I am having a destination wedding and so I sent out my save the dates about a month ago or so. Most of my family, such as aunts/uncles and grandparents have already booked their arrangements.
Then a few days ago my cousin gets engaged and announces on facebook that she is having her wedding 2 weeks before mine. They set the date the same day as the engagement, which I thought was really fast, but hey. I am very happy for her, but there is no way that I am going to be able to make her wedding. I need to leave for my own wedding (driving) 5 days ahead. And now I am wondering about some of my other relatives as well, like my grandparents or her mom. I hope this doesn't prevent family members from coming to my wedding, because I would be so sad if they didn't make it.
Why couldn't it have been a month before?
