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

Best advice I received from this site "no one cares about your wedding (date) as much as you". I don't mean this in a mean way at all but you need to realize that day has soooooo much meaning to you and your day will be amazing but that day to your friend means peanuts. Now her date her date has soooooo much meaning to her and will be amazing but to someone els that day means peanuts.

August is a popular month for weddings.

Ok, I can help you justify feeling wtf?! Because like, why THAT day. How original?

BUT! have your WTF moment and get over it . You get one day, she is your friend.. move on .

Good luck hunn

I have the same issue with one of my cousins. I don't care that she picked the same date, like PPs have said, I don't own that date forever. However, I don't want to be side eyed because DH and I have already made plans for our first anniversary and won't be able to attend her wedding after she attended ours. I could be over thinking it but that is the part that's annoying me about the situation.

It seems important now because your wedding is so important to you and you are devoting so much mental energy to making sure it's perfect, but sharing an anniversary will probably have zero practical effect on either of your weddings/lives.

No.

Sorry but Yes, I think you're being petty about it. If it were the same date, same year, you'd have cause to feel some type of way. But they are a year apart.

Why does it matter if they are a year apart? I thought you meant they were on the exact same date...like she wouldn't be able to attend your wedding. I am not sure why you would be mad about this since they are a year apart. Doesn't make sense. She can still come to your wedding and you can still go to hers. That's the only reason I can think of why it would matter.

So strange - there was a similar thread on this right when I started on WW...I went to look for it and found 3 (there's more) threads with the same question. I think that there's popular wedding dates given seasons, holidays, etc...so this is extremely common. Just a data point.

My cousin and a friend of her accidentally booked the same date at the same reception venue. It happens. It's not a big deal!

ETA: same exact date (so their friends had to split the weddings and at the end, both receptions combined after the dinner parts at both)

When I read the title, I thought you meant the exact same date (including year); in which case I may be a little disappointed. But a year apart? No big deal. Who cares if you both happen to celebrate your anniversaries on the same date? I don't see how it would effect you or why it would bother you.

That's being petty AF. The dates are a year apart for crying out loud. You don't own calendar dates.

Now, had she picked the same date AND year after already knowing you picked that date, then yes you would have the right to be mad.
