Friend booking her wedding same date as other friend

Amy, on December 17, 2021 at 3:56 PM Posted in Planning 0 9
Sooo, I have two friends both engaged, one of whom got engaged almost a year before the other. This one has always said she’s wanted a winter wedding. Our other friend is only very recently engaged and recently said she never wanted a big or flashy wedding, a registry office and dinner would be perfect. Fast forward to last week and to a conversation about said weddings. First friend informs all of us that she will be having her winter wedding as planned in a certain month in a few years time. Today, second friend (who is close to first friend!) says she is doing wedding on exact same date, month and year despite knowing about our other friend.
First friend is fierce upset but reluctant to say anything to cause an argument. Second friend has a history of doing this sort of thing so as not to be outshone by others. I think it’s unfair on her part as we’re all mutual friends, how the heck do we choose what to do when the time comes? And why would you want to be in competition with your best friend anyway?!! Thoughts?

    Wow!!! Gee, what a nice friend!! 🙄 That's just wrong on so many levels. Honestly, I would go to the first friend's wedding because she told you her date first.

    Geez. I would go to friend one's wedding, were I you, and if friend two asked why, I'd explicitly tell her.

    I agree with Sharon, I would go to the first friend’s wedding since it was announced first.
    Do they have a lot of the same friends, who would be mutual guests? If so, perhaps the second bride will change her date if most of the mutual friend choose the first friend’s wedding.

    I would definitely go to friend one wedding? Friend 2 just don't seem like a very good friend if things like this is in her history. Who would want to be in competition with their "friends"?!

    I agree with Sharon. If I am equally as close to both friends, I would attend the wedding of whoever told me their date first.

    Clearly you attend friend #1’s wedding. The 2nd is a jerk.

    Wow! That doesn’t sound like friend behavior. Honestly I would attend whomever I was closest to, not necessarily who asked first. Since it’s a few years away as you mentioned, anything can happen between now and then.
