Having them so close together sounds like it would be easier on all of the OOT family you want to attend to actually make it if they only have to fly over once. Each of you will still get "your day", so why not?
Having the weddings close could be a good thing.. Good on the family that has to travel but a lot of planning for 2 weddings very soon!! Congrats and good luck!!
@futuremrshc: yeah it just seems to work. Thanks for your input! :) I think it helps that it was my sister's suggestion. Even though she will be my maid of honour, I think it'll be ok if we work together. We go to a cake shop, we pick out two cakes. Right?
I was meant to be her maid of honour but I was overseas and not sure if I would be home in time. Although hers doesn't seem to be helping much. We will both be living at home together during all the planning so it will be perfect. Hopefully not too stressful!
@organizedbride11: haha yes! Lots of planning :) I think we can do it. Thank you!
P.S. I LOVE your date! 11/11/11 :)
I think if you're both on board with the idea, then there isn't a problem! Two of fiance's cousins are getting married over the same weekend this July. One is getting married on Saturday, and the other on Sunday. It's a little unconventional, but will be HUGE help for us, since we'll be flying.
@babylou: Wow, one day apart! Haha. It's great to hear from personal experience :) thank you!
If you are both up for it, it's a great idea. You can talk to each other about everything wedding and not tire other people out. As well as shopping together. It might be a little tiring doing two at once but it seems like you are happy with it so go for it!
That is so cool! I think that would be SO special to share that time together and it can totally be done. Especially if everyone is already geared up for one, they will already be in the mindset for the second one.
What a special time to share with your sister and your new brother.. and a great story to tell your kiddos someday!
@Mrs.RDV: exactly :) my sister got all excited the other day saying, "Ooh! I found this great outlet store we can both go to try on some bridesmaids dresses!" Haha. I think it'll be great bonding time for us as well, we were never as close as I wanted growing up. Our parents divorced when we were kids so I had to take the mom role. She is younger than me. I am 23 and she is 21.
I think it's awesome that your sister suggested that! I think it would be an awesome idea, and you guys should go for it! Not to mention, how fun is it going to be to plan your weddings together! Such an exciting time for your family! Totally do it as long as everyone involved is on board!
My first thought was omg your sister will be mad but it sounds like she is totally on board, which is great! If she's happy and you're happy, I say go for it! The only potential issue I see is that the last few weeks before a wedding can be really stressful and I think you'd just have to work really hard to be done with everything a few weeks early so that you're not super stressed out during your sister's time about getting your wedding stuff done.

Hi everyone!
So my sister got engaged Christmas of 2009. Her fiancee is in the army, and she is going through cooking school, so they decided to wait until he switched programs to be a military cop and she finished school. Their wedding is set to be on September 24th of this year (2011).
My boyfriend and I have been talking about getting married sooner than we thought. We have only technically been dating for 3 and a half months, however... we've been best friends for over 6 years. I mean literally - best friends! All through highschool and beyond, he was my closest friend. Should've known it'd turn out like this! :)
We've ordered the ring and likely will be engaged in the next few weeks. The thought of waiting until next spring isn't all that appealing, and I've always wanted a fall wedding.
My sister suggested that I get married the week after her. Now, she is not having a honeymoon straight away because her fiancee's army program will not allow it. They are planning to take a trip sometime in the next year or so (I know, it's the life of an army wife!).
I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced this kind of wedding congestion, and if it's possible. My sister has already made a lot of her plans and she seems to think it cam be done! We have a VERY small family so travel is not much of an issue. In fact it's more convenient for those who have to fly here - so they don't have to pay for two flights! (There is only one couple who would do this, everyone else is within driving distance).
Let me know your thoughts and feel free to ask me any more questions!
Thanks :)
