My fiance and I got engaged in December 2005, and decided to get married this year. His cousin and his fiance got engaged before us last year and are also planning a 2006 wedding. I talked to her about venues and dates before I started booking - my goal was for august (and I didn't want to call any of her venues)- but unfortunatly all venues I was interested in were full until September. I tentativley booked a place and let her know the one that I wanted - in Sept. She told me that she had not yet started looking but wanted to do it in October. She said that this way okay with her. I have now since firmly booked - deposits and everything. She is still thinking about October, but has not planned anything, she says she is ok, but I worry I stepped infront of her, and feel like some in my fiance's family are a little upset (even though we are all friends). Was this inconsiderate? I probalby would have waited if she had anything set, but she dosent, and hasent even started her plans so I thought it would be okay - was this wrong? Is it enough that I didn't call any of the venues she was thinking about and made sure that our colours were different or should i have waited?

Re: [Chun] How close is too close (wedding dates)?
[In reply to]
Dear Wants to be Considerate,
You did nothing wrong. You contacted her to make sure that your date and venues were fine with her. This is very considerate. She had a very long time to make her plans. Plus, you gave her first preference of sites.
