my sister is planning her planning too close to mine
Hi. My fiance and I have been planning our October wedding for over one year. On Saturday, my older brother proposed to his girlfriend. My fiance and I have been engaged longer than they have been dating. We decided on a longer engagement to save money for our wedding. My father passed away a few years ago and we need to save for the big day. My brother and his new fiancee are in a very different financial situation and do not need to wait. They want to plan their wedding for August - 2 months before mine. They cannot see why I am so upset by this. To make matters worse, neither can my mother. Am I wrong to be upset? I feel as though they are stealing our thunder and putting a lot of pressure on our family members to attend two weddings for the same family in two months. I want to know if there is some formal etiquette to planning weddings too close, especially in our given situation. Thank you.

No, there is no specific number of days or months that family should use as a guide line when planning weddings. We just use common sense and courtesy. Two months is typically viewed as plenty of time in between the two weddings. This should be fine.
