Re: Am I outta line? I don't think so.
You sound like you're 16 and you just found out that your best friend not only bought the same dress for prom but asked out the guy you were going to ask to be your date.
You do not have claim to the entire month of December, hell you're sharing your wedding date with hundred--maybe thousands of total strangers. Get over yourself.
I got married on Valentine's Day, but you don't see me ripping flowers out of the hands of other women and ripping up their anniversary cards because it's MY day. I know I share it with others, that's okay--it's more important as the start of my life together with DH than some placeholder than says "it's MINE!".
You really sound like a child. You guys got married in secret and are now pi$$ed because BIL is getting married in December? What did you expect? You behaved like a child when you "hid" your marriage and started planning a "secret" wedding. Now you've gone off the deep end b/c he's got the audacity to wed in the same month as you.
Are you effing kidding me???? You're pi$$ed off and willing to blow off your H's family wedding because BIL is getting married next month when you've been married a year? Really? This screams entitlement.
So what if it's in the same month. Maybe his FI likes Christmas. It's also cheaper to get married in December than in May so maybe they wanted to save money, or maybe they like winter instead of spring, summer or fall and they just think January sucks. There's endless reasons to why they picked December, and it's NOT just because his brother did. You can't claim the month. Hell, you can't even claim the day. My friends C&J got married December 6 - if that's your anniversary date, guess what? Pick your battles, honey.
As for ruining the surprise LAST YEAR - get over it. Sure, it sucks to have someone rain on your parade and spill the beans meant for you to spill. I'd have been upset too, for a few days back then. But it was LAST YEAR. Stop holding petty grudges over something that happened LAST YEAR. It's childish and ridiculous and petty. Why wouldn't they want you to show your face? Could it be because you make mountains out of molehills?
I'm not trying to be a bittch, I'm just stating the true reality in the grand scheme of things. I wouldn't say so as much that you're out of line, but rather that you're blowing something small way out of proportion. Put on a pretty dress, a pretty smile and be with your H at his twin brother's wedding.
Anyhow- I do wonder if this just isn't really good MUD, or if the OP realizes what an idiot she is. The fact that she hasn't been back to answer the VERY simple question of does she realyl only know 11 other people in the world so that NO ONE shares the same month....

I hereby lay claim to the entire month of April - I want to annouce it here so that all you nest chicks know to leave the month of April alone.
April is MY month - my name is April, I was born in April and my child was born in April. If ANY of you try to do anything I will be contacting my lawyer and he will hunt you down for ruining my pretty princess month.
Nuh-UHHH! I got married in April so you have to share, and share alike. My mom said so.
LOL!
OP, lemme guess. You're 19? 20?
