My fiance' and I got engaged two months ago, and we've been together nearly two years. His older brother and girlfriend of five months got engaged a couple weeks ago because she had it in her head she had to be married before a certain age. She insists on having her wedding next fall, knowing that ours is the following fall. The main issue is that they announced their engagement in church before us. My fiance and I haven't been able to attend together for a few weeks due to our manager putting him on schedule temp during church time. Now people from chruch have heard we're engaged, and they congratulate us, but say something along the lines, "Oh, you're engaged too?" as if we're trailing after his brother and fiancee'. It bothers me that they announced before us when we've been engaged nearly two months before them. I'm happy for them, but a little miffed. Am I wrong? And how would you handle this situation?
