To expect my mum not to have her second wedding the same summer as my first?

Starting to hate all things wedding related argh! We plan to get married August 2015 but cannot book/announce it yet due to finances etc. my mum knows how I have been hoping for years to fix a date (well month/yr) and now have.

She has just told us her partner (who btw she got together with more recently than me and DP did) has proposed and they are thinking June 2015!

Aibu to ask her to reconsider the date (ideally the year) given we have lots of overseas relatives who will only be able to come over once in any given year? And given they will be announcing their engagement first, everyone will plan around their wedding?

Am prepared to be told I am a brat.. And no I do not want to have them at the same time (am I totally unreasonable to not want my mum to steal my thunder?)

I think my child's first wedding would take place over my second. I wouldn't have a second wedding close to nieces and nephews either. I got married abroad with short notice and am not into big weddings.

The main issue is you db and he has sorted the problem for you.
