    Are you serious?

    You get one day. ONE.  3 months is nothing.  Even if she's getting married on the same date and time as you are, there's nothing you can do about it.  It's a whole 3 months apart from yours.  Suck it up. 

    BTW, the only responsibility of the MOH is to get the dress and show up.  Nothing more is required.  So, there is nothing that either of you will need to do that can't be handled while planning your own weddings.

    I think you are being ridiculous.  Be a grown up and make nice with your sister.  You get one freaking day.  Not three months.  They aren't back to back weekends so your sister has done NOTHING wrong.  You have no business dictating when her wedding  can and cannot be.

    DH's siblings were both married within three months of us.  It didn't even occur to me to think of it as a problem.  We all picked the dates that worked best for us.  You need to get over it, you're the one creating unnecessary drama.
    This is a neglected planning bio.
    This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    Ditto GraySquirrel. When you actually cool down, you'll realize that 3 months is a LONG time (I mean how long exactly before your wedding did you expect to be the center of attention?), it's roughly an entire season apart.

    I also think she can be a great MOH, in fact, because you're both going through the stress of wedding planning somewhat close to eachother, you can better understand the stress/excitement that the other is going through.

    I don't see the problem here and I fail to understand how her being engaged and/or married would automatically make her an unsupportive MOH. An MOH's duties are all done the day of-- they aren't required to go with you to anything or help you plan. I understand the feeling that your thunder might be a little stolen, but have your moment and move on. This really wont affect your wedding in any way and being jealous wont help your wedding or your relationship with your sister. At this point, what could you do about it anyway?

    Maybe this is a good reminder about quoting people, before the post-valentine craziness?
