Big deal? or not a big deal?
So, here's the story. Guy has a pretty close knit group of guys that he's been friends with since H.S. One of the guys, C, got engaged to his girlfriend, E, back in October and they've set their wedding date for September. They've booked the chapel, bought the dress, etc etc etc.
Now another of the guys, R, just announced that he's getting married to a girl he's been seeing for just about two months, N. Fine, whatever, get married if you want. But, the thing is that he is saying that they are going to get married in September as well, one week after C and E.
Both weddings will require some travel (driving). My thinking is that C and E are afraid that people will not come to their wedding in favor of going to R and N's wedding, but I don't know that for sure. That's just my own speculation.
So, do C and E have the right to be pissed? Or should they just let it go and focus on their own wedding?

Stand up for something you believe in.
I voted special snowflake. I think it's perfectly legitimate for them to feel pissed. We had friends who got engaged 2 years after we had a date set and they chose the week before our wedding. I was mildly pissed but, and this is they key part I think, I sure didn't say anything about it to them. We don't share that many friends so that wasn't my concern, I was more annoyed that 1 week before our wedding I was going to need to drop everything that I was doing to attend their wedding. Now a year out from the wedding dates that seemed horrifying but when it came around all of my stuff was done and we had a great time at their wedding.
I'll reiterate...I think it's fine to feel pissed I do not think it ok to act pissed or say anything to the other couple.
The truth is if people do have to choose they will likely choose the wedding for the marriage that stands a chance over the one for people who met 2 months ago
I think they need to get over it and focus on their own wedding.... But I do think it was wrong for the other couple to plan their wedding so close to the others. That is a big financial burden for EVERYONE who knows both couples.
Just tell the first couple to get their invitations out first!
