    In my family right now there are 5, soon to be 6, engaged couples. All of whom will be getting married within 2009-2010 time frame. It makes me wonder how many other brides are going through a wedding wave in their family or close group of friends?

    Are they immediate family members, cousins, close friends, etc....?

    Cousins!!  Lots of cousins. Seeing as how I have 36 of time, it's not really that strange that we're all getting married!!  (Yes, I have 36 first cousins!)

    My 21 first cousins and I have spread out relatively well.  I'm not sure that there's been more than two weddings a year, but we have gone in spurts where there is one or two a year for three or four years and then a slight gap and then they pick back up.

    I'm the oldest child/grandchild/cousin in my family.  My siblings and cousins are all younger (some by nearly 20 years) and so my wedding is the only one in my close family.  In my more extended family, there's a second cousin who is getting married at some point this year (they haven't set a date), but everyone else is either married or way to young for this to be an issue.  In the past, weddings have been pretty spread out; it's much more likely that a few will have kids close together than get married near the same time.

    I'm going to a wedding of a coworker in May, then there's my friends the "encore" super couple who are getting married this summer on the beach, and then there's another coworker of mine who's getting married in september on the beach..

    Three weddings..Oh my! but it will be fun.  Two excuses to have a blast with our friends and loved ones and go to the beach!

    And then...there's yet ANOTHER...ours!

    You left none other off the list!  That's me.  All the cousins are either already married or not in a place to get married soon (too young).
