Sibling getting married same year

[BlueberryFudge]

AIBU to be a little irked one of our siblings is getting married two months after us? All of a sudden all wedding talk is about their wedding and how we can juggle stag and hen do's around our plans which have been set for quite a while now.

Yes you are unreasonable. You don’t own the year you know!

Are you serious 😂

Yes YABU. 2 months isn't that close.

Yes I do 😞

Yabu

Get over it!! Enjoy the build-up together.

Yanbu. Everyone know the rules are that if someone is getting married everyone they know can not get married in the same rolling 12 month period!

Is that what you want to hear? It’s bullshit and you know it, but does it make you feel better to read it?

What a joke.

Ridiculous.

Good lord. Try to find an actual problem to work yourself up over.

You are definitely the sibling, aren't you?

Personally, I think everyone should get married within 6 months of setting the date. None of this 2 year planning malarkey.

How many months or years would you like them to put their lives on hold so you can bask in wedding fanfare?

How fucking dare they? I suggest that you demand they cancel everything immediately.

Me and my brother got married the same year, although a bit further apart than that. One of my closest friends also got married the same year I just feel it made it an extra special year!

I think this must be a joke or reverse. Honestly how many conversations do you need to have?

‘I’m going to have my stag/hen/wedding on these dates.’

‘Oh ok, that’s good as mine are on ‘x’ dates.’

Sorted!

I did. Almost 6 months after. Way too stressful, wouldn't recommend.

2 lovely family weddings in a year, sounds great! Yes YABU to be annoyed about having to share attention, you aren’t kids anymore

Bridezilla

I’ll never understand brides being crazy like this, gives women a bad name. Of course it doesn’t matter. Why would it? Just be happy for them. I literally don’t know why this matters?

It's just a wedding! One day

My brother got married 6 weeks after us, not an issue

We went to my brother's wedding half way through our honeymoon! We did not mind in the least.

Mind you they got divorced pretty quickly unfortunately.

Dsis and I were married in the same year (she and her dh September, dh and me December). It was great! Our mum was pleased that she only had to buy 1 suit; just got a new blouse and hat. Very different events. I think that you have to remember that weddings are not about attention being on you for a protracted period (ok on the day you are allowed to be the centre of attention). They are about the start of a marriage. And having a lovely time on the day. Why shouldn't your family have two lovely days?

BTW both sis and I still married to our respective blokes over 30 years later.

Definitely a reverse.

YABU, 2 months is plenty of time between. Me and my DB both got married in the same year. Makes it easy to remember how many years they have been married too. Their special day doesnt invalidate yours. Plus I found there's something lovely about going to a family wedding as a newlywed yourself.
