Just Said Yes September 2022

Future sil wedding date

Ashley, on April 10, 2021 at 11:57 PM Posted in Planning 0 8
Okay so, I've already discussed with my sister who is going to be my Matron of Honor about this but I'm lost at finding the right words to explain to my fiance about why I don't want our previously decided wedding date.



Here's the story....his sister is getting married this year 2021. I totally had the wrong date down in my calendar for her. So when he and I were deciding our date, I thought her wedding was a week before. Now he and I are getting married in 2022 but the date we picked is a day before their date.....so it would be the day before their 1 year anniversary.
The moment I realized this....I immediately talked to my sister because I thought that it may cause conflict (I have Autism so some times I get social things, some times not. I wasn't sure if this was one time I was or not.) My sister agreed with me that since it's their first year anniversary it may not be okay with his sister and her fiance.
I brought this up to my fiance but he thinks I'm overreacting and overthinking. I don't know what to say or do. 😭😭😭
I figured the date would be the least stressful thing to deal with. Lol.

    You are totally fine. It's their anniversary, not their wedding. It's the kind of thing that can be celebrated on another day, or not at all

    It’s not a big deal at all. I would have never thought anything of it!

    There is no reason at all to avoid their anniversary when setting a date.

    I agree with previous posters. There will always be to be an anniversary, birthday, a holiday, something. Pick the date you and your fiancé chose, it’s okay. My future husband’s grandma actually asked if I would change our wedding date to get married on their 50th wedding anniversary! She thought that’d be romantic. We politely said no thank you lol. But I definitely don’t think you should worry about getting married the day after your fsil’s anniversary!

    Not a big deal.

    DH's cousin was supposed to get married last October.

    Instead, they eloped in August, with a Zoom for the family... the day before our first anniversary.

    DH and his cousin actually bonded for a bit before the ceremony (he was waiting for his bride to arrive), about how they felt right before they got married.

    ...And now we can remember when their anniversary is! Yay!

    I absolutely agree with your fiancé you are overreacting and over thinking. If they were having their actual wedding that day that would be one thing, but their anniversary isn't a big deal. That day isn't now their day that nobody can celebrate things on, they don't own that day just because they were married on that day. What are you going to do if you have kids and one is due on their anniversary, ask the doctor to induce you early so it's not on their anniversary, absolutely not that would be insane. I think if your fiance isn't worried then you shouldn't be either. Go with your original plan.

    I don't think you need to worry about planning your wedding on a day on or near someone else's anniversary date. Keep the date you picked if you really like it!

    I agree with the others. it is very kind of you to consider that, but unless it was their actual wedding the day after yours, you have nothing to worry about. It would actually be more strange for them to get offended about a wedding near their anniversary.
