Eek! Good for you for being level headed. I'm glad it was an honest mistake.
@crebre....I am glad that your half sister wasn't tied to a December date for sentimental reasons. In those first few days after getting engaged you kind of float around inside this bubble...it takes a while to get back to reality =)
good catch - glad you caught it :) i had a friend do that, but she didnt care it was the same day... .some friend...
lol she may actually be tied to the date (i'm actually older by 10 years), but um i'm the big sister etc so she just wanted the date for the same reason that i did (close to a nye wedding). i hope she goes the week before. a lot of the guests won't have to travel, etc and she's going to be on a fairly limited budget, but i can go home and help her if it's the week or two before. although i'd understand if it was the day after (nye) although i'm not sure what my dad is going to do (we have the same dad). I definitely will still help her as much as I can, I mean the world doesn't revolve around me. Most of my guests will actually probably be able to go to both weddings if it's nye because they could leave the 30th or early the 31st and be back in time or maybe not because my dad wouldn't be able to be at the rehearsal... i dunno lol...
Oh bless. I'd love to have you for a big sis cre! You're so very calm and rational about things!
Wow, way too calm and rational! But i'm glad she thought about it, too! So hopefully it all works out :)
haha...funny story. Good thing it was just something she overlooked, and not that she was going to be a wicked sister!
she could try it for spite, but that's not how she is she's actually clueless when it comes to these things etc and has always looked up to me as the big sister and hey, she is my little sister so if she chose the day after I'd totally understand. but i totally would think okay wth?! you know lol!!! i am not above being a meanie, but life is too short and um I'M GETTING MARRIED LOL!!
lol she is just ecstatic about everything and it sounds like her ring is gorgeous :D how cool is that?!
Hopefully she chooses another date because although you may be okay with it, it may be hard on your dad (the rehearsals etc).
Maybe she can a Christmas Eve or Christmas Day wedding. That way she can still bring in the New Year with her new last name and ya'll could probably have a shower together.
@trugem: the same people wouldn't even be invited to our showers lol... i am not that close or cool with her to have a shower together honestly. she can have her own shower and i'll have my own (but i doubt if i'll do any)... yeah i am not sure what she's planning, etc.
Yay! You are so gracious, you sound so cool with her having a wedding a week before =]. Push her towards early December, though, so you can have time to help her out (assumign she wants your professional help?) and go on a HM and come back!
@ej: i am not sure what she wants, lol she keeps talking about having no money etc which means she'll ask our dad for money (i haven't) and he hasn't offerred it to me. she is five hours away so i am still unsure if i will be able to help her if she gets married before hand.
Awww babe! Well this sux and is exciting all at the same time. How is that even possible?
Congrats to your little sister!
and then....
I hope she chooses early November or late January. December is your time. <<I'll totally say that for you!! ;-)
@msmonicka: i wouldn't be surprised if she chose december 31st to be honest with you lol... but c'est la vie. the world doesn't revolve around me, you know?
I read your post and the hair went up on my arms! I don't think I could have been so calm about it as you were! Kudos!
@toaster: when i told M he grimaced and I was like yep isn't that crazy lol... and he was like yeah is that okay?? lol he's soo cute.
Wow! I love how calm you are about all this! hopefully she doesn't get to close to your date, though!
@cre...if she wants your expert help...she will be sensible about the date...otherwise she will have to muddle through on her own =) Little sisters....if you can survive them...motherhood is a snap...lol
@ cre...well baby cakes in December it is suppose to revolve around you. You're so calm. I'll be pissed for you then. I'm good at it. :-p
Well it's nice that she is engaged! That's crazy timing though. I hope everything works out
lol crebre.
If she doesn't have any money, why wouldn't she wait to Dec. 2011 and let you have your time. She needs to be considerate of your big day too.
Wow! You stayed so calm! Good girl! LOL! =) Hopefully she chooses a date in January! December is YOUR month! Ha!
aww..
We had friends of ours, come from a fairly big family of six, 5 girls and one boy. Two girls got married within a week of each other. One was on saturday afternoon - she went away for a week and came back friday night and her other sister was married on the next saturday. As guests it was actually a really great time, saved us coming back in 4 weeks or so. It has a plus side, and the girls did it because it was convieniant and they love each other to bits so there was no nastiness involved. Just proves it can work :)
Wow two sisters getting married the same year! That is amazing. Is she a DIY or high budget bride-to-be? LOL!!! Send me an e-mail if she is and I'll tell you why I ask.
it would be great for tax purposes to get married at the end of the year... but hopefully you can work out a compromise that doesn't involve a 5 hour dash to a different place the day after your wedding!
You're amazing @crebre80 way to keep your wits about you, I would've definitely at least made a cringey face.
crebre- it's so nice to see a post like this. Yay for your sister! It will be so fun being able to share such a special time with your sister and go through it together! :)

My half sister got engaged yesterday (very yay for her :D). I asked her when she's getting married, she said a day in December.
um what?! when am i getting married again?! i just asked her why she chose december. she said to bring in the new year with her fiance's new last name. ummm is that a december 31 wedding, the day after mine?! LMAO!!! omg... i totally reminded her that I'm getting married december 30th 5 hours away from home (my dad's family would be the ones choosing, etc)..
i REALLY think she just forgot in her excitement. and true enough she completely didn't think about it. she was like oh wait wow!! i still don't know what she's going to choose as her wedding date, but I do know that it will definitely be a week or more in front of mine or perhaps after....
moral of this story: when someone announces their wedding date, definitely don't automatically assume they chose the date before or very close to after yours out of spite, it could definitely be a duh moment on their part. take it in stride and grin lol...
