Spent 2mos deliberating w/ hubby's family, before having our wedding at a date & location we didn't want, to accommodate them.

Spent 2mos deliberating w/ hubby's family, before having our wedding at a date & location we didn't want, to accommodate them. On xmas eve sister-in-law informed us she'll be holding her wedding on my 30th bday. Got engaged 1mo ago and already put a down pmt on the venue. No one consulted us about it. My SIL was at my bday this year when I explained I was keeping it low key b/c we were planning on doing a big trip to Vegas for my 30th--possible b/c it falls on a long weekend. A long weekend is convenient for a wedding as well, but I feel extremely disrespected that no one would even think to talk to us about it. Gave up the wedding I wanted to accommodate this family. Will now lose the 30th bday I've planned on for yrs b/c they didn't even consider me. How do I bring this up? Is it ok not to attend? To ask them to change the date? Would cover new down pmt. Feel stuck in a position where now I'm the diva for even considering, after bending over backwards for them before. Smiley sad

    People are spiteful, you rearranged your plans for them. And nobody could consider you? I would not go. Yes, I'm petty. I would take my girls with me and go to Vegas. And if that isn't an option, then find something to do. But I wouldn't go to that wedding, because I wouldn't be very friendly. (Don't follow me, I told you I'm petty) You and FH discuss this situation. Because if he can't have your back then when is he gonna have it?

    It sucks but such is life. You should definitely still go but if it were me any future event i plan (bday, anniversary, etc) will not change due to them.

    If your hubby is that upset he should talk to his sister, tell her how he feels, of course it wont change her date but like you said keeping feelings bottled up is no good.

    It's obviously a bit frustrating but I'd hold my bday celebrations the week before or after.
