Today, I found out that my fiancé's sister, who only got engaged a couple of months ago, is getting married before us. I wouldn't have a problem with this if she wasn't planning her wedding to be exactly like ours will be. FML

Tell her that it's not right to be doing that. You've probably planned for a while and she just took it like that

lmao. Hope my brother doesn't read this and do the same with me

Let me guess - you've planned to wear a strapless white gown and have a signature colour set on a background of white/ivory/champagne,a candy bar, seating plan and OTT table centre pieces = every wedding I've been to in the past 10 years. Boring.

I get what you mean, but aren't weddings meant more for the happiness of the couple than the guests? I prefer weddings when they're fun too, but if I decide to go to a wedding my main objective is to witness the legal union of two of my friends, congratulate them, and celebrate/hope for their future happiness. As long as they take the time to greet/thank me and provide me the basic stuff (ie: food if it's planned during a meal time), then I don't care whether they have the traditional ivory wedding, a more rustic sugar-shack autumn wedding, or an informal dance-in-a-school-gym wedding (all of which I've been to).The importance to me is the couple's happiness, not my own. So if one of their sisters were pissing them off and stealing whatever little uniqueness and emotional significance they may have prepared, I would find that pretty crummy.

This happened to some friends of mine. They got engaged, and then her brother started dating someone and got engaged after my friends had already set their day. The brother's fiancée INSISTED on having the wedding the day before my friends, and she filched quite a few ideas, too.

Wow that is so unbelievably rude and tacky. What is wrong with some people? Don't they want something special of their own without trying to one up someone else?

Wow. What a jealous bitch. Make sure everything in your wedding is just a notch above hers... It will end up making hers look like a cheap, tacky version of yours. Get Revenge!

I guess that's the old adage monkey see monkey do

God. I've always wanted one but now I'm glad I don't have a sister.

Stop planning. Let her do it all and the. Steal her plans.

It's sort of a compliment in a crazy unethical way. Your wedding will me 1000x better because it's what you want, not someone else's idea.
