I'm 24, my guy is 25. My sister is 22, her guy is 22 (I think)... It's always a competition with her..If I get a dime, she wants a quarter and it better be NOW. When I told her me and my guy got engaged, and the wedding will be in April, she goes off to tell me her guy is giving her a ring and they are getting married too (even though not months before hand she was complaining to my mom and me that her guy didnt want to get married for another 5 years)....
I immediately told my mom about this and she said "not to worry, even if he does give her a ring, they won't get married for awhile".
Well at the families Christmas party she was going around telling everyone of the ring her guy gave her that day and they were getting married. At this point I hadn't told anyone on this side of the family because well, not all of them are invited and I want to keep it hush.. Politely, I asked her if it was going to be a big wedding or smaller one (I'm having a very small reception and ceremony), she says "oh small, just signing the papers really"... Ok so supposedly, no reception..just signing papers and getting it over with. Sounds so romantic right??...
It gets even better... Two days after the Christmas party, my mother calls to tell me my sister had said she wanted to get married in April because that is when her and her guy started dating...By this time I had already made my mind up for April 17, and my mother knew this... She tells me my sister had planned for April 18 or 19!!! My mother calmed me down a biit and said she's trying to convince her to move it to the summer time, maybe July.
I feel sorry for my mother because she was planning on paying for some of the things in my wedding, now she has to fork out more in a small amount of time for my sisters wedding (even though my sister says they are just signing papers, I have a feeling she'll change her mind). Another thing that bothers me is it seems my sister is forcing the guy to marry her, just so she can show me up... If months before he didn't want to get married for another 5 yrs, why did he all of a sudden decide to marry her right now?... I don't know what to do... Should I be happy for her or what? I'm so confused... any ideas, help?!!?
