Help! My fiance and i always wanted an October wedding. We just got engaged over Christmas 04. Less than a month ago his sister was engaged and is having a Nov. wedding. We really want to be married in 05. Most of the family will have to travel for both weddings. about 6 hours by car. My fiance's mother has asked that we try to spread them out by 4 months? How? It would be impossible. Are we being difficult by just planning our date in Oct and her wedding will follow in Nov? We've all had back to back weddings, or am I being difficult? I don't want to wait till 06 just b/c she's engaged too? I do realize this will be a lot for family but what do you do? We want to get on with our lives and be married this year. Any input?
Sometimes we must, as adults, make decisions and concessions based on what's happening around us. After all, your sister in law was engaged before you so now, to be considerate of your family and friends, you will have to schedule your wedding around hers.
If the month of the year is really that important than wait until 2006; if you absolutely HAVE to be married in 2005 then try to consider the traveling dilemma and schedule the wedding at least a month apart from your sister in law. Remember, these guests will probably be invited to pre-wedding parties for both of you plus the actual wedding day. These showers and wedding gifts could get costly.
I suggest you and yyuor groom really discuss the pros and cons and make your date choice after some talk. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
