You get one day, not every day leading up to your wedding. You need to get over it.

I should have quoted. Darn.

OP was upset that her brother got engaged while her wedding is two weeks away.

Oh good lord. @LinsInLove Sweetheart, your wedding is right around the corner! Worry about that.

My SIL got engaged two weeks after my wedding. I guess I missed the memo and I should be furious.

ohannabelle · July 2014

Now everything's ruined. Nobody will even care about you, anymore.

Cancel the wedding.

Or take out a contract and have your brother kneecapped. His fiancée too, so they can't walk around being happy in front of people you know. Those selfish bastards. How dare they.

Gurl, I'm 24 days out and I got a MILLION of other things I'm worried about, if you'd like me to help you find something else to obsess over.

PREACH. I'm getting married on the same day and I feel like there is still so much to nail down.

Oh wait, are we supposed to be enemies now or something? I mean, you're getting married on MY DAYYYYY after all!

My SIL and her husband got engaged 3 weeks before our wedding, and married 2 weeks before. She actually called H and asked him if he thought I would mind. Of course I didn't. Our families are capable of being excited for two things at once. I wasn't getting married for spotlights and attention anyway. Nobody should. If that's what you're worried about, you have no reason to get married.

So many people didn't understand why I was so cool about it. Expecting everyone's lives to stop so I could have their undivided attention and adoration simply because I was getting married was so egocentric and plain wrong I couldn't even wrap my head around it. Getting married doesn't make you special or important. Sorry.

I couldn't do it, but more power to them. One week...

It was a JOP wedding, if that helps. They only waited for VIPs to be able to get into town. I wouldn't have cared had it been a whole black tie shebang either, but it does make the week long engagement seem less crazy.

DaisyMaeMommy · July 2014

My brother's girlfriend says she hopes he proposes to her at my wedding.

My response?

"What do I care? I'll be too busy stuffing my face and dancing my ass off."

Oh yeah...

I think my FMIL would lose her mind if that happened, she'd be so angry!

Agreed, I wouldn't mind if it were the month, week, day before... but I would be a bit miffed if someone did that during my wedding.

My aunt announced at my mom and dad's wedding that she was pregnant.

....my mom wasn't too fond of her new sister-in-law for the next couple years.

I agree with the others. We tell brides they get one day. I would not be a fan of someone who uses the couples ONE day to make some sort of big announcement like a proposal or baby. It can wait a day.

I am a firm believer that you get your ONE DAY. And I love babies! And engagements!

But I do think it is hella inappropriate to propose/announce big news at someone else's wedding.

Re: One day

A good friend of mine was proposed to at her younger brother's wedding (at the end, as the party was wrapping up).

They're all good-natured people so I have no idea if brother and sister-in-law were miffed, and I certainly didn't say anything, but I was quite surprised to hear that.

I think my friend's now-husband knew she was sad about her younger brother being married before her; she was one of those that expected to be engaged by college graduation. It happened at age 26 instead, so.... Oh well. I think the guy didn't want her feeling bad and that's why he proposed at the wedding.

You know what I find issue with in proposing at someone else's wedding? It seems lazy. This other couple put all these months and weeks of planning into an awesome event, and then someone shows up and uses it to his advantage. It just seems rude to the girl he is proposing to. He has to make a proposal special to fit her, and someone else's wedding is very rarely unique and special to a guest attending (as in not special to her relationship with her boyfriend).

beethery · July 2014

To me, if you're going to ask your main piece to marry you on the same day as someone's wedding, do it after the reception is over! Like hang out 'til everyone leaves, go out to where the car is parked, and ask then. Don't do it at the reception, ya shit! That party just doesn't seem like the right moment.

BFF's then-BF wanted to propose at one point, but her twin sister forbade him from proposing THE ENTIRE TIME she was engaged, which was like a whole year. He waited until just after her reception was over. Twinny was still pissed off. Sorry sugar, you're done.

wajohnson09 · July 2014

My friend was the MOH in her childhood best friend's wedding. Her boyfriend at the time was picked to be the best man (he and the groom were friends, but everyone was surprised at the best man part).

For the entire engagement the bride kept nagging at the best man to propose to the MOH during their reception because it would be soooo adorbs. Friend/MOH was offended, wanted their engagement to be their own thing, not shared with someone else's wedding day.

Anywho- he didn't propose at the wedding and they broke up a year later. She's still crabby at the bride for trying to push that

Now THAT is just cuckoo bananas.

larrygaga · July 2014

I think it's really gross to propose at someone's reception. If my FI was that rude and lazy to propose at a wedding, I probably would have said no. How embarassing. I would never want to take away from the couple's day. They get one day, and I say let them have it!!!

It says a lot about a person who thinks that's okay.

annathy03 · July 2014

My sister got married the day after me at an adorable little chapel in town. A few people commented to me about it being rude or how well I was handling it, and I told them I'd had my day and it was perfect, but also over.

Was I supposed to be mad? I guess I missed the memo, it must have come when I was busy being excited for her.
