Re: is this messed up or what??

I agree with the other posters that you shouldn't be upset. We had 3 weddings to go to tin he 3 months leading up to our wedding, one of which was only 3 weeks before ours. These were cousins of my DH's. We had another cousins wedding 2 weeks after ours and then another one 2 weeks after that. It most certainly didn't take away from our day.

I understand that some brides don't want anything to 'take away' from their wedding but how can you ask someone NOT to get married before you. Isn't it a bit 'controlling'?

Nothing will happen to your wedding. It's your day.

For those who wonder if you can do it in 3 months. Yes, it's possible, I booked all my vendors in 1.5 months and got everything done.

I agree with most of the posts it will not take away from your at all. It is not like it is you brother or sister, where they are stealing the spotlight. I had that happen and between my brother and sister they got married within 4 months of each other and my family couldn't be happier. My brother even had a baby so there was alot going on and it all went smoothly. There is enough happiness to go around and on your day everyone will be excited for you and vice versa,So do not worry also you mentioned they have been together for a long time so I can see why they would want to do it right away and it is definitely possible to put something together in a few months and actually get some great deals!!!

There is no way the wedding of two selfish people who obviously don't give a hoot about others is going to ruin yours. Besides, do you really think they are going to be able to find a catering hall to have an all out LI wedding between now and then?

I agree - three months away? Let's see if it happens.

My FH's cousin just got engaged 2 nights ago and have been dating for about 7 years. They just decided to get married in August which is 2 months before my wedding which I have been planning for a year and a half now! Couldn't they wait another few months until I had mine first?!
What nerve! My SIL called me last night and felt terrible and no one knows how to approach them and tell them they shouldnt do this. Plus there is a baby shower, my bridal shower and now their wedding all in one month? Do they even consider what is going on? NOOOOOOOOOO...
sorry had to vent!! Could anything else ruin my wedding?

im sure this wont ruin your wedding.
and you should be glad they didnt choose to do it the same month as your own wedding.
i woulndnt tell them not to do this.
i had one of my cousins make her wedding three weeks before mine. and yes i was pissed but what can you do? nothing just be happy for them. it wont Ruin your wedding!!!! silly bride there wedding will be long over before yours even begins. i had about 6 weddings last year and non of them ruined another by being months or a month apart.

I know what you are going through. I am in a similar situation and my sister is having twins right before my wedding!! I know you can't help but feel a little slighted, things like this happen. Here are some hugs:
