Woman Thinks It’s ‘Weird’ Her Best Friend Is Getting Married on Her Birthday

A woman is puzzled by her best friend’s wedding plans.

In a post on Reddit, the 26-year-old woman shared that her best friend is set to marry her longtime partner. “This is something we both have been talking about for years now, and it’s something she’s always wanted. I’m so excited and I’m going to be part of the wedding as well,” the OP (original poster) noted.

However, the OP recently received her invitation and was surprised to discover that her best friend has planned a destination wedding in Las Vegas that will take place on her birthday.

“I know she knows it’s my birthday, but she hasn’t mentioned it at all — like no acknowledging that it’s the same day. Every time it’s brought up, I just kinda nod along and do my best to be supportive, but I think it’s really weird,” the OP wrote.

Now, she is not sure how to handle the situation.

“I feel like I need to say something, obviously, but I also know they already booked the chapel for that day and a couple others going to the wedding have already started buying hotel rooms and flights. I have no idea how I should even bring this up,” she concluded her post, asking for advice.

In the comments section, many readers shared the opinion that this should be a non-issue for the OP.

“Your friend is getting married, and you’re taking their choice of date far more personally than you should be,” one person wrote. “A lot of different factors usually go into choosing wedding dates, from price to venue availability to when you know you can get your family and friends in one place. For destination weddings, hotel availability and flight prices come into play too.”

They continued, “If you can’t attend or don’t want to attend because of your birthday, you can absolutely voice that, but there doesn’t seem to be an a—— issue here.”

Someone else chimed in: “Lots of things happen on our birthdays, and because we are adults we deal with it. Don’t say anything. Don’t pout like a little kid. Your birthday is only a priority for you.”

The general consensus was that the OP should refrain from saying anything to the bride-to-be about her choice of wedding date.

“Don’t make her planning her wedding even more stressful than it already is. I’m sure when the date was picked, other factors played a more important role than the birthday of a friend falling on the same day,” one commenter said, offering some simple advice: “Enjoy your friend’s wedding!”

Another reader suggested that the OP find another time to celebrate her birthday with her friend, and yet another encouraged her to see the chosen wedding date as a positive.

“I would thank her — she’s giving you two reasons to celebrate on your birthday!” they pointed out.
