I've been engaged to my fiance for a year and our wedding is in October. My older brother (by 2 years) proposed to his long-time girlfriend just a few months ago and have decided on a September wedding, exactly a month before ours. My fiance and I have taken extreme offense to this but have not made our feelings clear to any of my family. Their wedding will be very large and expensive, and almost like a mini family reunion, while ours has always been intended to be small and exclusive. We feel that they have put our special day in the shadows while stealing the light for themselves. I feel embarrased when I have to explain why people going to their wedding are not invited to ours. The logistics and madness of two weddings is overwhelming too.
My fiance and I have fought over this, have cried over it, and worry that this will have a lasting negative impact on the relationships of our new families. What can I do? Awkwardly we are eachothers "best man", but I feel anything but right now.
