True Colors come out....

Rhea, on March 8, 2015 at 9:37 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 153

My FH and I were thinking about changing the date of our wedding due to a scheduling conflict of sorts. There is a concert that we were both wanting to go to that is on the same day of our wedding. However, it starts at 6pm the same day. So I thought maybe we should change the date, I discussed it with my MOH. My FH was worried that there wouldn't be enough time because he was under the impression that WE would have to stay behind and clean up after our wedding. Once I convinced him that the cleaning up is going to be taken care of, it all worked out. So we are keeping the date and having the wedding slightly earlier. I let my MOH know the date is the same. Come to find out now there is a conflict with her, her sister is throwing her nephew's 3rd b-day party on the same day, around the same time. She can't be in 2 places at once. I hate to make her choose. If she can't be there and be my MOH then so be it but at the same time... (continued)

    I'm wondering why in the world can't the kid's b-day party be moved to the following day which is a Sunday. She said they are having people come in from out of town for it but so am I. My father and grandmother are coming down from up north. Am I being totally ridiculous? I want to tell her, it is what it is and if she can't be my MOH then whatever. However, I have no other bridesmaids. I have a close nit group of friends and I am not that close to other females. So, what do I do? And if I do decide to ask another friend of mine, I would be jumping the gun then that's just going to cause even more drama. I don't know what to do now.

    Yes you are being ridiculous asking her to ask her sibling to move the child's birthday party. It's not ridiculous to ask her to choose but I think it's weird as hell to move your wedding around to accommodate a concert. Wedding >>> concert lol

    This whole post seems bizarre to me. There is NO concert in the world that would have caused me to change my wedding date!

    I'm agreeing with Janeen and Monica on this one. I wish my emojis worked on here. Can you see my confused face? -__-

    Agree with the above. Bday doesn't need to be moved, wedding doesn't need to be changed, MOH just needs to pick. I have to ask...what concert is it? Are the Beatles, including ghosts, reuniting?!

    NO concert trumps my wedding, sorry, I did see a girl go across the stage in a wedding dress when I graduated from college with her cap and gown over it. That being said, MOH needs to pick between them. Do you have other vendors booked? You would need to change all that, Sorry even Bon Jovi is not worth it to me.

    I really want to know what concert is in town that caused you to change the time of your wedding.

    Your whole post seems insane. Who plans to attend a kids bday party and be in a wedding the same day. On that note, who the heck thinks a concert is more important, or important enough to move their wedding around for. The whole scenario sounds ridiculous. And I'm sorry but if the bride and groom do not take their wedding seriously enough to not randomly change it for a concert then why on earth would the attendants take the wedding seriously enough to plan the rest of their lives around it.

    Can you get me a ticket to that concert? I'll plan my entire schedule around it, since it's clearly a one-in-a-lifetime event (you know, like a wedding).

    Beatles + ghosts...bahahaah that was great. Agree with everyone else, 1. dont move your (hopefully) once in a lifetime event to accommodate a (most likely) more than once in a lifetime concert. And your MOH should have known not to double book herself.

    Luckily for me, Elvis texted yesterday, he already got our tickets and we'll be sitting front row.

    You were planning to move your wedding date for a CONCERT? I almost don't believe this. Is your favourite artist planning to come back from the dead to do one final concert?

    Seriously though, what concert? We're all dying to know.

    Why are they planning a 3rd birthday so far in advance? What concert is this? If you are willing to change the date/time for a concert, why not so she can be there?

    Is this real life? You moved you wedding for a concert? No seriously, is this real life?!?! I think if you told her you were changing your wedding date for a concert she is perfectly in her right to then go ahead and schedule to go to her nephew's birthday. You already let her know how important your wedding really is by changing it for a flipping concert don't get mad when she follows suit and treats it like no big deal, you did the same!

    ETA- Monica I totally googled it too!

    Just change the date so that you're not having a wedding and then going to a concert (that sounds like a tiring day anyway) like you wanted to do and then your MOH can come. It must not be that much trouble for your traveling family since you'd already considered moving it.

    Obviously I need to clarify some things. Firstly, yes it's a slipknot concert. It's on my bucket list. This is indeed a once in a lifetime thing for me. Secondly, I was only discussing changing the date being as how not a lot was set in stone. All we ended up doing was bumping the time up a couple of hours. I wouldn't hold it against her if she couldn't be in my wedding. I love her and like I said before, it is what it is. The birthday party was made after I had mentioned I was "thinking" about changing the date to the week either before or after. I think this got misconstrued, nothing changed only a couple of hours. It was only a thought.

    As far as how important my wedding is to me, it is important but a date is a date. It doesn't matter all that much to me on what date we get married. My family did not know I was thinking about changing the date. I don't feel like I am disrespecting anyone. It's a small affair. I have no vendors, not really a bridal party either. Maybe I am just not as materialistic as most people, but all of this matters naught except for my FH and I celebrating our love through marriage.

    S/N I have no idea why a kid's birthday party is being planned so far in advance. -shrug- Not really my place to wonder either.

    Is a date really so important to some? I mean, I chose the 25th of July because we started dating the 26th of July but that is on a Sunday and the church has 2 services. I just thought that would be a good a day as any.

    Gotta balance church times with slipknot concert times.

    Wedding planning is so hard.
