There comes a time in your life when all of your friends are also getting engaged and/or married around the same time as you. You may start bumping into date conflicts, arguing over vendors, playing tug of war with wedding dresses...just stop. None of that is necessary.
We are not a sequel of "Bride Wars." We won't all have a June wedding at the Plaza. Actually, it's quite the opposite. You may get lucky like I might when your friends are looking at different lengths of engagements. I know for a fact if my boy proposed, we would have a long engagement to make sure we were financially comfortable enough to throw the wedding we want. I know another friend looking at a short engagement so that the friends they have now can be there.
It comes down to communication. Talk with your other serious relationship, engaged or almost married friends. Discuss timing of weddings, bachelorettes, bridal showers and engagement parties before setting dates. If you really want another friend there and she's important, work together to make sure everyone can make the big bash. You don't have to end up walking down the aisle to a video of spring break or having your hair dyed blue. It can actually be a painless process with a little planning.
