can siblings get married within a month of each other?

Answer 1

My sister and I did...drove our mother nuts, but we did it. I was the first one....I think my younger sister kinda got a little shortchanged, simply because our folks were still in "recovery" mode from my wedding, and honestly didn't have the energy to deal with hers as much. I would consider your parents big time in this decision, and get their views on it. If they're fine with pulling off 2 weddings within 30 days of each other, then go for it. I think it also makes a difference if the siblings are both brides. There's ALOT more work on the parents of the bride than the parents of the groom. Just some thoughts....

Answer 2

Some siblings get married on the same day and have a double wedding. I don't think there's any etiquette rule against having weddings within a month of each other. It'll just be a very busy time for your family, with planning, showers, etc.

Answer 3

I would say yes, because my two children are getting married this year...one in May the other in June....I guess I may be a little luckier than most though since my kids are in their late 20's and on their own. Both of them have wedding planners, so I don't get to participate much at all and i am finding that is just the way it is these days. Another detail, one is on the west goes, one is on the east coast....should be interesting and expensive! I am concerned about how many of our family members can attend such important events so close together and give both kids the attention each deserves without a lot of comparisons...but they seem to be ok with it and the weddings are so different...one in Mexico and the other in the Steel City....we'll see.

Answer 4

No dont. Because the 2nd couple to get married will get less gifts or cheap gifts because all the same guesting coming to the 2nd wedding need time to earn more money to spend on a wedding again. Space the weddings at least 6 months apart.

Answer 5

Why not? They can even get married on the same day as in "Double Wedding". Or one this December and the other on January next year. This is the modern times so forget all those superstitions of long ago. But if they want the weddings so close, same day marriage would be more advisable for economic reasons. Good luck and best wishes to both of you.

Answer 6

I wouldn't do it. There are a lot of reasons why it's not a good idea.
My Husband's sister tried to pull this, then she waited to get married right before one of her other brothers.
Especially if one of the parties have been planning their wedding for over a year and the other party decides to rush things along.

Answer 7

There is no law against it, but it could be a strain on the parents if they are paying for both weddings. My brother and his wife got married 5 months after my husband and I did, but since my parents paid for my wedding and my sister-in-law's parents paid for she and my brother's wedding, there wasn't a problem. If it was me and my sister and I were getting married, I would change my date to about 6 months after my sister's.

Answer 8

Of course they CAN. Is your question about edicate though? I believe from an edicate standpoint one should not plan a wedding within six months of a siblings.

Answer 9

Yes they can, but remember that the guests you invite may be a little tight for cash, and your parents may start to act like ogres if they have too much stress over the two weddings.

Answer 10

Why would they not be able to do that if they wished? They can even marry together at a double (or even triple!) wedding ceremony if that's what they want.

PS: Does mymadsky mean "etiquette"??
