Would you be mad if your friend chose same wedding day as you?

Hey guys. So I have a friend that chose the same wedding date as me. Even though it is a year difference I did tell her that there was a 75% we would get married same date in 2017. She just got engaged about two week ago and I have been engaged since Christmas 2015 and chose the same damn date. Wtf...

    Honestly, I'd think it was cool. Sorry.

    So were you really considering moving it up a year ? are you mad because that's not an option anymore?

    My FH and I were planning a wedding for October 21st of next year but no places were open so we had to go with November 4th of next year. And his friend is getting married on November 5th of this year. To be honest I don't like doing that but we wanted a fall wedding and that is what is available for us.

    Not sure if my last comment posted but I could see a slight issue if she wants you to attend her wedding which would be your 1st anniversary

    It's not the same wedding day.

    This wouldn't bother me at all. It sounds like you had told your friend that you were most likely getting married on 8/5/18, and she and her FH were considerate enough to plan their wedding a full year away from your probable wedding date.

    4 of my friends have the same wedding anniversary as me and I think it's so cool! None of us even knew each other's day. It's a fun bond to share.

    I just wanted to let all you bishes know that 11/4 is taken forever. No one else is allowed to get married that day.

    Yup, you're being petty. Move on.

    Are you sure your not more upset about her getting married before you? I ask because you mentioned that you got engaged in 2015 and she just recently got engaged, and your reaction is not a normal response to simply the wedding date. Just something to consider.

    Super petty! You don't own the date for eternity.

    She is free to choose any open date she wants. You're not even clear on when your date is...25% you're keeping it 2018, 75% chance you're moving it up to 2017...your friend probably doesn't know your wedding date

    I read your titled, "Would you be mad if your friend chose the same wedding day as you?", and immediately thought, "Who would do something like that to a friend?" Then, I clicked on the thread and noticed that the word "day" had morphed into "date", and this woman is getting married a year after you. Not quite the same thing -- one matters, one doesn't.

    You can be angry if you want -- after all, people get upset about all kinds of inconsequential issues; I just wouldn't share your indignation with too many people because, regardless of who was engaged first, who moved their wedding up or back, or who told whom what their wedding plans were, the majority of people are going to think that you're being more than petty.

    Wait? So your date is 8/5/17 and hers is 8/5/18? Or vice versa? If that is the case then it is very silly to get upset. It is a whole year apart. If it is the same date on the same year then yes I would be upset but I would just go on planning my day. There is nothing you can do about it.

    @TheCenterpieceFlowers thanks for sharing. That's why I had to ask you loving people who knows how to keep it honest. Opps sorry for the grammatical error. I am over it now after seeing you guys comment. Plus I would never be that petty to end a friendship over. Like everyone says I do not own the date very true.

    @PattyM FH and I have discussed moving up the date but I will either leave it at 2018 or if I decide to do 2017 look into possible different date. For a while now some months.

    @ kimmyinjapan Not all about who gets married first fiancé and I decided to wait so that personal choice on our part.

    @BeachyLauren lmao you play too much.

    @LuvbeingMarriedtohim sounds like a lot of fun I see couples trips and stuff to do for Anniversary
