Let’s say your brother is getting married three months ahead of you. Let’s say his fiancé (your future sister-in-law) is rich, and let’s say you’re not. It’s kind of hard not to succumb to wedding envy when you’re concerned the two weddings are going to be compared.
That’s the dilemma a young bride-to-be presents to advice columnist Carolyn Hax:
“But I DO have feelings of frustration about spending what is, for my fiancé and me, a not-small amount of money on something so much lesser, three months after my brother’s wedding. Amy and I are bridesmaids in each other’s weddings, and I feel self-conscious every time we discuss plans. My head keeps saying my fiancé and I should just elope for cheap rather than spending money to do something so much less nice.”
