She’s Furious That Her Sister’s Wedding Date Got Moved Because Her Best Friend Already Changed Their Wedding Date So She Can Attend Both, But Her Sister Just Booked The Same Weekend Again
Next year, this woman’s sister and best friend are getting married.
She and her sister live in the United States, while her best friend lives in the Philippines.
Coincidentally, both her sister and best friend had their wedding dates set for October 5 the following year.
In June, she let them both know about this.
Even though she would obviously love to attend both of their weddings, she told her best friend that she would have to prioritize her sister’s wedding.
“Jokingly, I said that I could attend if she moved her wedding to a different date,” she said.
Her friend told her that because she really wanted her to be able to attend, she would move her wedding date.
A couple of weeks later, her friend reached out to let her know that her wedding date was now set for October 19 of next year.
“I thanked her and was touched that she moved dates just so I could attend the wedding. I told my sister about it. For the past couple of months, I’ve been telling my family that I’m attending two weddings next year, both in October and in different countries,” she explained.

Her sister didn’t book her wedding venue until a couple of nights ago.
Then, her sister informed her that her wedding date was actually October 18 the following year.
She didn’t realize right away that there was a conflict between the two weddings.
Yesterday, it dawned on her as she was giving her sister a ride to work. She informed her sister that her wedding is on the same day as her best friend’s (October 18 in the United States is the 19th in the Philippines).
Her sister told her she hadn’t known the date of the other wedding she was attending.
“I told her that if she forgot, she could have asked me about it before booking her new wedding date, as I already told her that they both have October weddings,” she shared.
She continued, asking her sister if there was any way she could switch her wedding date, considering the fact that her friend had already gone through with the trouble of changing her wedding date so that she could attend.
However, her sister said that the venue was already booked, and the 18th was the only October date open at this particular venue in the first place.
During the conversation, she felt really angry that her sister didn’t seem to understand her perspective. For a while, she thought she was going to be able to avoid missing out on her friend’s wedding since her friend switched her wedding date to accommodate her.
Since she now can only attend one of the two weddings, she is still planning to go to her sister’s wedding instead of her best friend’s. She feels terrible that her friend did her best to make it possible for her to make it to both weddings when she now has to choose one over the other.
She did some searching for flights, but the shortest flight available is 18 hours, which obviously wouldn’t work for trying to get to both weddings.
