Apologies if I’ve posted in the wrong place, wasn’t sure the best place to get advice on this.
I have two best friends, we are really close, lived together through uni and then for 6 years after that.
However, this situation has arisen and I’m stuck in between in an awkward position! It really is first world problems, but would appreciate people’s opinions on who is ‘right’ here.
Best friend 1 (who is less flush and who has saved for years for a flat/wedding) got engaged last year. She booked her wedding for the end of August 2018.
Best friend 2 (who earns a lot, and has a huge amount of savings from bonus’ to buy houses/holidays etc) got engaged 3 weeks ago. She has booked her wedding for two weeks before BF1 at a much fancier venue.
Both want it during school holidays.
BF1 is upset and hurt. She has a limited number of guests due to cost and feels that BF2 will have a fancy wedding and will invite as many of our friends as she wants. BF1 thinks the weddings will be compared and that BF2 should have considered her feelings more.
So who is ‘right’?
BF 1 for thinking that BF 2 should have waited until after her own wedding to have hers? Or at least asked whether she minded. Or had it at the beginning of summer hols?
BF2 for thinking that she shouldn’t have to answer to anyone about when she should have her wedding/it isn’t a big deal/people won’t compare and if she wants school holiday wedding then that’s when it has to be. Her venue is only available on the date that’s 2 weeks before BF2.
