Two Weddings on the Same Date!!

[kansas13]

Ok, so here’s the problem (actually it’s Mr. kansas13 problem, but it has to be solved)…..

Back in Oct. 2004 when we got married a friend of mine from college and Mr. kansas13 best friend/best man hooked up at our wedding. The only problem was my friend lived out of state. Before that my friend was contemplating on moving up here because she found a couple jobs at a good company. One of my best friends and bridesmaid worked at the company that my friend was looking to get a job at, so basically she put in a good word for her, she got the job, and BAM my friend moved up here.

Flash forward two years later to today. Both of these friends, the friend from college who was dating Mr. kansas13 best friend and my best friend that stood up in our wedding, got engaged at the beginning of this year. The problem was they were both looking at same day…7/7/07.

My best friend was hesitant on doing so, so she took my husband with her and her fiancée to the tasting at the place she wanted to have the wedding at. It was there that her and her fiancée asked my husband to be a groomsman in their wedding, which my husband of course accepted.

My best friend was also afraid that Mr. kansas13 best friend would ask him to be his best man (which he had not yet) and they would have the wedding on the same day. That is why she was hesitant about booking the place on the same day, but it was under the impression between both girls that whoever booked that day first would get it (and my friend from college would have done the exact same thing), so my husband told my best friend to go ahead and book it. The first thing that my best friend did, which she did not have to, was call Mr. kansas13 best friend and my friend from college and tell them that she booked 7/7/07. Of course they were not happy at all and have not called or spoken to her since, even after my best friend has tried many times to reach out to them.

Not even two hours later Mr. kansas13 best friend called him and told him, “You know you are the best man in my wedding,” trying to cover up that three months after his engagment he still hadn't asked him while his soon to be wife asked all her girls before they were even enganged. My husband did not assume he was the best man because A) he has a brother and B) he told of us of another friend he was thinking of asking.

To make a long story short…to late…my college friend and Mr. kansas13 best friend booked their wedding the same day as my best friend knowing that my husband would have to make a choice. I am the matron of honor in my best friends wedding.

So what should Mr. kansas13 do? Stand up in my best friends wedding, which she did technically asked him first and had the date first, or his best friends wedding? This situation really does suck!!
