Just Said Yes June 2020

Wedding date

Kami, on May 14, 2019 at 11:52 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 39
Ive had to move my wedding date to next june but my FH is now worried because the date chosen is two days after his brothers birthday. I see nothing wrong with that. The birthday would be a Friday and the wedding on Sunday. Plus its an excuse for his brother to be in the states for his birthday since he lives in england and we live in PA. Am I an asshole for not caring its two days after? Should we move it the week before or after the 14th of june 2020?

    I think your date is just fine. It would be great to celebrate his birthday in person! I'm really not sure how a wedding 2 days after a birthday woul

    I can kind of see the issue of it being on his birthday, but even then, it's not that big a deal. If this is the date you two want, go for it. If your FH is that worried, then I guess I would probably agree to move it since it's FH's day too.

    I meant I would possibly be able to see it as an issue if it was on his actual birthday.

    My wedding is the same day as my best friends moms bday. Also a few days before fiancé parents anniversary. I did not think much of it. There are a lot of b days and other special days of people.

    I’m missing the issue. Is it his 1st birthday? Lol. J/K But seriously... the wedding date isn’t even ON his birthday. So it’s a non-factor.

    It's so difficult to find a date that works for everyone and like you said then he can be in person for his bday so I think it'd be good. Even better if he's a groomsmen

    Haha yes!! I'm literally scanning for an explanation that this person is not an adult or for some reason why they would actually be upset with this haha. Girl, I think you're good!

    My brother got married on my now FH's birthday. My brother let me bring a cake to the night-before dinner to celebrate FH's birthday with family and friends, even though it was his wedding weekend.

    You can reserve the Friday before your wedding as a day to celebrate your FBIL and the rest of the weekend will be about you and FH.

    My sister got married the day before my birthday and 2 days before our dad’s. At no point did I or anyone else get upset or consider it rude. ON would have been one thing, but even then, we’re all adults...

    One of my bridesmaids birthday is the day before my wedding and our best man’s is the day after. It shouldn’t be a big deal, it’s not like they can’t celebrate another time

    It would be very hard to choose a date that doesn't fall near anyone's birthday, anniversary, graduation, etc. You're good.

    My MOH 5 year old nephews birthday is the day before my wedding & we’ll be having a pj party/shower that day. His reaction? “It’s ok, we can share my day”....if he can share so can your FBIL lol

    I don’t think this is an issue at all. Our wedding is actually ON my bridesmaid’s birthday and she doesn’t care... she is so excited for our wedding and will celebrate her birthday a different day 🤷🏻‍♀️ Do adults care that much about their birthdays? Lol

    Future brother in laws wedding is coming up, it's the day after his brothers birthday. No issue. I think we're making him a little cake for the rehearsal dinner just as a fun thing.

    Now that you mentioned this I realize that our date is few days before my sister’s birthday (she’s also traveling from Europe for the wedding) & few days after FH’s brother’s birthday 😆 We didn’t even think about this & neither of our siblings said a thing. I’m one of those adults who celebrates their birthday every year lol & even I wouldn’t have an issue if my sister’s wedding was 2 days later.

    Finding a date that works with both of our schedules, our venue, with major holidays & is not a week day was so hard, that if we took into account few days before/after all of our 5 siblings & parents birthdays & all their wedding anniversaries, we would have gotten married in 2022 lol.

    I don't see a problem with it being 2 days after! I'm getting married 3 days after my dad's birthday next year but didn't even think about that until like 2 days ago. My dad is completely fine with it!

    I see no problem with this. His brother will have a birthday every year and you will only have one wedding. It’s also not on his actual birthday, so he doesn’t get an entire weekend.
