I wouldn't mind others getting engaged right before my wedding, the to someone I didn't like is another story.

It depends on why you don't like the person... if you think they will harm someone in your family, then I would be bothered, if they just 'rub you the wrong way' then I would try to figure out why.

I totally wouldn't mind if someone got engaged right before my wedding? Why would I? I wouldn't expect others to stop living because I am getting married. To someone I didn't like is a whole other story, if the guy was a jerk I would be really concerned!

i wouldn't mind at all! it's not my life to control-even if you don't like the person. believe me, my brother married a girl none of us liked and now they're divorced. no one could have stopped him in the beginning though. just enjoy YOUR day!!

Re: Others Getting Engaged

I got engaged two months before my sisters wedding, We never did it to intentially hurt them. They were nothing but thrilled for us.

Re: Others Getting Engaged

I was slightly offended when FI's brother got engaged three days..yes days after us. He had known for months we were getting engaged. I thought it was just in bad taste. They are planning on getting married 1 month after us. While I am happy for them...honestly I would have been a little happier if there was more time in between.

Re: Others Getting Engaged

This is a long story!
My FH's brother was engaged and planning a wedding we were talking about getting engaged and he did not want to rain on his brother parade. So I figured an getting engaged was on the back burner, until the day he surpised me and we got engaged. I found that he had spoken to his brother and he was fine with it.
But after we got engaged (a few days)and were trying to figure out a wedding date his other brother tells us that he is getting married on such and such a date at such and such a place, mind this couple was not even engaged yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So his Witch of a girl friend planned her wedding on the day she wanted, where she wanted so we could not take the day of the place! So then I minded!

Re: Others Getting Engaged

I was engaged before my sister (older) and her bf at the time was very concerned how she would react...

then he was also concerned with not ruining our moment...I think I took him to the side and told him that life is too short to wait for my wedding...and that he shouldn't feel obliged to wait...

they were engaged 5 months before our wedding and got married 3 months afterwards...


the not liking part...I have no idea what I would do...there are some things my BIL does that makes me squoosh up my nose...but I don't see him like my sister does...

DH's doesn't like his SIL at all (nor does his mother), but he does know that she loves his brother and he loves her...and they stay out of it (for the most part )

Mu stepsister got engaged shortly after me and is getting married 6 weeks after me. I was a little annoyed, but waht can you do? It sound selfish, so I just have to deal.

Re: Others Getting Engaged

I would LOVE it if someone from my family got engaged at any time. My cousin got engaged the weekend beforee my shower, I announced it to the whole shower.

At FSIL's wedding, she was all p1ssy bc FH and I were lovey dovey, and she thinks we were showing up her and her new husband. Well, if they had between them an ounce of the love that FH and I have between us, we wouldn't have outshined anyone. (And we weren't trying to, we can't help it if we are happy around each other and like to give each other little smooches.)

Re: Others Getting Engaged

I was on the other side of this. My FI proposed to me 5 weeks after his brother proposed. I had no clue he was doing this but his brother and his brothers FI did, they were not happy about it, at hall, and they like me! I felt for a while that they weren't happy about our engangment and I think resented us for it. It became hard when it was time to book a place, because I wanted to wait for her to book something before we did, so I kept asking what months she was looking at because I knew halls would get booked quickly. It is now 9 months since I have gotten enganged and our wedding is 8 months apart. I am in May, and she is in December. We are all getting along now and I dont think there is any resentment. Plus I think she likes the fact that we are getting married first so she can see how things are done which is fine by me because I like helping them.

Anyway, I think you should be happy for them regardless if you like them or not because I was hurt. As much as you might think you show excitement your true feelings will always show. It's a happy time and a time when family's should grow closer together.

My sister, who I don't get along with hardly at all, just announced that she is getting married in February or March. How convenient, since we are getting married in January. I don't really care though cuz she has always had this problem with me.

Re: Others Getting Engaged

you just have to remember that life goes on...and people don't want to put their life on hold...


I knew my sister wanted a fall wedding and she is not getting any younger...it would be very selfish of me to be upset b/c she had the wedding of her dreams 3 months after me...
