Double wedding

It's not my cup of tea. Call me greedy, but I want the day to myself.

I agree with Katie, i would feel like the specialness of the day with FH would be downplayed with the double wedding

The one person I know who did it did a double wedding with his sister. The one thing he HIGHLY encouraged and didn't regret doing was hiring two photographers: one to focus on each couple.

I'd say no. We're in the same position with weddings close together. I'm getting married May 28th and my sister is July 14th. I know I wouldn't want to share my day with her plus we have different visions for our weddings and she plans on spending a lot more than I do lol

Not my thing.

As an outsider, I'd think it was a bit strange. You're supposed to be celebrating your marriage and your love with your FH. While I know weddings often end up just being big parties, it does take away some of the specialness of the wedding.

@AMV I like that idea! It makes sense. Did the wedding go well or did it seem like a mess?

It may be convenient for family, but could be a bit awkward for guests who know one couple but not the other. Styles could also clash easily once you get into the details of planning and realized you both envisioned different weddings. I think it could cause a lot of unnecessary stress and compromises that would make you feel like you never truly got YOUR dream. Though me and my sister have very different styles and aren't incredibly close, so it may be different depending on your dynamic.

That would be a hard pass.

I would not do this. Not for anything in the world. I would move my date back 6 months to a year before I would share our wedding day with anyone else.

The only one I have been to was for two of my uncles many years ago. Both couples had been married before so I think that contributed to why it worked out so well. I would talk with your sister about this. May seem selfish but I would not be on board with this idea if it were me.

Hard no.

What if one of your marriages doesn't last? Will that dampen memories of your wedding?

I would be pretty opposed to this idea. Can you space out your weddings more? How many family members will need to travel?

I also think this would be awkward for guests that are friends of one couple, but not the other. Do they get gifts for both? It seems like a mess and keep in mind, you will have three sets of families to appease.

If y'all would invite the same people and y'all really really get along. I don't see why it would be an issue...as long as y'all could agree on a bye and things like that.

Hunty, I love my sister to the moon and back but we would never consider that. She had her wedding 2014 in June and mine is August 2017. Just spread out the days of you were considering your out of town guest. You want the day about you. It's not selfish per say but it will be all you baby girl. And your sister would have her day too.

My CEO has twin daughters and they sort of did a double wedding. They had separate ceremonies on the same day (and stood up in each other's) but then had a joint reception.

Why not do it on a weekend and have one wedding on Saturday and one on sunday? As a guest, if be more accepting of that than a double wedding. Plus you each get your own day without having family travel extra

I went to a twin wedding and it absolutely was not weird. It totally fitted their personalities and they would have invited almost the same set of people. If you both like the idea, there is nothing wrong with it. As a guest who was friends with both of them I was very happy not to travel twice in six months. Not most people's cup of tea but totally ok if you guys are sure you can come together on decor and such.

Its the one day in my entire life thats just ours and only ours. Soooo imma be a selfish bish and say hard pass on that.

If your going go this route maybe do seperate cermonys and just combine the reception. Once you get to the reception part its just about food dancing and drinking anyone. I personally however are very selfish and would not want to share the spotlight. But splitting the bill would be nice lol
