I really just want to know what on God's green earth I'm supposed to do about this. My fiance and I have been engaged for almost 2 years, and about 2 months ago decided to set a date: August 11, 2012. We waited such a while to set ourselves up in a better financial situation. ( I graduate with my master's about a week before the wedding; he starts medical school soon after the wedding).
We were "smart" about the practicalites of life, and both mine and his family approved of our situation without question, understanding our wise financial decisions. Then a problem arose: my fiance has a younger brother (just turned 18 in July) who decided to propose to his girlfriend about 3 weeks ago. They're now getting married three weeks before we are (July 21, 2012).
I'm not worried about their getting married before we do; I'm not that petty. The point is that my future in-laws have totally stopped all enthusiasm for our wedding because of the shock of their youngest son's upcoming nuptials. They've said in the past that they are very interested in helping us plan our wedding, but again, so shocked they've stopped talking about any weddings, ours or theirs.
I'm getting a bit concerned because it's getting down to the wires of deciding budget and assigning tasks, etc. and they're refusing to discuss anything.
I'm sorry this post is so long, but I'm in need of some opinions. What is my next move?
