My cousin is getting married 2 weeks after me. We just look at it as nmore reasons for our family to celebrate!

thats exactly how my fam is looking at it!!

i'm getting married a month after my cousin..
everyone actually liked the idea and is looking forward to both..

talk to her and see what she says....

i was worried about that with one of my friends and it turns out shes not even going to be able to come to my wedding! nice, right!

I got married in early July and my cousin got married in early August. Most of our family made it to both weddings and it was no big deal. You have a couple of months between your weddings, I don't think she should mind. You have to do what's best financially for yourself. Good Luck!

I would plan your wedding when you want to have it. You shouldn't feel like you have to make everyone happy. its your day. 2 of my friends got married one weekend after the next in the same month. Nobody was complaining about have to go to 2 weddings in 2 weekends. Everyone had a great time. Plan it when you want to. Thats what I would do.

I think the right thing to do is ask, BUT, know that if you ask, you're basically then stuck w/whatever she decides. If she says she wants you to wait, then you're kind of stuck. You could always just say you changed your mind...

Re: Stealing her Thunder?

Talk to her about it...maybe she won't react how you think she will. Or perhaps you can wait until shortly after her? Feb or March 08?

Best of luck and keep us posted!

I think that if you want to get married w/a few month gap in between her wedding that is totally acceptable!!

My cousin is getting married 2 weeks before me but engaged after me and i just found that completely annoying. But if it were in different months i wouldnt mind at all. Do whats best for you!
