Just Said Yes February 2022

Advice

Angie, on July 5, 2021 at 10:48 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7
I am getting married this February and have had my date/venue booked for a little over a month, my fiancé’s cousin is also engaged but is just starting to plan his wedding. We have a really good relationship with his cousin and his soon to be wife, we talk wedding plans often, and today they were over for a bbq and she informed me she was thinking about having her ceremony first and then a reception 6+ months later, the date she would want for the ceremony is 3 days before my wedding. I am really bothered by this and I know it will cause drama, but don’t want to say anything yet before It’s a set plan. I really don’t think I am overreacting, I would never do this to someone I’m even slightly close with. I really want to hear other opinions and how you would handle it! Thank you!!!

    What exactly about it bothers you? February 22 is a Tuesday, which is not a typical choice; is it possible that particular date holds significance in their relationship (i.e. day they met, dating anniversary, etc.)?

    If its not on the same day or even the day before/after I don’t see the issue. If you have people coming from out of town it would actually be convenient.

    Did they say why they wanted that particular date? Are they aware when your date is? Would the same people have to travel far to go to her ceremony and then to your wedding or are both local to most guests?

    I would assume her ceremony is small/intimate (family only) especially being on a Tuesday and she just is stuck on 2/22/22 for her anniversary date. The reception is "the party"/celebration and 6 months away. I wouldn't think a thing of it!

    Ah, I think you nailed it! They want to get married on "2s-Day" Smiley laugh Makes a lot more sense.

    Did it occur to you they may be setting the split ceremony and reception around the other family, someone who could not go otherwise, and is equally ( or due to illness etc, more) important than a cousin? People I would not want to conflict with. Cousin, small overlap in guests, who would check there first?

    It’s your fiancé’s cousin, so if anyone would be affected by it most it would be or fiancé. So they care? If not, problem solved. If so, why? The only reason people have a valid reason to mind is if people will miss their wedding for someone else’s but doesn’t sound like that will be an issue.
