Hey y’all,

This may be confusing but I’ll try my best..
MY sister is taking my fiancé’s sisters engagement and wedding photos..
We have not been told when his sisters wedding is by her however my sister (thinking we knew) told me when their date is.. and it’s literally the week before my wedding.. idk what to do..
Do I change my date when though we have no info on hers and she hasn’t shared the date with us.. or Do I leave it because we have our venue, photographer, dj and more..
Help!!!!!!!

    Is your fiancé close with his sister? If so, it seems odd she’d plan for the week before your wedding without telling you. It sounds like the two of them should have a chat.

    Then I would not change the date. I still think they should talk - maybe his sister is having an elopement and it isn’t relevant?

    Are the weddings far apart so you think guests won't be able to travel to both? I'm trying to understand why you would need to change your date when they're not the same day or weekend. It is weird though that they didn't tell you the date.

    The weddings are one week after another.

    I wouldn’t change my wedding based on another person.

    Unless there are a lot of out of state friends and family that would have to travel to both weddings, I wouldn’t worry about it.

    Keep your date. Talk to your fiancé and make him aware.

    Everyone gets one day to celebrate their wedding. So you can’t do anything about what others decide because you only have the one day set aside for your party. Not a month or a week.

    I think she meant distance wise. Are they in very different locations where guests will have to travel?

    No. Leave your date and don’t worry about her plans.

    It’s not about the guest list or having to travel. I’m worried that his family will think differently about us because we have choose and announced our date and they haven’t but they were engaged first

    If you've already told everyone the date, I wouldn't worry about it. There's no rule that says people have to wait for other family members who are engaged to make plans.

    Weddings a week apart, in the same family, are fine. Your relatives have no reasoto complain. The other couple was engaged first, had an opportunity to announce a date before you, and didn't. Where is the problem?

    From a planning point of view, you already booked your venue and major vendors, and announced your date, so do not change anything for made-up rules about who marries first. It is the other couple's business why they chose their length of engagement, that selected date, and why they're not telling anyone. Carry on and do not give yourself more stress.
