AIBU?

How hurt (if at all) would you be if someone you were fairly close to told you they were pregnant and the due date was your wedding date (which had been booked for 2 years)?

Not at all - you can't expect people to put their lives on hold for a wedding

You can plan a wedding.

You can't always plan a pregnancy.

I would be chuffed for them

How odd to get upset over that; I'm due Xmas Day and you can't pick your EDD!

not at all hurt, they might have been ttc for 5 years! Even if they hadn't I doubt it was done with malice??
(Although I have a feeling -- are you the pg one?)

Is it you who's pregnant?

I would not in a million years expect anyone to plan their family around my wedding day.

Is this a crazy day or something.

Or is this AIBU by stealth and someone you know is upset that you or somone else is due on their wedding day?

If you are cross about this, you are being a bridezilla.

Why hurt? I am sure she didn't plan it that way.

When you want a baby you want a baby and there will always be something getting in the way so you just have to go for it.

Is she expecting you to change the wedding date? If so SIBU, if not YABU

Wouldn't be hurt at all. I'd be very pleased for her. I'm sure she wouldn't have done it intentially! Nobody is that good at getting pregnant!

It's a shame but I wouldn't be hurt.

I would think that the OP is the one who is pregnant and her friend is miffed because she's going to be due to her wedding day.

If that is the case, I would question your friendship with her. What friend would put their wedding day over and above your new baby? She must be a very shallow and selfish person and I would probably advise that you would be better off without her spoiling the birth of your new baby.

Why would I be hurt? That would imply that the person was brilliant at planning and conceiving, and did it all on purpose. I never met anyone who could plan a conception with that degree of accuracy!

I might feel sad or disappointed, but not hurt. Then I would try very hard to put a smile on my face and congratulate them.

so they are not allowed to get pg near your wedding???talk about self centred.

perhaps they have been trying for years, and it was a fluke, perhaps it was an accident but they have decided to go through with it, perhaps they cannot believe they got lucky first time.....whatever the case you should be happy for them

what if your friend loses the baby? will you secretly be pleased, as it fits your plans better

Oh how inconsiderate! You should have included a "Do not have sex between the following dates..." in your save the date cards, just to be on the safe side.
FFS! If this it is you that's getting married you're a pretty rubbish mate.
