TWO WEDDINGS: Same weekend on different day

Aston Martin

Had an interesting lunch bunch coversation with the married/engaged ladies at work. Here is the question. If your wedding day (for ex) was set for 15 June 2010 but a relative asked if their day could be 16 June 2010, would you be pissed or have no problems with it? Their reasoning behind the question was that "since all our family are coming that weekend..yadda yadda". But you get my drift of the question.
I'm just wondering what other knotties would do or say. As for me, I dont think that I would mind at all. They would have their day and I would have mine.

What woud you do or say?

TIA

Your (for ex) confused me for a second, I was thinking you had a date set with your ex and now someone else wants to get married the day after it was planned.

I think it would be a bit difficult for those who would be involved in both.  One rehearsal could overlap with the others reception.  Depending on the family, it could add more stress and headache.  It could be helpful for the men involved if they could only rent a tux once.  And if it were a lot of people who would only have to travel once, that could be nice, but then someone is looking at either a Friday or a Sunday wedding.  I can see arguments for both sides on this one, but I do think it is taking away from one of the days a bit- especially if the first couple wanted to leave for their HM right away but had to stay and wait for another wedding.

I would not care at all and suggest we work to get a even better room rate since OOT guests will be staying at least 2 nights.  It would also increase the chance the OOT guests would come since they could get 2 wedding in 1 weekend!

I can see my family now, "free food and booze Friday and Saturday...count me in!"

That would be one long-ass weekend.  I'm tired enough after a weekend with only one wedding, I probably wouldn't be looking forward to doing two right in a row.

Yes, that would be a lot in one weekend. I can see the point about killing two birds with one stone, but still, if people aren't having any fun bc they are so exhausted, that isn't fair to the person who's wedding is the second day.

Yeah I would suggest any of the other 51 weekends of the year. That's a lot for one weekend. But You couldn't really push it if they wanted to do it.

I just imagine 2 scenarios happening 1) If the first couple has flight arrangements for their honeymoon the day after that would then need to be rescheduled or they would miss the other wedding.  2) The Sunday bride most likely wont enjoy the first wedding as much as she will probably want to go home and get her beauty sleep etc, and if the guests are drinkers, they will all be hurting for wedding number 2 - I just think its too much in too short a period of time, thats just my opinion.

My & my FI's wedding was set first, we were engaged first etc. My Cousin who lives 4 hours away decided to get engaged pick a date which was origianally a week after ours & now has changed it to the day before ours. This is fine & dandy but now half my family wont be coming (my Aunt Uncle & all my cousins) because they will be to tired from the night before and my grandma is so upset because she doesn't want to travel that much in one weekend. So I say if you and the other person are having the weddings close by in the same area go for if it's quite a distance don't. Just to much of a headache.

I'm kinda in a similar situation. My FSIL's 10 year anniversary is the weekend after our wedding. She decided AFTER we picked our date that she wants to renew her vows on the beach with her husband. Which pretty much meant, my FI and I couldn't take our honeymoon until after the renewal. Which doesn't sound like too much of a problem but we'd made other plans to do things in the following weeks after our wedding. So, the whole thing really messed with our plans. I was pissed...but of course I didn't say anything. And after weeks of back and forth with trying to figure out our honeymoon...we've finally gotten it figured out and booked and it's in the same month as the wedding on two weeks after. But all that headache could have been avoided had my FSIL expressed wanting a to do a vow renewal when my FI and I were initially picking dates.
