Unfortunately, the acronymwwwhas been in use for more than three decades, so I definitely can’t use it to refer to‘Weird WeddingWonders,’which is exactly how we can classify stories like this one that we’re going to tell you today.
Well, it’s one thing when one of the newlyweds loses their nerve right at the ceremony or immediately after it – after all, this is not only a big day, but also a big stress. Butthe user u/2014olympicgoldis telling us about wedding planning. Okay, about some bizarre wedding planning…
More info:Reddit
The author of the post got engaged 2 years ago and they appointed their wedding to September 2024 in advance

One of the bride-to-be’s friends was invited to be the maid of honor – and she accepted this invitation happily

Then, last year, the future MOH got engaged too – and unexpectedly set her own wedding for the very next day after the author’s

Moreover – the second bride invited the author’s fiancée to be her maid of honor too!

However, the author’s girlfriend strongly rejected the invitation, and most of their mutual friends RSVP’d No to the second wedding in a row as well
Well, the Original Poster (OP) and his fiancée got engaged back in May 2022, and appointedtheir weddingfor September 2024. Long-term planning, after all, has its advantages – for example, less competition for a wonderful wedding venue, doesn’t it?
So, the wedding was scheduled, the venue was chosen, and the bride-to-be even invited one of her friends to be MOH at the upcoming ceremony. The author notes that he had not liked this friend for a long time, and he clearly expected some kind of trick from her. Well, that’s what happened…
So, in 2023, the MOH-to-begot engagedherself – and what a surprise for the OP’s fiancée when, firstly, it turned out that her best friend’s wedding was scheduled for the day after her own ceremony; secondly, the venue was located about an hour’s drive from the author’s venue; and thirdly, the author’s girlfriend also received an offer to become the maid of honor!
Of course, the woman was forced to refuse such a high honor – well, simply because, as you yourself understand, the next morning after your wedding, you will obviously have other plans than attending another nuptials! Moreover,other guestswere also faced with a choice (and the women had lots of mutual friends). And, of course, they made a choice in favor of the wedding scheduled earlier.
Oh yes, and some kind of icing on the cake – the original poster says that the second bride is going to invite the same photographer andfloristto her wedding whom his partner chose for their own nuptials too. In general, it definitely looked like parasitizing someone else’s ceremony. And, to paraphrase the good old movieCasablanca, “I think this is the ending of a beautiful friendship…”

“To be honest, this has never happened in my extensive professional practice,” says Denis Tsikanovsky, awedding hostfrom Tel-Aviv, Israel, whomBored Pandaasked for a comment over this case. “Planning two weddings in a row per se is associated with many organizational difficulties, and if the guest audience is pretty much the same, then refusals are inevitable.”
“Well, it’s hard to imagine that the bride, literally the next day after her own wedding, instead of going on herhoneymoon, will change clothes for the second ceremony a few hours later. An unfortunate decision – that’s all that can be said about the very idea of having a second wedding for a second day in a row,” Denis concludes.
This suggests a logical decision on the part of the second bride (well, ‘logical’ is not a proper word for a person making up such an idea, but still…) And yes, in the update under the original post, the author wrote that the ‘best friend’ ended up moving her wedding a month earlier – to August. The bride tried to put a good face on the bad game, telling the guests that it was an ordinary mistake, but the OP’s fiancée still said that she would not be at that wedding. And, perhaps, it was right of her to do so. So what do you think?
Most of the commenters criticized the second bride heavily, assuming it could be banal envy in her head
