I posted last week about my cousin booking his wedding a week before ours, well nothings changed. I spoke to my family and said I would be willing to change (even though 10/12 is my Grandparents 60th Anniversary).
The only thing is, I am changing it to 10/19. Do you think that's enough time to give everyone? 2 weeks? Its better than 1 week, right? HELP! LOL
I can't make it any later than that b/c of my best friends wedding on 11/2.

Re: Ongoing saga...need to change my date.
Why won't your cousin change his/her date? I think it's rude to have scheduled it right before yours!
WIll a lot of your family have to travel for the weddings? You don't want them to be too close to each other if there's a lot of travel involved. If I were you I'd move your wedding up so it was before your cousins!

I wish I can change it to September, but I will be in school until August and I'm afraid I may get too crazed...........

gotcha I did not see this post! I think 2 weeks is reasonable ~ the only thing is do you have out of town family? because then if it was a week apart would be better...if not two weeks should be good! sorry to hear after all you have to change your date!

Re: Ongoing saga...need to change my date.
I say move it to September BEFORE your cousin! My cousin booked his wedding three weeks before mine and I was not too happy, but ONE WEEK BEFORE?? I would definitely move it before your cousin. By the way, why do you have to change your date?? Why doesn't your cousin switch dates????

The week BEFORE your cousins may give you enough time... I know, I'm spiteful...

Re: Ongoing saga...need to change my date.
I kind of agree with the spiteful ones...j/k
If they are THAT flippin stubborn and the date held such meaning, I never would've folded...BUT since you are being the better person, I'd have one vengeful moment and seriously make it BEFORE theirs just so that if people have to choose, they'll likely choose yours...cause it's first.

Re: Ongoing saga...need to change my date.
I would do september ... just start doing all the little things you can do now so come aug you have NOTHING or very little to do! take care of all the things early.. you got a year to do it all.. speed it up to 6 months.. then you have another 6 to just chill out and take your time doing a few odds and ends..

Re: Ongoing saga...need to change my date.
i like the idea of b4..they screwed w/ your date so now you do it right back! if you can do that id keep it on the day you had orginally bc 1 extra week isnt much and atleast the 1st day is for a sentimental reason!

I know, and I totally agree that I should do it before his! But I have my heart set on October, for many reasons, the colors, the weather, and its FH's and my favorite month......

The people who were going to come, will come whether it's a week apart or a year apart.

Here's the thing to remember, if Aunt Ethel has to come out from Kansas twice in a month, she's likely going to pick the first one she sees/comes across...If there are people from OOT you REALLY want there, you are better off being first because many will have to choose between the 2 weddings which one they'll attend if they are in the same month. Most people aren't jumping to buy 2 round trip flights to the same area within a couple of weeks, especially if they have to buy tickets and hotels for themselves and their kids...I'd think really hard about this and then pick a date and send out some STDs VERY soon so that even if you aren't first, they know about yours first! Make it something awesome and cute that they'll be sure to remember and refer to. It's not fair and you had a GREAT original date...and honestly, it's a shame you had to budge. Very cruel of your cousin IMHO.

I know how you feel, but I'm going to be in school until mid-May and my wedding is June 1st....maybe you can hire a DOC to help you with the details? But why not move it to September? I think it's going to make you MORE crazed by dealing with not stepping on your cousin's wedding and the wedding on 11/02.
