To be pissed of my brother is getting married on our anniversary?

[Lily15]

The title says it all really.Brother and fiancée are getting married overseas next month but are legally getting hitched here first in a registry office.Only just told me when. On my 2nd wedding anniversary. Bit pissed off. Would you be?

[ImperialBlether]

No, I wouldn't mind. I don't think anyone celebrates wedding anniversaries except the couple themselves, do they? And when you're having your Silver etc, then they will still be a couple of years behind.

[Tommy]

no - why should it bother you? You can have a double celebration or you can ignore it. Plenty more things to be pissed off about IMO. I would be surprised if my siblings even knew the date of my wedding anniversary

[FelicitywasSarca]

Not really no. Sorry.

[TheVermiciousKnid]

I usually forget about our anniversary every year, as does my husband. So no, I wouldn't be upset. Is it really such a big deal? Could you not celebrate another day?

[FranSanDisco]

Why? Sorry but it's only your 2nd anniversary so don't get what the problem is.

[effingwotsits]

I probably wouldn't be bothered. Anniversaries are only special to those celebrating it unless you both intend on having massive celebrations every year, in which case you'd have a problem

[nickelbarapasaurus]

YABU

i'd be flattered actually.

[SurprisinglyCurvaceousPirate]

Wouldn't bother me.

[TheBirderer]

Did they remember that it was your wedding anniversary? What did they say when you told them?

[JumpingThroughHoops]

No. Because in my experience, the only people that remember wedding anniversaries are the bride and groom.

YABU because you dont' "own" the date. And being 2 years adrift, it will never coincide with any significant anniversary party you may choose to have.

[Olympia2012]

No, not at all

What are you worried about?

[roteelefant]

Would I be pissed? Nope. Not one bit.
esp as it is only the offical bit - their wedding in the one overseas, I guess that is the one they will 'celebrate'
You don't own the date- I'm sure thousands of things happened on that day.

[JeezyPeeps]

YABU.

[quoteunquote]

It wouldn't worry me.

[Panzee]

Gives you all more chance of remembering it in years to come! :o

[fivegomadindorset]

Nope, not fussed here.

[BartletForTeamGB]

Wouldn't be bothered at all.

[Lily15]

Ok ok I get it- unreasonable! Just checking as I think my dislike for my future SIL is clouding my better judgement. Obviously!

[PineappleBed]

Nope I wouldn't mind

[Socknickingpixie]

i think thats lovely. yabu after all you dont expect people outside of your relationship to celebrate with you do you? apart from the biggy party type ones.

[WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes]

No, chances are they haven't realised it is your anniversary, I don't know when my brother's is. The only reason I might be a bit annoyed is if we had already arranged a holiday or weekend away for the same date and had to cancel.

[clemetteattlee]

No-one remembers our anniversary. Not even the bridesmaids including my sister

[BlueMoonFergie]

Not even a little bit. Be surprised if siblings even realised tbh. It's only the legal one anyway. They'll prob celebrate their anniversary on the actual date of the over seas wedding.
