Am i a terrible friend?

Beth, 4 November, 2026 at 06:43 Posted on Planning 0
I am looking some advice.


I’ve been engaged since August 2024 and my partner went to uni to finish his teaching that year. The plan was for him to come home summer 2025 and for us to plan our wedding for summer 2026/2027… I then found out in June 2025 I was pregnant and we welcomed our baby girl into the world in feb 2026 (obv postponing wedding planning).

One of my best friends got engaged this year and it’s so exciting!!!! She then told us that she has booked hers for 10th July 2028!
Myself and my partner have been going to weddings viewings and have actually booked ours for start of June 2028.
This is where the problem comes in, I feel like a terrible friend because it’s the month before hers. I have always wanted a summer wedding, we had asked for May dates so that it wasn’t just before hers but unfortunately the dates aren’t available. We cannot do August due to close family birthdays and weddings anniversary’s.

I had a conversation with my friend and she said if she had known she wouldnt have booked hers for then. She has also said we have the same friend group and it will be hard for them to attend two hens especially if both are abroad.
How I done the wrong thing? The above comments have made me feel terrible. She suggested possibly moving mine until end of August/ September so May isn’t so hectic but to me this wouldn’t matter? We would still have two hens within the same year etc? She said she would want to enjoy mine without feeling stressed for hers etc.
We don’t want to postponed ours even further until 2029 because we do want another baby. I never wanted a 3 year age gap.
