My sister just got engaged! yay!
Well she has already started wedding planning since she decided she wants to get married in march of 2015. Well she posts on facebook about how it's going to be crazy trying to get everything done by March and my aunt responds "Oh no please not march! we will be in Florida with your grandpa that month."
Now keep in mind my sister hasn't booked anything yet so this may be a non issue if she can't get the date she was looking for, but she is pretty upset with my aunt. She feels that they should just fly up for the weekend, and if they want to be there they will. However, back to when I was planning my wedding I know that you are supposed to check with VIP's before you select a date. Is she in the wrong here? If someone important says early on that they can't do what you are planning should you adjust your plans so they can attend or tell them that they will be there if they want to?
I'm kind of torn since telling someone a certain weekend wont work is a little different than telling them an entire month wont work.
Re: Checking with VIPs
It's all a matter of priorities. AS a couple is your wedding date more important to you, or having certain VIP's attend your wedding?
If it is important for your sister and her FI to have certain VIPs in attendance of their wedding, then they should determine who their VIPs are, and then make sure those people are available for whatever dates she and her FI are planning on trying to book.
She should not just assume people will interrupt a previously booked vacation to attend her wedding. . . I sure as heck wouldn't, sorrynotsorry.

and I agree. If she had planned something for when I had planned and paid for a trip then she would have been shit out of luck.
I just have to make sure i really try my hardest during this process with her to NOT say "you should do this, or you shouldnt do that" I know that can get annoying. Although it took all I had not to comment when she said that the bridesmaids will have identical hairstyles :I
Let us be thr voice of reason, lol! She won't listen to you because you are her sister.

This should be an interesting 8 months!
If the situation were different, and the Aunt was only just planning a vacation for sometime in March, and nothing had been booked yet, then I think it would be an overstep for her to ask her neice not to book a wedding in March at all.

Oh also this has now turned into a family arguement on facebook between my aunt and sis for everyone to see. oh joy.
At that point I'm starting to side more with my sis. You can try to accommodate people as best as you can....BUT blocking out 4 months out of the year and saying there are no other options is tough. Honestly though it could all be a mute point if she can't get a wedding date for the time she is looking. It's less than a year out, I bet the pickings are pretty slim.
