Default venting.... frusterated.. am i wrong?

ok, befoer everyone thinks i'm a huge ***** i will give you a bit of a background....

I am engaged to the most amazing man in the world. i have been with him for almost 4 1/2 yrs now. he finally purposed to me in december and we have set our wedding for 09/22/07. the reason it is so far away is because i'm saving money, waiting on full time at work and it was the only date available for our reception hall (which we booked in jan, 06) ok so now that i've said that heres my b!tch fit... lol thanks for taking the time to read this

*deep breath* ok so my DF has 3 brothers, two older one and one younger one. Anyways, the oldest brother has this girlfriend who.... well lets just say gets under my skin. shes the type of person who is all about material items, has to have the best, most expensive, biggest anything. not to mention she is so air headed. she talks like... have you ever seen clueless? EXACTLY like them. so my DFs brother is purposing to this girl on sunday the reason i am so angry is because he told me that they want to have they wedding in the end of august/2007. basically 3 weeks before ours!!!!!!!!! how fair is that?!??!?! we plan ours first have been planning and planning and they know how bad we want this and promised to do it after because they don't want to take away from "our special time" with the family while we have our wedding and what not. i know you are all thinking man this girl is so selfish but it hurts so bad because i want my MIL to be to help me and be excited for us and with them getting married RIGHT before us .... I don't know. i jsut feel like crying... we are only planning on getting married once and it's so important to us. my DF brother and GF live together is it really a huge deal to wait? how will it be different for them? me and my DF aren't living together. we aren't allowed to live together till we are married (my parents are hugely religious) and we want to get married, start our family and want to to be a very special event for both families but i feel like if they get married right before us that it will just get a repeat of theirs, if that makes sense.... i kind of wanted to be the first to get married because we were engaged first.. my DF is pissed about this but won't say anything to his brother, so i did but he doesn't care. he said they already decided. i was like we decided waaaaaaaaay before you. you are being unfair and then he called me a selfish b!tch..

am i being way to unfair? thanks for reading this... i hope it's not confussing. i'm just upset and needed to vent...

am i the only one who wants it to be a special bonding experience between me and my MIL to be. I am always behind her in everything. like at family dinners i can't even talk because she just goes on and on and on. i feel like they like her better. i just wish for once we could do something first.

OK you are not wrong!!
You have every right to feel the way you do. And maybe you should say something to the brother and his girlfriend. Just my thought If Im wrong Im sorry .

I commend you for saying something to your future BIL. It is a big deal and your not wrong for feeling slighted by it or upset. I would be also.

I remember at work my coworker was preg and we were having a baby shower for her. She was due in April and I was getting married in March. Which they wanted to have a shower for me also. But she was dead insistant on having her shower in Feb so I had to push my shower back into March and it was kinda the same situation. Not family but similar. I did feel upset that she couldn't give me my moment then have hers but I'm sure she probably felt a little the same way.

Although in your case I don't see why they can't wait like four more months unless the day they are getting married means something to them. But as you describe them they seem kinda shallow.

If they are going to keep their plans I would just be a little pushy in making sure you had your time with MIL if that is what your looking forward to. Maybe go talk to MIL and explain how you wanted to use the wedding as a bonding time with her so she know what you are expecting or hoping for. I'm sure she will be touched to know you want her input and advice about the wedding.
