He really didn't know, they don't talk every week and I'm sure she never thought to mention it, he doesn't know all her friends, Her BF is in a band and there is a large following so other events are always taking place. A wedding in October just never came up.

It's not just the venue, flowers, cake, plane tickets, travel for out of town family, honeymoon, decorator, hair and make-up, everything has been booked! I don't expect her to not go to her friends wedding but does she have to be the MOH?

We had already booked everything before we told anyone we were getting married, months ago. None of the family knew, I never imagined that anyone would have something booked for the same date so far in advance. It is our fault and we did not check with family for dates because we booked early to get in this year before we announced anything.

I know. it doesn't matter to me at all, I don't care what she wants to do, I understand her commitment, it's the FH I'm thinking about, he's the one who won't be happy. I know he's an adult and he has to work out for himself, I just wish there was something I could do to help. He is closer to her than anyone else in his family.

I can't think of how, she is the maid of honor so she can't exactly leave, is it unreasonabe for her to tell her friend that she can't do it so she can make it to both wedings?

The date we booked was the last one they had left this year so we had to take it and it's a Friday so I didn't think it would be an issue.

I thought about her trying to make it to both but she is the maid of honor so she has obligations at the other wedding and can't really leave. Ours is at Beantown and the time is set for 6pm so it would be hard for her to get out there as the other wedding is in the city.
I hope she makes the right choice, friends come and go but if she misses her own brothers wedding there could be serious family issues in the future.

I don't think he will say anything about it, he is not the type. She won't know how he really feels about it and he will never forgive her. How can someone even consider missing their brothers wedding for a friends?

I am a wedding coordinator and have been for 10 years, I have a Psych degree and I meet hundreds of couples every year I have had a first hand glimpse of every family dynamic and issue you can think of. So here is my informed opinion...
First of all, as I'm sure you've heard, you are both too young to be getting married. The person you are now and what you look for in a partner are not the same as they will be in 10 years I guarantee it. It's 2% of couples who make it marrying that young these days. If you are meant to be, wait. If you feel you can't, then part of you knows already that it won't last.
I just got engaged a few weeks ago, I am 30 years old and when I think back on the men I have dated and thought I wanted to spend my life with I am shocked and surprised that I even considered them. I did most of my "changing" after I turned 27, so just wait.
I have three younger sisters and they are all around your age, one (22) has been in a relationchip for 6 years and they are waiting until they are older to get married.
If you are adding to that complications with his family, your chances get worse.
I hate to be so negative and I truly feel for you but there it is. Not only that, it sounds like he wants you to adjust and make a better effort but I wonder what he says when his family says they don't approve. If his father has tried five times to talk to him, it's because your fiancee has not firmly said, "I'm marrying this woman and that's that so get used to it!!"
It sounds to me like YOU could do better. In my family it is the other way around, my family is better off then his, I grew up in a wealthy neighborhood and he on a farm. I can't imagine how hard it would be if my family didn't approve but I also know I would be embarassed by their behaviour and understand completely if he didn't want to marry into that as such a young age!
You don't have the life experience yet to deserve such a hard time in what is suppossed to be a very special event. Enjoy your youth, and live before you commit to what sounds like a miserable situation with a man who may or may not truly be on your side.
I'm sorry if that sounds insensitive and I know it's not what you want to hear but it's the hard truth.
All the best.

Help....the twin sister of my fiancee has commited to being the maid of honor at a friends wedding on the same day. He is so upset and hurt. I don't know what to do. Should I talk to her and make her realize how important it is to him that she be there? Do I get involved, I want him to be happy.
