She Asked Her Cousin To Move His Wedding Date, As It’s Scheduled The Day Before Hers And She Feels That Will Ruin Everything
If you’re married and had a traditional wedding, did you have someone get married very close to your wedding date?
One woman recently had to ask her cousin to move the date of his second wedding to his wife because it was scheduled for the day before her first wedding.
She’s 29 and has a 33-year-old cousin named Frankie. Frankie has been married to his wife, Nora, for 15 years. They got married right before Nora’s 18th birthday.
Because Frankie and Nora were young and didn’t have much money when they got married, so they eloped at a courthouse with two other people present. Now that they’ve grown and have more money, they’re ready for a traditional, big, white wedding.
Frankie and Nora got their family together to announce they’d have a big wedding in September.
“Usually, this wouldn’t be a problem,” she said.
“I’m happy for Frankie and Nora and excited to get to attend their wedding. However, the date they’ve picked is the day before my wedding. My fiancé and I have been together for nine years and have been planning our wedding for the last three years. We’ve had our date and venue booked for two years. Our save the dates only went out last month.”
She pulled Nora aside and asked if she and Frankie were joking about their wedding date. Nora didn’t see an issue with the date and mentioned that it was the day she and Frankie first met, which is why they set it.
She was upset for the rest of the day, and Frankie caught on. When Frankie asked her why she didn’t seem happy about his second wedding, she told him it was rude of him and Nora to make it one day before hers, especially when her save the dates had already gone out.

“I told him that he had essentially ruined my wedding because no one is going to attend two weddings in a row on a weekend, especially not our elderly grandparents,” she recalled.
“Frankie apologized and said he didn’t know our wedding date when they booked it. He told me that they weren’t going to move the date and had the gall to suggest that I move my wedding if it mattered that much to me.”
She then snapped at Frankie and told him it was tacky to have a second wedding when it was their choice to get married at 18 when they had hardly any money.
Frankie and Nora left the gathering early, and she later received some angry messages from him and his mom, who is her aunt. Now, her family is split. Some agree with her that Frankie should move his wedding date, and others are defending Frankie and Nora.
Was she wrong to snap at Frankie, or was her anger valid?
