Do you have any friends or family trying to beat your wedding? Trying to out do you? Or copy off you?
How did you control or stop it?

Stop talking to them about wedding stuff.... don't share your ideas.... Avoid them as much as possible. Keep to yourself and keep your suggestion to yourself... they are going on to deaf ears anyways.

My wedding is June 30th. My brother is getting married on August 18th. I have tried to be as gracious as I can. My fiance and I have to miss our first day of work at our new schools in order to attend the wedding. My brother is also using a few of my same vendors.
Although I have to admit that it is a little bit annoying, we are all trying to make the best of it. I'm just glad that he is finally getting married!

Why would I want to control or stop it?! Each bride and groom are entitiled to their own wedding. It's not a competition. There will be three weddings in my fiance's family between September and May (ours and two cousins). Both cousins' weddings will be bigger and more lavish than ours. I think that's great because that reflects who they each are. Our wedding reflects who we are. Everybody's happy.

I've never had it happen to me cuz my family and friends are not that shallow. It wouldn't bother me even if they did. And if someone copied me then I would take it as a compliment to my good taste. Lots of people "copy" things they have seen at other weddings. In fact that goes on in this forum. People always asking advice and those of us that tell them what we did are happy to share that information. The people who ask may then use our ideas. I think anyone that is too selfish to share their idea or get upset because someone copies them is being immature. It is just as immature to try to outdo someone. Who cares if one person's wedding is bigger than another's. The purpose of a wedding is to incorporate things that are important to the couple, not to outdo someone.

We got married in May, and we've got friends/family members getting married in July, August, September and October. (the most weddings in one year since we met!!) I am sure my cousin's wedding in July will out do ours, but it doesn't bother me, nor would it bother me if they copied off you. Everyone's wedding is going to be different in one way or another. Just remember, its YOUR day, which will make it special for you. Don't worry about what everyone else is doing, just worry about yourself.

fairly...some years from now, while all of the stress is off, you will in all probability seem back and spot that it replaced into the two one in all you and not everybody else who replaced into being unreasonable. the stress of making plans a reception could properly be overwhelming. in some situations brides and grooms tend to get a touch egocentric and forget approximately that they are making unreasonable demands on their travellers in a ineffective attempt to create a fantasy reception. Take a step back and seem at your plans: one million. Are you focusing on the social gathering and not the marriage? 2. Are you asking human beings topersistent severe distances? 3. Are you asking human beings to fund your social gathering? 4. Are you asking human beings to take destroy day from paintings? 5. Are you asking human beings to attend unreasonable circumstances between the marriage and the reception? 6. in short...are you so concentrated on bobbing up a storybook wedding ceremony which you're forgeting that after it fairly is over you are able to desire to attempt and step back into your existence?

My cousin is getting married in July to a guy she will have known for a year by their wedding.
Two weeks later, I am getting married to a guy that I have known for over 15 years.......
Either she's rushing, or I took too long... or maybe a little bit of both.
But neither of us care. We are each just going to have our wedding and be happy. Our guest lists will be very different.

Heck Yes!
It's really hard to compete with me though! Marrying my first cousin really obligates realtives and friends to come. Seeing we have been inbreeding for generations the family tree doesn't branch much.

You can't control what other people do. I would plan your wedding the way you want, and not worry about other weddings.

You shouldn't let it both you....let them do whatever they want in the end it shows others who is true and who is fake. If it is you real friends let them know how you feel. Weddings are not suppose to be a competition.
