    Marriage Ettiquette
    My future brother in law and fiancée are getting married in June, My fiancée and I just got engaged but don't want to have to wait long to get married, how many months after my brother in law gets married should we wait to get married? Thanks
    Lost in etiquette

    I will merely say who really cares ?

    You set the date that works for you and your fiancée. Of course double weddings can be great and saves everyone a lot of cost on a larger wedding.

    I agree with Fr Chuck.

    Who cares.

    They are not getting married until JUNE 2007? That is 8 months away.

    Why not get married in April or May 2007?

    If that is too soon, June or July is fine as well.

    I too agree. However, a double wedding may be nice if you are all very close, but other than that each bride should have her special day.

    I don't really think it matters. The brother-in-law's intended in-laws will handle that wedding and your intended in-laws will handle yours so there shouldn't be any problem at all.

    Does it really matter!
    Its entirely up to you and no one else.

    I agree with everyone - it shouldn't matter at all...
    I do think that people can get a bit funny about this sort of thing, though...
    So, before you decide anything, maybe the siblings could have a quick chat, just to make sure that a mountain's not made of a molehill...
    I'm not saying you should follow the other couple's whims - but just that it might be nice to be a bit courteous and reach a consensus... It might prevent problems later on...

    You should do whatever makes YOU happy,. Make any date you want to.. It is your wedding! THat is entirely up to you! I do not believe there is a formal ettiquette for getting married.. Just do what feels good to you and your partner...

    It's all about you. It is your special day. I wouldn't spoil your day with a double wedding. I recommend picking a day that you would agree on.
