I just found out that I'm an orphan. My wedding will be next year. My parents(not real parents) don't know anything about my real parents because, according to their story, a man just handed me to them 21 years ago.
So again, my wedding will be next year and I'm afraid that maybe one of my real sisters/brothers are getting married too next year. And in my situation, there's no way to find out who my real family/relatives are.

While many "enlightened" (?) Westeners scoff at the Pinoy penchant for "silly" supersitions......EVERY country has their supersitions.....including those enlightened ones..... and many people take those supersitions very seriously.
I do not think you have much to worry about.....the odds are in your favor......
First you may not have any brothers or sisters.....if you do have siblings you are probably the eldest....
most Filipinos love their children and would NEVER give them away unless they had no other option..... it is likely your mother died in child birth and your father was forced to find you a family.....in that you were a "baby" you probably have no younger brothers or sisters.....in that the average age for a Filipina bride is younger than 21 any siblings you may have had probably are married already. The odds are in your favor.
I personally do not believe in "Sukob"......I can see no logical way it could work....I see no scientific or religious support for it. What is highly more likely is that the "supersition" was created by the family of two brothers who could not afford to pay for two weddings in one year
Go ahead with your wedding and enjoy your life

From stories that I have heard, a wedding within the year of two siblings is not advisable. Misfortunes or bad luck may happen to either. It's different for a double wedding though.
I am sorry to hear about your plight. Couldn't there be any way you could find information as to your real family? Anyway, that movie "Sukob" was too much for it to pass as a real story. I don't believe that such an event happens or ever happened in real life. The movie was just out to scare the daylights out of our lives.

Don't be bothered, dear. Just go on with the wedding. Everything will be fine. Stay beautiful and concentrate on the wedding itself, not the possibility of that "sukob" thing. You yourself said that there is no way for you to find out who your real family/relatives are, then why worry? If you worry about that, you will worry everytime you make plans for the wedding and if you worry so much and take that seriously, you might end up a single 'til you grow old. Lol! Just relax and follow your heart. ;-)

i don't think so. my sister-in-law and her brother had a double wedding. the bishop who officiated the wedding was glad that there are those who don't believe in the superstition. nothing bad happened to my brother's family nor to his brother-in-law's family so i guess it isn't true.

I think you don't have to worry about this stuff, although in my province my folks still believe in this, I don't think it's real.
Believe me, as long as you work hard, believe in God no badluck or misfortunes will befall upon you.

Don't sweat the small stuff. Moreso the unknowns.

"sukob" for the benefit of our non-Filipino friends is our local superstition that it is bad luck for siblings to get married in the same calendar year, altho getting married on the same day is okay.
in your case, my dear, this is what i have to say - "what you don't know won't hurt you"
best wishes and congratulations!
