Hi,
I'm not sure how I feel about the whole situation. We got engaged last September and in November last year we booked our wedding for April 2019. My brother got engaged before I did but they never made any plans or set a date to marry. Last weekend my FSIL announced that they had picked a date and was going to look round venue's. Obviously I was excited as my little brother was getting married until she announced that their wedding was the week before ours. They had always spoken about getting married the year after us so it was a huge shock. Is it right for me to feel annoyed by this? It has tainted my excitement for them. I have spoken to my brother who wants to get married next year but is not fussed when it is but my FSIL picked the date and won't change it. I have a whole load of emotions going on about the whole situation and I just don't know how to feel. My family are giving me money towards our wedding and told my brother that they would do the same for him because they thought the wedding would be a year later, now both weddings are within a week of eachother my family will struggle to find the money to help us both and I don't want that. My FSIL doesn't see what the big deal is and can't understand why I'm annoyed and upset about the whole situation, she said that they had been engaged longer so they should get married first although they have only been together 3 years and I have been with my FH 7 years. I would never ask them to change the date of their wedding but I think it's selfish that they have planned it the week before ours. I'm not one for being fussed over and I'd much rather take a back seat than be the centre of attention but the run up to my wedding I want to be the centre of attention and not have to share that, is that wrong for feeling like that?
