Is this considered rude?

I have a friend who got engaged in January 2011 and they are getting married in October 2012. Me and my sister are both in her wedding. My sister just got engaged, April 2011 and wants to get married April 2012. Is it rude to get married before our friend who was engaged first?

Re: Is this considered rude?

  • your friend only gets one day.  She can't expect everyone to wait to get married because she decided to have a long engagement.

  • 6 months apart? Seriously? No sane person would be annoyed by this.

  • The weddings are 6 months apart.  Totally not a big deal.
  • Is there a line I have to get in? In that case I am SOOPER pissed off at my best friend now. How dare that biitch get married in November.

  • It's not rude at all. I'm having a long engagement with my FI (June 2012), but one of my best friends got engaged after us (on valentines day) and is getting married this July. We're both in her wedding and I have no problem with her getting married before us. She always said she would put her wedding together in six months or less once she got engaged so I wasn't suprised at all!

    Your sister should just get married when she wants to. :)
  • Umm no.  And if the one girl gets pissed, smack some sense into her.  It will make everyone feel better.
  • No, your friend doesn't have a monopoly on the year 2012...LOL, your sister should get married when she wants to.

    This.

    We're coming to the end of our three year engagement, and if I had gotten mad at every friend/family member who got engaged and married during the period of my engagement, well, I'd be in a psych ward.

  • Your sister should get married on whatever date works for her and her FI, her budget, and her guest list.  

    The idea that she should wait until after someone else gets married is ridiculous.
  • The only person who would get mad over something like that is someone who has fallen off of the Crazy Tree and hit her head on EVERY branch on the way down.
  • Not at all, sounds like your friend is waiting quite awhile to get married and cann't expect friends to wait as long as she is.  it's not like your sister is getting married the same weekend.  My Fiance's cousin got engaged a month after us and is getting married 2 months before us.  It doesn't bother me at all.

  • I don't get why this is even a question.
