We finally chose a date. and what i didn’t realize is that NEXT year the date happens to fall on my best friends daughters 16th birthday. her sweet sixteen. her 15th hasn’t even happened yet. but my bff is upset and was shocked i picked that date and now has made me feel like i need to change it. we love the feel of the date and flow of it. i don’t want to change it but i also don’t want my bff to not be happy or excited with me about my big day. she doesn’t want her daughter to feel like HER special day is getting put on the back burner. basically because of me taking her day to have my wedding on. i’m really struggling with this. any advice.

    And this is why I walked down the aisle solo with the exception of aunts who served as Flower Ladies, I did not want the drama. And trust drama and hurt feelings will emerge. My wedding was last Saturday, and as the day drew closer and on that day I lost two dear friends whose jealousy ( a word I hate) was prioritized over our happiness and the wedding guest experience we tried to create. It was there all along (envy) our happiness just made it more transparent. Do you Boo and don’t be afraid to go it alone if need be. You owe no one anything but an opportunity to experience your happiness. And if they don’t accept that invite they can kick rocks. Some people just don’t understand the assignment.

    I hate that you had to go thru all of that. People blow me away in how self centered they can be, how they can't give others a chance to shine - so sad, but I love your attitude and we do not owe anyone anything to experience our happiness. I am so happy for you and congratulations to you guys on your marriage! Thanks for this response too.

    It is true that can you not please everyone but I can kinda understand not wanting to miss her daughter's sweet sixteen birthday. Your wedding is important to you and maybe she knows her daughter's 16th birthday will be important to her, both are special days in a person's life. I would not want to have to pick between my bff and my daughter, someone is bound to get their feelings hurt. You don't have to switch the date but she may decide not attend. Will the daughter be invited to the wedding if so maybe do a little something special for her. Good luck!

    Don’t overthink it… if she says she’s making alternate plans for her daughter than take it for what it is. It’s fixed it’s done. Don’t dwell on it. If she has I’ll feelings about it it’s on her to express it not for you to try to pull it out or create it. 🤎
