Am I being a bridezilla?

[missmousemum2]

Hi Ladies, not sure if I'm being OTT with my preggo hormones or if I have a point.....

We were discussing possible dates for our wedding in 2012 last night. We were thinking Sept and our first baby is due in Sept this year.....

My MIL says we should wait til baby arrives and then book the wedding for what will be his 2nd birthday.... I disagree saying that his birthday should be about him and that if we do that, then our anniversary will always be on his birthday, so we'd never be able to go away for it etc etc?

They were all looking at me as if I was crazy - what do you guys think?

You arent being a bridezilla - you should be allowed to have two special days in September! His birthday should be all about him, and your anniversary should be all about you guys! xxx

I agree, you should have two dates, one four your little boys birthday and the other for your wedding

I agree with you! I personally wouldn't have my wedding on my babys birthday!! xx

I think having both in sep would be lovely! At least you'd never forget how many years youve been married x

I personally wouldn't do it. Your sons birthday should be separate from your wedding and your anniversaries. My daughters birthday was the same day as dfs cousins wedding and we wasn't able to celebrate her day like we would have wanted as it was overshadowed by his cousin getting married.

I think it being in the same month is a nice idea though. Our wedding is the 30th October my youngests birthday is the 14th and my son is due the 7th so October is going to be a great month for us each year x

although my situation is different i thought i better put something rather than read and run, I am getting married on the 17th July and my birthday is on the 19th July.....and when our first wedding anniversary comes around i will tuen 21 2 days after so we will be having a honeymoon, 1st wedding anniversary and my 21st all in one go....I think it would be special if you have it around your sons first birthday but it is entirely up to you and your OH I think you should discuss it and ignore MIL because its your day and your son

Aww that's lovely!!! Congrats hon - wishing you all the best for your big day.

Yeah if it was mine or OH's birthday, then it'd be different, but I just feel that out wee man will be just turning 2, so would feel like we were hijacking his birthday and then when he was getting a bit bigger, out wedding anniversary would be overshadowed by birthday parties for a bunch of crazy children etc.

I see no harm in having 2 special dates in the same month, I was just surprised by the weird looks I got from everyone when I voiced my opinion! lol

Never book your date on your sons birthday- your son should be prioritised (as you are doing) so book it for another day. Your son shouldn't have to spend his special day with another special day bless him. xx
