My sister and best friend is my maid of honor. My fiance's best man has been dating my MOH for almost as long as I have been with fiance, and they just got engaged, a few months after us. I am honestly thrilled. I couldn't be happier for her. They have been planning on doing their wedding next year, a year before ours...But this morning I got a text from my MOH that she and our BM are going to wait until the year we get married, 4 months before us. I was gracious and supportive and said we would make it work. I originally didn't think this would be an issue. But I see a few conflicts and I am starting to get worried..
My dad (her stepfather) is retiring the same month of my wedding, and planned on helping us both out with our weddings. Not a lot, but what he could. I am a little frustrated with her for not considering the financial burden this may put on him, as well as the amount we both may lose towards our respective weddings because they are choosing to push theirs closer to ours.
I also planned my wedding for 2015 for one main reason, I am a full time student in nursing school. There is no way I can focus on a wedding in the midst of my education--it would just be way too much. So moving my wedding to better accommodate both couples would not be all too convenient (unless I push mine back which I'd rather not do..anyone seen 5 year engagement?) This also may conflict with my wedding planning... I am getting all the big planning out of the way before I start with 22 credits this fall, and getting little by little done when I have breaks over the next 2 years. I am going low budget, so much of my wedding is diy and will take some time...not all thrown together with a phone call and a check. So when I graduate in May, I planned on started my wedding planning crunch time..but now I will be postponed until her big day is over in June since I am one of the bridesmaids. And can I expect her to still plan things that the MOH takes care of with her wedding within months of mine?
My fiance is upset and wants to confront his BM about it, I told him to hold off and let me clear my head to figure this out. I just need a little perspective on how to approach this.
Thanks ladies
