2023 Wedding Calendar filling up?

EGD, on August 16, 2022 at 8:50 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 6

We're getting married in 16 short days, but our social calendar for weddings appears to be filling up so quickly I'm getting nervous that we're not going to be able to do them all!

We're at that age where EVERYONE we know is getting engaged and planning a wedding.

FH's cousin is getting married and according to her website (she hasn't sent STD's or anything yet) her wedding date is 10/7/23, my cousin just got engaged and booked her venue for the same exact date.

FH and I already talked about it and in the battle of the two cousins mine wins as we're way closer to mine than his. However, two of our best friends just got engaged this weekend, which we are ECSTATIC about, as I know she's been waiting for it cause they've been together like 13 years since high school, and he told us about it in March so I've been waiting and waiting for her to tell me it happened and now I'm just like "oh crap I hope they don't want 10/7/23" cause I honestly would work SO hard to make their wedding and my cousins wedding work but I would feel horrible about not being able to give both of them the attention they deserve.

I'm so worried the further we go in this year the more 2023 is going to be the year of weddings!

    Our calendar feels the same way, I have back to back weddings one day after the other 5 hours apart Smiley ups

    My rule is: whoever I RSVPed to, I'm going. No matter if I get invited to another wedding later, I will not cancel an RSVP because I want to see someone else get married - that would be crushing if I was the bride who got cancelled on! As a 2023 bride myself, 2023 is definitely the year of weddings LOL

    My mom told me this happened to her whenever my parents got married. She had like 3 other friends who got married within the same month as her! One of her friends actually went to 2 in one day. Just went to the ceremony for one and the reception for the other. That could be an option for you if the weddings are located close together. Best of luck and congratulations!

    I'm sooo nervous I wanna tell me friend "just don't get married 10/7 any other day works!"

    I love ALL aspects of a wedding I'd feel so guilty to have to miss any part of either of their days. These are the only two people I'm concerned about since we already decided my cousin trumps his lol

    I understand that, it's so hard. If you are close enough with them I would honestly let them know! When we scheduled our day I checked with all of our VIPs before setting a date.

    Can u casually say to your friend do you believe both my cousin and h's cousin are getting married on the same day, 10/7/23, what are the odds! Don't even bring it up in regards to her own wedding but at least she ll know you are booked that day. Good luck!

    I agree with Bailey. Whoever gets my RSVP first, that’s whose wedding I’m attending - no takebacks. While that is extremely frustrating, I think most people understand that can happen. Back when we were dating, my husband and I were invited to two weddings on the same day. One was an out-of-town one that we had known about and RSVP’d to months before the other invite came. We politely sent back our “regretfully declines” response card so they wouldn’t be left hanging for plate count.


    If your friend does end up picking the same day, I’d suggest you and your FH arrange a lunch/dinner/hangout with her and husband after the wedding dust has settled (haha) so you guys can catch up and have two-on-two time together. I think they would appreciate that a lot and know that you care!
