Too many family weddings on 2020

Sonya, on July 21, 2019 at 10:28 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 10
So I am in the process of planning my second marriage after becoming engaged in Dec. Since then my 2 sons and my FH`s son all have gotten engaged in the last 5 months and all the weddings will be next year in 2020 the last one just 4 weeks prior to mine. Needless to say I am over the moon for our boys but I now feel like I should just scratch mine and focus on our boys as MOG times 2 and Step MOG and help out and so forth. Like I now don't feel right discussing my ideas and plans because I feel like I am taking away from their day. This is all 3 boys first weddings and my second so as their mom I don't want to take away from them and on top of that my 1st niece is getting married in March too and her mom is my MOH and of course my kids Aunt... everyone is going to be all wedded out by the time mine rolls around in Nov 2020 ... I am not even sure where my conflict is.. like is it my motherly instincts or nervousness about people being tired of family weddings when it's my time to walk down the isle... they may feel like "oh she has already been married before and had her experience" and not come or feel its not important... sorry just needed to vent.

    That's kind of you and shows how you're thinking of your kids first but honestly even if it's your second marriage I'd be excited for you and would want you anyway to have the wedding you want Smiley smile every bride has that right to feel like a princess for their wedding day and to enjoy their wedding planning

    I think its great that your family has so many things to celebrate. Some years are like that, everything happens at the same time. If it were my family I'd be happy to attend all of the weddings. You deserve to have the wedding of your dreams. Who cares if it's your second wedding? Your love deserves to be celebrated just as much as anyone elses. Truthfully, I think its fantastic that you can share this experience with your sons in such a unique way. What a great bonding experience it will be for all of you, including your daughters-in-law.

    I think it's great there's so much love and happiness going on in your family. I think you should still have the wedding you want tho. It's wonderful that you are such a caring mother that you'd scrap yours for theirs, but if you were my mom, I'd want you to have a perfect day too cause you deserve it!

    I wouldn't worry about it - you and your FH deserve your special day too! Help out as much as you can for your sons' weddings, but don't let yours fall to the wayside. People will be excited to celebrate with you no matter what.
