I'm so cross!!

[rsbh]

Me and DP are getting married in September. He's the eldest of 4 siblings and the first of them to get married. Or at least he was until he got a phone call from his sister today to say she's getting married in March - 6 months before us! She's been with her OH for years and never shown any interest in getting married and now all of a sudden it's a bloody wedding fest!
Why is she trying to steal my thunder bloody bloody witch woman.:hissyfit:

[hector]

one good thing you can use her's as a goal post and excel it :yes:

Bit cheeky but dont surpose you are looking for a dress???
i have 5 new ones i need to sell ex display good makes going cheap sorry to sound like del boy but they have to go

[Ravenfire]

Why do you see it as stealing your thunder? To be honest at the end of the day I dont see why them getting marriage should make any difference, if anything you can use it as an opportunity to make sure yours runs smoothly and better than theirs!

I'm wth Raven on this one, we organised our wedding within 8 weeks and it was 6 months before my cousin's who had organised it the year before.

I would hate to think that my cousin thought we were stealing their thunder because that simply wasn't the case.

This is nearly the same as what happened to me, i fell pregnant and 3 months later dh sister did. We planned to get married set a date and booked over year in advance she then went on to get married just under 12 months before us, with the same braidsmaids we had already asked.
Then my uncle decided that after knowing his girlfriend for a few months that he would get married 12 weeks after me in a different country and ask my dad to be best man!

I thought, well i can let it all get to me OR not give a flying monkeys and enjoy my day! (oh, and to make sure my wedding was the best! He He He)

[emmalouise]

people accused me and my dh of doing this, a few people we knew were getting married. we arranged our wedding three weeks before the actual date and it was a lovely day. but we got accused of trying to beat the other people down the isle!!! tbh we didn't even consider there weddings at the time, we just knew we wanted to get married so we did. xxx

OK so I suppose I'm over-reacting and being a little prima donna-ish about this!:blusingan
I suppose I can console myself with the knowledge that once hers is over and done with and forgotten about I'll still be planning mine.:cheesy:

Hector - sorry I've already got my dress ordered - thanks anyway though!

[Easties]

you could look at it this way hun you could have fun planning your weddings together its a good talking point lol :yes:

[rsbh]

Nice idea but we're not exactly close.

[Easties]

Nice idea but we're not exactly close.oh dear i know that feeling lol well just have fun planning yours and look forward to your big day babe

[ruthie]

I can understand why you feel like you do but each wedding is indiviual and different and the people who matter to you will prefer your wedding anyway.

DH and I got accused of the same thing and it was very hurtful. The thing was DH's brother and his woman were engaged for about a year and had the works, the huge white wedding, etc. We got engaged in July and married in October of the same year, small registry office wedding in Gibraltar - two completely different weddings. How dare she say we were stealing her thunder. Of course they didn't turn up to ours and when we went to theirs not only did we not get on the top table or one down, we were not even in the same room as them and ended up sitting at what was no more than a pub table - I was literally about to give birth too and was made to sit on a chair with a plate of food on my bump.

Oh and by the way - they were divorced after about a year and DH and I are still together - 9½ years later!

They might have their reasons for getting married sooner. Ours was that we were trying for our first baby and wanted to get married before having children. Lucky we did because I was already pregnant when we got married!

I would just concentrate on organising your own day and make it as special & as wonderful as possible.

Just think once hers is over, you still have yours to look forward to! I am sure you will have a wonderful day.

Vonnie, how awful for you and how very childish that they never turned up for your wedding, it sounds delightful being in Gibraltar and all but you certainly did have the last laugh eh?! :happy72:

[ruthie]

I think most of us have Prima Donna moments when arranging a wedding, it can be very stressful.

[TopKat]

At the end of the day every wedding is different. Maybe she has just found out she is pregnant and it is a shotgun job...I dunno. I wouldn't worry about it, as long as the day is special for you then what else matters.

You are hardly being a prima donna...We had a minor row, and I burnt all our forms for booking the wedding at the local registery office. Had to go in and tell them I'd had a tantrum and burnt them, to get new ones. They are probably amazed that we have our 7th wedding ann in April!!

[hector]

its our 2nd anniversary in may and my brother in law kept on at us to have this that and the other there wedding was huge they did'nt even make it to there second anniversary Hope what ever you choose for your special day you have a great wedding it's over so quickly we got married at 2pm it flew buy i had no nerves at all i sat at home watching wallace and gromit in the morning and he was at his mothers playing computer games it was a wonderful day hope all goes well for yours
