My fiance and I got engaged in June of this year. His brother got engaged in July of this year. We have been planning a wedding for End of April/ Beginning of May 2009. They just announced they're planning their wedding in March 2009. What do I do? I am upset about this, but don't want to seem petty. My mother is very very upset about this. I don't feel that it's right for them to have planned theirs so close to ours, yet I don't feel comfortable saying anything to anyone about it. What do I do?

There really aren't strict guide lines and rules about how close to schedule our weddings. But, these are just a few weeks apart. That isn't good.
The date all of you became engaged really doesn't matter. Some will prolong their engagement for years.
If neither of you have scheduled a venue, then there is wiggle room. One of you could change your plans. The couple who first announced their date should have priority. But, that doesn't always happen, especially when a couple must schedule their wedding for a serious reason--like one of them being deployed.
So, it may be best to ask your fiance to speak to his brother about this. Perhaps all of you could come together to find a solution.
