Would You Change Your Date?

We are planning our renewal for August of next year. A newly engaged, very close relative has decided to have her wedding next year. We will have some of the same important people involved and in our wedding parties. Our family members cannot afford to come here for both events. She has not booked anything, we have an appointment to book our venue later this month.

Mom thinks because my event is more definite, that I should continue with my plans. Even though we are renewing, this is our "first wedding" too. So I'm torn, I don't want to be selfish or take away from her day.

What would you all do?

    I wouldn't change my plans. And I definately wouldn't change my plans if she knew that I had something planned previously. However, if you know that family can't attend both events, and having them there is really important to you, then I guess that is something to think about.
    For myself, as long as the groom is there, I am not really all that concerned about who else can or can't be there for whatever reasons. But thats just me.

    I wonder if Prince William and Kate are registered at Target?

    I personally think you should go along with your plans. If you end up having your events close together, just accept that some people will go to one and some will go to the other. When it all boils down, what matters is that you and your hubby renewed your vows, not who was there to see it.

    It depends on what's more important: The date or the family.
    I had a cousin that was engaged for 3 years (holy cow, right?). By the day of she had been with her husband for 8 years total and she wanted to get married on her anniversary. Everyone knew that. Her friend wanted to book for the same weekend for some reason I never found out about and asked my cousin to move the date. She refused and most of her friends didn't show for her wedding (they were in the other girls BP while my cousin had a family only BP). The date was way more important than having her friends there. But you may feel differently. Neither is a terrible way to feel, so just go with what matters most to you.
