Friends wedding a month after ours, so thinking of changing to autumn/winter??

VK-2008

what exactly is the prob with with the weddings being a month apart?

its two seperate occaisions

enjoy both days

it would not cross my mind if that happened and i certainly would not change my date

as for whenever you pick your date any month it fab too be married in

i was a june bride and was lucky had a hot day

as for a winter wedding the colour themes can be great
an autumn wedding is great for scenery too.

How about the 11th of nov , ie 11/11/11 because he is THE 1 (ONE) , (why did they kill the shruggy smiley?) or maybe it's just me that's into number's in a weird way.

Haha I love that idea! I wanted to get married on New Years Day for the same reason - 01/01/11 - but our venue wasn't available that day

i couldn't get married on remembrance day it always rains and rightly so. its a day to remember those so i could never do the 11/11 for anything.

winter weddings are warm in colour

( and i'm getting married in december haha!)

I agree, I don't see it matters that they are a month apart.

Our wedding will be a month before my partners' cousins wedding. They booked their date since November last year for 2012. We recently got engaged, and the venue we love is so fully booked that the next available date is in 2012. Not only that, but they only had 2 dates in 2012 left, one of which was his cousin's wedding date, so we have gone for the other one which is 3 weeks before theirs.

I spoke to them about it before we booked it and they were fine with it. If it was the other way round, I would be fine about it as well. It is two separate occasions- go for whenever you would most enjoy

i would seriously reconsider the though of you changing! why shoudl you? at end of day its not like they are a day apart? what does it matter 1 month, if i went down that line whats the difference between a month, 2 months, a year etc

just remember there are only so many days a year

at some point people are bound to clash etc!

We changed our wedding date because h2b's brother was getting married the same time as us and it was causing arguments with the other b2b being overly jealous and insecure; she couldnt bear having anyone mention the two upcoming weddings in the same sentance. So, their wedding is over, we have 9 months to go til ours and the arguments are still there and are probably worse as people still talked about both weddings. Its gutting knowing you've stepped aside and it hasnt solved anything. Wish we'd just gone ahead as planned.

If i were you, i would speak to your friends, tell them you're booking so and so date and you hope they will be a part of your big day. If they are good friends they will be happy for you, if they cause a fuss then perhaps you're not as good friends as you thought and dont let them bother you.

We are getting married on the 30th October this year. I love the idea of an autumnal wedding but have never wanted a summer one - our birthdays are july and august so wanted something different!

Really looking forward to it. We also didn't tell anyone until July as we didn't want people comparing us to other people and other weddings - we also didn't want what his mother said - could you not afford a summer wedding?

I personally love the reds and browns that come with that time of year. I am getting married in a red dress and have brought the reds and warm tones well into the wedding. Think it will be ace! Looking forward to it. In the end go for what you want not what you feel someone else wants it's your wedding

I'm getting married on the 01/10/10 cos i liked the numbers, i wanted 12/11/10 originally but it was taken.

I'm funny about numbers too, so 02.06.2012 is ideal

I would speak to the other couple and see what they think. Weddings will always occur at similar times, some of OH's more distant family might not come to our wedding as another family member is thinking of the same date. We're annoyed as we booked first but that's the same date - the same month would be fine!

i am getting married in October next year, one of my oh's best friends is getting married in the May, we actually started looking for venues before them but didnt commit and then they got engaged and booked somewhere straight away. I wouldnt of liked them to be that close together so tahts why we went with October just before the clocks change or otherwise it would of been 2012
