Bridesmaid getting married 1 week after me...

Bailey, on October 11, 2016 at 1:36 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 108

Should I be annoyed that one of my bridesmaids who just recently got engaged like as in over the weekend and has chosen to get married the weekend after me?? I honestly feel like it's very rude. Not to mention the fact that myself and FH won't be able to attend due to us being on our honeymoon.

Am I over reacting here?

    Yes, you're overreacting. You get one day.

    You get one day. I'm sorry you can't go to her wedding and I'm sure she is too...But she and her future spouse picked that date for a reason and I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with you.

    Well I'd be really sad that I'd be missing her wedding more than anything. I wouldn't be upset that her wedding is after mine (unless it was like the very next day after mine) but I would be sad I wouldn't get to see her get married.

    I don't think you are. My cousin got engaged and planned before me, and when I did I started to plan for a wedding 3 months after. I talked to them about it as well. Also, a friend of mine who is a bridesmaid just got engaged too. She planned one three months after mine and talked to me about it. A week after just seems really odd. I'd be annoyed too:

    Yes, I'd say your overreacting. She may have been planning this day for months and just officially made the announcement. If you can't go you can't go send your well wishes and gift if you so choose and be done

    No! One of my bridesmaids is getting married 1 year and 6 days after me and she's trying to make it overshadow mine!! Kept asking me to go shopping with her since I'll beone of her bridesmaids and I had to put a stop to it.. I told her I don't want to hear another thing about hers until mine is over with.

    Definitely over reacting. Not rude at all.

    If you're upset because she is a good friend and you would hate to miss her wedding, then that's one thing. But if it is for the simple reason that you think it's too close to yours, then yeah. I think you're overreacting.

    Were there other reasons she chose that date? Maybe her circumstances made it so it was the only viable option? Idk. I get that you're frustrated that you can't attend, but you don't exactly get to block off the whole month from her. Also if she got engaged two days ago how does she have a date set already? There's no way she's booked a venue yet. No venue, no date.

    Yes you are overreacting. Be a good friend and be happy for her.

    @Sommer, That's disgusting. How self-centered are you...

    I can see why you're upset because now you can't go to her wedding, that really sucks! But maybe that was the only weekend available for her venue?

    @sommer be careful, you might get stuck with a butt ugly bridesmaids dress that way and I wouldn't blame the bride one bit.

    Yea you are, let her know you're happy for her but you won't be able to attend. I think I'm more impressed you already have the honeymoon planned, we haven't even looked at that yet lol

    In all fairness it is possible her date could change. Has she gotten a venue and set the date with them?? Or an officiant and set the date with them??
