I'm probably having my Bridezilla moment here, but I need to vent in a neutral space
My fiance and I got engaged in April 2019 and planned to get married in May 2020. That obviously didn't happen due to Covid, and our second date was also canceled due to Covid concerns. We gave up getting married in 2020 and pushed out to October 2021, calling all our family and guests and letting them know.
Since then, we've been in touch with our guests, letting them know what was going on, and we sent save the dates in April for our wedding. We sent out invitations almost two weeks ago because our caterer needs our final count by the end of August/early September.
Last week, my cousin got engaged. On Sunday, my uncle called my dad to tell him that he wouldn't be able to attend our wedding because my cousin has decided to schedule her wedding for the day after mine.
I. Just. Can't. Even. Believe. It.
My dad's family never gets together, as he and his brothers are spread all over the country. He was so excited to have his brothers together, and I was excited that my aunt and uncle were going to come, as I haven't seen them in eight years.
I'm trying to be a grown up about this. Prior to her announcement of her wedding date, I sent her congratulations, and I am happy for her. But she couldn't pick any other weekend?
I'm so miffed. I would think I was overreacting except that my dad, who never gets upset about anything, is pretty mad about this.
I know logically this will have very little impact on my wedding and all, but what I know logically isn't helping emotionally. Grrr.
Thanks for reading!
