrong with my hall the night of my wedding lol. Anyways, thank you girls so much. Hopefully you can help me come up with clever DIYS or cute ideas. I love reading about the Brides Review section, where i can actually see pictures of the ideas that some of the brides have come up with.
Again, much thanksssss ladiesss, it feels really good to have others understand where im coming from. <3

Re: long vent!!! wedding conflict.... ugh
Family can totally stink sometimes! My cousin got engaged a few months before me and booked her hall right away for labor day next year. Even though there are not too many overlapping people I purposely left at least a month in between her wedding and mine. It turns out there is almost 3! I would def have your shower before theirs... maybe a valentines day brunch or something? Alsi, I would send STDs out quick!

Re: long vent!!! wedding conflict.... ugh
So sorry that would bother me too. I mean that was very inconsiderate of her. And you were the FIRST to plan everything
