True Colors come out....

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...

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 agree it seems a little odd, but to each there own. You shouldn't ask people to change personal plans though. It's up to them to decide what they want to attend.

    Lmao. This has to be the most hilarious thing I have heard. Who changes there wedding date for a concert?!

    If you don't want people's opinion don't ask a public forum. It's not that everyone is horrible. It's that your situation is really strange. And too most of us sound absolutely ridiculous!

    I truthfully don't understand why everyone is so shocked about this. As OP mentioned, the date is just a date. Wanting to change that doesn't meant that she doesn't care about her upcoming marriage. Who are we to judge how she and her husband enjoy spending their time? Contrary to popular belief, the wedding itself is NOT what is most important, it's the joining together of two lives. Your choices should reflect you as a couple.

    That being said, no, it's not your place to ask that the birthday party be rescheduled. Maybe your MOH misunderstood and thought you were definitely changing the date and now feels caught between the two. Yes, it sucks if she has to miss the wedding, but it is her choice to make.

    I wish you the best of luck in your plans!

    Brittany, while it's strange to reschedule a wedding for a concert, the issue is not that per se. It's the idea that the OP can reschedule her wedding around a concert, yet she expects other people to rearrange their plans around her wedding. She obviously prioritizes the concert over her own wedding, so why is she upset that other people prioritize a birthday party over someone else's wedding??

    This thread needs to die but did anyone else see that the guitarist was stabbed in the head by his brother? I heard it on the radio last night and all I could think about was this thread.

    Marina, I agree with you. I don't think it's appropriate to ask others to reschedule their lives in this situation.

    I just read this entire thread. I don't even know what to do with this.

    Also, I planned my child's birthday party almost 6 months in advance,because we needed the venue, a DJ, catering, etc. So, for some people, it's not that odd. Expecting your MOHs sister to move a party date for you, however, is.

    You're being ridiculous. There is no concert on the planet, bucket list or not, that should alter your wedding plans. The kids birthday party is a non-sequitur. I would seriously reconsider getting married, if a concert is more important than your frigging wedding. Get over it...and by that, I mean, pick the wedding or the concert. You can't have both. Holy &%$#. What a fiasco. Grow up.
