Other 2012 Weddings

Does anyone else have a big wedding year besides there own? I am in a wedding June 9th and Nov 24th, FI is in one on Oct 13th, we are attending one on Oct 6th, and then of course our own on Sept 8th. It is a crazy, fun, and expensive year! Three of my four bridesmaids are engaged one just on Friday so its very fun and exciting to talk wedding planning with them all. I'm sure I'll eventually get sick of it, but it will be nice to help out my friends after our own.

    Oh yes. I have my cousin's wedding in June. My FSIL is getting married Aug 11th, we are Sept 22nd. My brother is getting married in April 2013, but its a DW so we just may have to postpone our honeymoon in order to afford the DW.

    FSIL was engaged for years before us, and as soon as we picked a date, her FI randomly picked one so close to ours. I didn't have a problem with it, but my mother is so offended by this, and thinks it throws a huge wrench in working together with FI's family to plan things. Whatever, mom.

    My FBIL is getting married June 23, and our wedding is Sept 22.  FBIL and FSIL's wedding is a huge thing, since they're doing a traditional Albanian wedding with like 1-2 weeks of partying.  I swear sometimes I'm doing more planning for that wedding than my own.  Between that and a wedding we're going to in Toronto in two weeks, I've bought 4 evening gowns in the past few months.  Intense on the wallet.  It also means that FI's parents have been occupied with planning for the other wedding, which is ok with FI and I, since we both tend to be more independent-minded.

    We are pretty lucky that most of our friends are already married so no other weddings this year anyways. Although next year we have 2 Destination weddings!!!!! 1 in January and 1 in April!!!!! That will hurt the bank account if we can manage to swing going to both.

    My stepbrother is getting married in July, but we aren't going (not even sure if we're getting an invite). My brother is getting married May 2013. I have a friend (one of my BMs) that I think will be getting engaged this year =)

    We DID have a few going on this year. FI's cousin is getting married next month inTexas but financially we couldn't go, and FMIL kind of made it known unofficially that she didn't want me there. My cousin was supposed to get married next month too but they called it off the beginning of the month. My friend, who I've known since before FI is getting married in December, not in the one, but helping her plan every now and then. Busy year for us!

    FI has 2 cousins getting married this summer (not to each other LOL); one is a BIG Italian wedding in June, and the other is super old fashioned farm wedding in July.
    I have a cousin getting married on September 1st as well.

    Oh and FI's friend who lives in Virginia is getting married Oct 13th - we just got their STD on Friday actually. We might go... we'll see.

    My two closest friends and I figured it would happen like this, once one of the guys popped the question it would probably be a domino effect (I am secretly glad my FI asked first though :).

    We went to 5 weddings in 2010 but FI was only in one of them.  Last year we only had 1.  This year back to 5, so hopefully only 1 next year so out finances can recover!!

    I think I've passed the big wedding years for my friends.  FI's friends are in the process of getting married now.  We've got 2 weddings this year for his friends.  Aug 18 and Sept 22.  Then I think there will probably be a lull until my cousins start getting married.  My one aunt has 6 kids, and I think 4 of them are in relationships that just started getting serious.  So when they all start getting married, we'll be going to a lot more weddings.

    So In Love
