   BIL's wedding was 3 weeks after ours. If it were 2 weeks after it would have been a problem because we would have still been on our honeymoon. I'm not going to lie - some of H's family were not happy at 2 weddings close together. It meant 2 gifts and 2 trips for the OOT people. But honestly, it's just something you need to…

   Hi ladies, I (desperately) need some advice!My fiance is one of three boys, all in their mid-late 20s. His eldest brother became engaged in 2012, and set the wedding for September 2014. My fiance proposed in June 2013, and we decided to wait and set our wedding for June 2015, in order to respect his eldest brother and give…

   It happens with families. I know of a family with 3 siblings (2 brothers and a sister) who all got married in the same summer.

   I can understand being initially upset by it, but it's not really the big disaster you are making it to be. Give it a few days and let yourself calm down. Most likely it won't be as big of a conflict as you think. I was engaged 2 years ago and had my wedding plans set and booked a year ago, for a destination wedding that…

   It was very nice of you to be so considerate. In your case maybe a little to long of a wait, but whatever. As long as all the weddings are local I do not see a big problem. They didn't do anything wrong by picking a date so close to yours. FWIW - I would be annoyed at 2 sibling weddings so close. In my family immediate…

   There is a possibility she isn't planning on planning a shower/bachelorette for you. And you're under no obligation to do so for her if you don't want too. Maybe one of her/your other bridesmaids will want to do a shower/bachelorette. As for shopping for bridesmaid dresses, I've been in a few weddings and this has never…

   I'm just going to say this.... my brother and I are getting married 3 weeks a part. Not even a month.... it'll be okay I promise. ETA: Okay I lied, I'll add more. I come from a family with 2 brothers and one girl (me). My parents are graciously paying for my reception food/ alcohol, but for the boys only paid rehearsal…

   My sister and I had our wedding 30 days apart. It was no big deal. We each got one day. No one felt like they were stealing the spotlight. As to your issues...-My sister and I are very close, but didn't go to each other's dressing fitting - I can't see how this will be an issue in your case since it's two brothers. In fact…

   Honestly, you're overreacting just a bit on this one. You each get one day. One month apart is probably not going to step on as many toes as you think. Some family members might not be able to travel to both, but that is going to be the case with pretty much any wedding. I'd try to send out STDs first (which, logically,…

    Take a deep breath, and take it from me that while it may be inconvenient for family that has to travel, that "overlap" is no big deal. My sister was married 25 HOURS after me, and the only inconvenience I experienced was not being able to squeeze in a nap the day after my wedding. No biggie :) and I think it's pretty damn…
