Soooo....one of my best friends lives quite far away but was supposed to get married this summer in our hometown.  She had a big, elaborate wedding planned but just recently had to call the whole thing off due to personal reasons.  Anyway, just a week ago I got an email from her (sent via facebook!!!) that she is now planning a wedding in Vegas for the month after mine!  I don't mind that it is so close except for the fact that we have lots of mutual friends and now people will feel they have to choose between Cuba or Vegas!  Because we've been getting new info on our resort of choice I've been sending out updates from our wedding website to let everyone know whats going on....well everytime I send something out she immediately sends out something about her wedding to pretty much all the same people!!!Its so frustrating, I know she has a wedding to plan too but I feel like shes turning this into a competition!  Her wedding better watch out!  Haha!

    It sounds like she may be a tad bit jealous of you and your wedding.  I mean she's free to have whatever date she wants, but she shouldn't be trying to steal your guests for her wedding.  Lori do you have many people booked for your wedding yet?

    Her wedding is going down! lol. It's sad when something that is supposed to be so beautiful and such a happy time turns ugly. I wish I could offer some type of advice but something similar happened to me and all I heard was "be the bigger person", whatever that means. At least she didnt do it the same day and isn't marrying your FBIL! I think you should take it as a form of flattery that she feels the need to compete with you and your wedding... And I'm half Cuban so Cuba weddings are better! lol

    We can't officially book our resort because of problems with airlines.  There are 4 main airlines that do charters to Cuba from where I live but as of right now3 of them are not putting on flights until March 1st!!!!!  The one that is has no competition so prices are much higher than normal!  We've been waiting patiently but have decided by August 25th we are booking something regardless!  Luckily for me I have the most amazing friends ever and we have 38 that have said they have RSVP'd yes no matter where or what the price....we are expecting about 50 in total though!

    Hmmm.... Vegas or Cuba...... Cuba hands down!!!  Lol.Sorry you're going through this, but I would think that she's a tad bit jealous.  She didn't get her big, elaborate event and now needs to make up for it.  I wouldn't really sweat it.... as long as you know your family and close friends will be there for you and your FABULOUS wedding, it will be fine.

    Dang, thats rough. I am sorry that she is pulling that crap! And WTF... why do people think its okay to use facebook as wedding invitations? I had a friend from college "invite" me to her wedding via a FACEBOOK EVENT... a WEEK before. I was like WTH!?!? I have a feeling people will stick with Cuba if they have to chose between the two. Especially because your wedding has been on the books for a LOT longer. Keep your chin up girl! It will all work out! :-)

    Did she ever say ANYTHING to you about this?  Ask if you were cool with the dates, similarities, anything?  That sucks.  I planed my 6 months away from the closest friend/relative and we aren't even going to each others!  I just did not want to compete with her at all!

    Thanks ladies! I don't know why some people have to be like that!  She knew when I was planning mine in February but obviously doesn't care!  Oh well, I'm not even going to stress anymore over it!

    I know I'm extra late but I thought I would chime in since I went thru something similar.My former MOH got engaged and decided to get married a month before me. At the time I asked, I wasn't sure about a DW yet but still... she should've realized that weddings cost money. Now, she's telling me she may not be able to go.Because of that, I told her no hard feelings and took away the MOH title. Not because I was pissed (which I was and still kinda am) but because of her "not sure" status. I want to nip this in the bud from now. Point is... not to make it a competition thing but your guests WILL have to make a serious choice, Cuba or Vegas. I'm sorry she made it like that for you but remember at the end of the day, it's just about you and FI. I may be mad at my former MOH but honestly, I wish her well because she'll miss out because of a decision she made.
