Weddings two weeks apart

Kimmy, on July 1, 2018 at 11:03 AM Posted in Planning 0 4
My adopted sister is getting married October 16th. 2019 Mine is October 5 th 2019. There was bad communication between us on planning. But more importantly seems more stressful on the parents who want to give us both the attention they think we deserve. Most of our guests are a completely different list so that’s not overwhelming. I’m just not sure what to do. My fiancé does not want to push it back unless absolutely necessary because October 5th is my birthday and that’s what We wanted. She was also adopted years before I was as a child and feels it’s only right that dad walks her down the isle first. Just all seems stressful but I wanted a fall wedding. IF I pushed it back it seem like I have todo it a whole year longer. And my fiancé and I already have a long distance engagement. Any advice sos

    It will be somewhat more stressful for your parents to have their daughters weddings 2 weeks apart depending on their level of involvement. Are they contributing financially? Helping with specific parts of the planning? I will say for your actual wedding days they should need to just show up and enjoy, so with the amount of time until the weddings I think it’ll be okay! I know it’s Not two weeks apart, but my husband and his brother are getting married only 5 months apart and it has worked out fine. (My husband is the younger brother and we started dating two months after his brother did) His parents contributed financially and helped plan certain parts of both weddings. My advice is to keep your date. You’ll have your wedding day and then your sister will have hers.

    So they are not contributing financially. Me and him are paying for it all together as a couple. This is how I wanted it. It’s more the pre wedding stuff I suppose. Mom didn’t want to just show up to mine. But the date is the whole reason why we chose the venue we did in the first place.

    By pre-wedding stuff, do you you mean joining you for meeting with vendors and/or events like your bridal shower? The bridal showers can be spaced out so that each of you also have your moment. If you haven’t yet, I’d sit down together with your sister and mom and have a frank conversation about everything. Maybe decide on dates for things like your bridal showers so that your mom feels like she is giving equal attention and you both feel special.
