[QUOTE]Well, clearly no one likes you and that explains that. Oh, and your birthday parties are probably lame and the brides are just helping everyone have an excuse not to attend.

[QUOTE]I'm confused. You refer to a "husband" and that when "you planned your wedding" yet your profile says your wedding is not until next year.

Perhaps she's planning a vow renewal...

My grandparents got married on my grandmother's birthday.  Did she care?  No...she planned it that way so he'd only have one date to remember.

FI and I are getting married on a friend's birthday.  Her response when she found out?  "That's so cool!  Now I'll always remember when your anniversary is!" 

Why are these people so cool about sharing their birthdays with another event?  Because they're grownups...and because there are only 365 days in a year and millions of people around the world share your birthday or have an anniversary on your birthday anyway.

You don't own any one day of the year.  Get over it.

I know this is a day late, but I wanted to respond because I also have weddings on or near my birthday 2 years in a row. My birthday is on June 20th, this year we have one this Saturday on the 19th and next year one on the 18th. I'm just excited for definite plans and free booze on my birthday.

My uncle is marrying courtney this year one day before my birthday.

WOW.. seriously? Who forgot to tell you that your birthday doesnt matter anymore? Your not 5...and who says people wont come a week after the fact? My wedding is the same day as my sister in laws and she hasnt complained once. Grow Up.

[QUOTE]I just want to know what gives.  Last year my uncle married courtney and she was the one planning the wedding.  She decided to have the wedding on August 7th, the day before mine and my uncle's birthday as well as the day OF my dad's birthday.  What further offended me was that when we brought this to her attention she IGNORED the comment, didn't come to my birthday party the next day, and didn't give me a birthday present although they normally do.  Meanwhile I had to shell out for a shower gift, wedding present, and miss out on being able to have a party with my friends.  I mean she totally could have smoothed things over when they did all the toasts during the reception but she didn't.  Now, this year my husband's cousin is also getting married the day before my birthday.  I am sorely tempted not to be in attendance because of how this makes me feel.  I mean, honestly when I planned my wedding it wasn't on anybody else's birthday and if I had done that I would have at least agknowledged it.  I just feel jipped.  I mean it was a bigger deal last year because it was my 21st birthday and I couldn't even drink at the reception.  But this seems like a pattern.  How do I address this so it doesn't happen to me again?!

<div>Yeah, my very good friend's shower is the Sunday before my birthday, the weekend she KNOWS I always celebrate.  I.  DON'T.  CARE.  She's entitled to pick the day that's best for her.</div><div>
</div><div>Get over yourself.</div>

By the way, I guarantee  your wedding falls on someone's birthday.  Maybe even someone who's invited.

OMG the same thing happened to me! My best friend's baby shower was the DAY AFTER MY 21ST BIRTHDAY!!! WHEN WILL PEOPLE START RECOGNIZING OTHER PEOPLE'S BIRTHDAYS???? WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO????

I guess I could also use the opportunity to put aside my sarcastic remarks for a second and get you to view this in a rational light. You get to go to a wedding for your birthday! Weddings are fun! You get to join the people you love in possibly the happiest day of their lives. And you get to eat and drink and visit with your family. What more do you want on your birthday?

Oh, and if you seriously think that they are going to mention your birthday in their wedding toasts.... you have a problem. And, seriously, you know the birthday of EVERY SINGLE PERSON that's invited to your wedding? Right. I believe that.

[QUOTE]Seriously?  Your birthday happens every year, most people only get married once.  You are being ridiculous and childish.

This.

While I can understand being a little disappointed, you can't expect everyone else's plan to revolve around you.
