Brother planned his wedding on my b-day

My brother has been engaged for a few months now and has moved his wedding date to my b-day which is on a Sunday this year. I don't want to be sore about this, so what do you guys think?
 
He probably did it to help him remember his anniversary?

Conceder it a complement,

That means he REMEMBERS your birthday! 😀

I'm with you there. We're catholic too, that means going to church twice that day 🙁
 
i could understand why you would be taken back... did you talk to him about it? why did they choose that day?

it could be as simple as they could not get their hall or church any day but that day.
 
how old will you be turning?

just know that at any point you can kiss your soon to be sister in law, and be like, so? its my birthday!

and you can get as plastered as you feel like, it is your birthday.

if they are having a full mass it might count so you only have to go once.
you've got that going at least. 😉

 
WTF is the big deal? Unless your 8 years old and get showered with gifts on your bday, it's just another day.
 
I wouldn't care. I'm also sure my brothers wouldn't care if my wedding day happened to be on their birthday.
 
Get over yourself.

Wedding planning is a b!tch and its impossible to not pick a day that atleast someone will bitch about, so one has to go with what's overall best for themselves.

/edit: and the fact that everyone in the entire family is together on your birthday, it could very well work in your favor$ as well. 😉

I really don't understand that. Its one day, one birthday, not stolen for life. I could never imagine having a problem giving that day up if it works for a sibling's marriage, muchless anyone else's close to me.

People sound like divas when there's not even a single ounce of disrespect intended in it at all. In fact be honored by it, its a friggin marriage, not a day long trip to the bingo parlor.
 
lets see, you will have 1 birthday every year for the rest of your life. your brother only has one wedding day his whole life. (hopefully, there is a 50% chance tho), therefore i wouldnt be upset at all.

Not being my birthday has never stopped me from getting plastered at a wedding. :laugh:
 
Dude, it's your birthday. You get one every year until you die. After 21, there is really nothing to get excited about. OTOH, you only get married once. (Hopefully... 😛)
 
Show up in your birthday suit 🙂

edit: oh yeah I haven't celebrated my own birthday in a good long time (i'm a jr in college), so I wouldn't care at all.
 
I don't understand the need to mention that he's been engaged a couple months in this either. That's a short time, but it sounds like there's some lack of respect here on your part already. Sensitivity to it being on your birthday and on your church day just sounds like a symptom of your lack of respect for him to begin with, before this birthday issue.

If that's the case stay the fvck away from him on his wedding day...bride and grooms need people to bless them on that day, not to judge them.

It would not bother me.
His fiancée and her mother picked the wedding day and not having it on your birthday is probably really low on their priority list.

You've had the honor to be asked to be the best man and you have a problem with it on your birthday and church day??? :Q😕

With brothers like you, who needs sisters.
