Ok I am not a bridezilla, plan on a totally relaxed stress free wedding. However......

My uncle (same age as me) and his fiance have been planning their wedding for a year and the date is set for August 2015. We see my uncle and his family fairly often and are reasonably close to them but have never discussed wedding plans with them.

My fiance and I got engaged a few weeks ago and have been looking at venues. We want to get married next spring.
Looked at a venue yesterday that we have both fallen in love with. It ticks all of our boxes.
We provisionally booked a date for next June, just need to find out if registrar can do that date before we put a deposit down.

I phoned my mum it tell her about the venue and she said "oh that's where uncle is getting married".

We can't swoop in and use it a couple of months before their long planned wedding can we?? Would that break some kind of wedding code??

We really love it and I think will struggle to find anywhere else that will compare.

AWBU to book it?

diddl the uncle deserves to know, but there's no way of telling him without offending him deeply, don't you think?

I think I'd want to know tbh.

Whilst I know that my wedding was only important to me & my husband, & that it's just a money spinner to a lot of places, to have it thought of & spokn about with such contempt just isn't on.

Also, it can only be a "spit & sawdust" affair if the venue make it so by offering such a package/service!
