Engagement Right
Is it right for my sister to announce her engagement right after mine?
I just got engaged this July. I am almost 30 and this is my first wedding. It is also my fiances first wedding, we have been dating 2 1/2 yrs. Our wedding is one year away. My sister has been married 2 times and just got divorced again about a month ago. She has been dating a guy for 5 months and right after I annouced my engagement she came forth and annouced she and her boyfriend were getting married in a month and a half. I don’t mean to be selfish but it seems unfair because all of the family rounded around her to help her plan and get ready and pretty much put me and my fiance off. Now all I hear is about how her dress shopping is going, where they picked to marry etc. I feel her timing is tacky as it is her third wedding and I feel like she is stealing our thunder with this. She has always been mean towards me and I feel that this is a purposeful stab at my happiness. Am I just hypersensitive or is it really rude that she do this to me on the brink of my first wedding?
You poor thing. This reminds me of what happened to my mother..who was engaged for two years and getting married on the 15th..her sister didn’t even get engaged she just said she wanted to get married a few weeks before her wedding date of the 19th on the month that was before the month my mother got married on.
Well she might have upstaged my mother but my aunt’s marriage lasted only a week or two and then she went back to this other guy she was seeing (they are still together unmarried). My mother is still married to my father after 40 years of marriage.
So don’t worry about her honey, as she will fall flat on her face. She just wants the spotlight but she won’t get the happiness I’m sure you will in your marriage. Congrats to you and keep your chin up. I’m sure what she is doing will escape no one.
