Do I please family or myself when choosing Wedding Date?
Background info:
My sister and her family lives in Japan and can only visit for long extended stays during the summers (she’s a teacher).
My fiance and I LOVE autumn in Chicago…want a wedding October 4th, 2008.
As you can see….that’s not a summer month. So the chances that my one and only sister (who I’d love to make a bridesmaid) and my lil nephew (my ringbearer) are very slim.
Both parents continue to say “Why can’t you have your wedding in the summer?” Summers in Chicago are comparable to hell….high humidity, lots of tourists, and so many weddings to compete with.
My sister said she has a long weekend on October 4th….so she could possibly fly in Thursday and then leave on that Sunday (but coming from Japan…that’s no easy feat). My sister said “Monica, don’t let me dictate when you should have your wedding…but to think I would miss my only sister’s wedding.”
Ughhh…what do I do? Summer ’08 or October ’08. I love my sister! I love autumn!
It really is YOUR day, but please consider this carefully.
If you have a Fall Wedding, will it still be great without your sister there to share it with. Remember that you and your sister have to live half a world away. And for the rest of your life, you may regret that she wasn’t there to hold you and help you prepare to walk down the aisle.
This is a decision that will be remembered by you for the rest of your life. Every time you flip through your photos, you will remember This Day. Be prepared for how you will feel if your sister is not going to be a part of that.
Very importantly, you said that she could fly in Thursday and leave Sunday. I don’t see the problem. I live in Taiwan, and I have had to fly back to Canada many time for only two or three days. It’s not easy, and she may feel exhausted afterward, but it might be the best solution.
