So I have mentioned this ad nauseam but my first cousin, closest family member to me on my mother's side, supposed to be a groomsman, is having his wedding the same day as mine. Like 10 hours away. I've known since Thanksgiving and I've felt better about it and have been mad again at various times.
He claims he did not known about my date (though I told him), immediately after he decided on 7/24 he "found out" that it was my date and refused to change it, I know the venue had other dates this summer open.
Of course now our family members have to choose and this is the time they are making the choice. I got an rsvp today from my aunt whose daughter is our flower girl. I'm close with her and her husband (my uncle) and their two sons, as well as their daughter. It seems that the boys are going to my cousin's wedding while my aunt and her daughter are coming to mine. I know that this is equitable and not their fault but I feel sad that neither wedding gets the entire family there.
There is nothing I can do obviously. Just wanted to share.
