    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.

    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.
