| Wow, that is tricky. I am the youngest of four girls, the oldest has been married for 13 years, the next has been married and divorced twice, and the one a year older than me broke off an engagement about a year ago, so I am feeling a little pressure, too. I would say, talk to her if you feel you need to, but otherwise, just enjoy your planning and day, and let her have hers. It is kindof sucky that she would plan her wedding so close to yours, but what can you do?? Good luck!

My sis is older and getting married in July. We just got engaged and she was worried that we would get married before her. But we are planning an '08 wedding, to I told her not to worry.
Truthfully, I am a little jealous that she is getting married(me and my fiance have been together for 5 yrs, her and her fiance 3). But I am SO HAPPY for her that she has found someone to share her life with. Plus our weddings will be far enough apart that we can EACH enjoy the others wedding.

I have a sister issue too.
My sister is 4 years my elder and she is pretty resentful that I'm getting married first. She keeps trying to convince me that my man (whom she has yet to meet!!) is going to cheat on me the first chance he gets. She's pulling the same stuff she did when our father got remarried,and when our baby cousin was christened on her birthday. She's one of my bridesmaids because I love her, but I really hope she gets hissy fit out of her system before she comes down to help me pick out gowns!

Ouch, Mrs. Jureczki, that doesn't sound fun.
I'd sit down with my mother and speak to her calmly about how you feel. Let her know that this is, after all, your wedding (and your fiance's, of course) and that you are going to be the ones making final decisions. Be nice and kind, say you like their input, but put your foot down. It's your day, make the best it can be for yourself!

| My sister is the exact same way. BUt mine actually decided to wait until a year after me to get married! They've only been together for 4 months! We've been together 3+ years. Just talk to her like Jessyannn said. Thats the best thing to do.

| Although you are emotionally bothered by this, which is completely justified, it might be better to reason with her. Remind her it is unfair to ask the same guests (which will most likely be similar since you are family) to buy presents, travel, get hotel rooms, clothes, etc twice in such a short period of time. Also I dont know if you are paying or your parents, but it is also unfair to have your parents pay for a wedding twice in the same season, if they are paying. And dont forget about the bachelorette parties and bridal showers too, thats enough to break a person. Hopefully she will stop acting emotionally and think rationally. If that doesnt work, then it might be time to explain to her what she is doing and what it looks like to you, that she is trying to beat you. Hope this helps.

I have been planning my September wedding for about six months, and just a couple of weeks ago my sister announced that her and her boyfriend of 6 months (thats all the longer they have known each other as well) want to get married this fall as well. I don't really know how to handle this situation. She's my older sister, and I think she might feel like if she they don't hurry up they will be left behind. But this is also her first real relationship, and I'm afraid she might still be caught up in the lust of it and not fully know what she is getting into.
I don't know what I should do, or say to her, I feel like she is stealing part of "my day" away having her wedding shortly after mine. Has anybody else been through this??
