Today, I received a call from my future sister in-law, telling me that she and her future husband had decided to hold their wedding ceremony on my birthday. I was told not to celebrate my birthday, as it would "take away the attention to the true meaning of the day." FML

SuzyTurquoiseBlu tells us more.

Well, they aren't really liked in the family and I think that its both really rude and sad of them to try and piggy-back their special occasions with mine. My sister in-law and her fiancee got engaged in the waiting room while I was in ACTIVE labour with my daughter and got pissed off that everyone wasn't falling over themselves to congratulate them.

What a bitch of her. It was your special day first, they can het hitched any other day.

Celebrate it anyways. I hate self centered people.

Am I the only person reading this as if OP's future sister-in-law is OP's fiance's sister, and not someone marrying OP's brother? Not that it really matters what the relations are, I'm just slightly confused by this wording.

It's the same, but if the relationship between two people are severely damaged, people tend to use different wording to distance themselves from the other.

Tell her it's bad luck the call her venue or band and cancel lol

It kinda sounds like 16 Candles! F**** the b****! Celebrate even harder. And when they come to the long ass boring part of the wedding speeches go out with some of your friends:)

So in future your birthday/wedding anniversary are you allowed to celebrate ?

You should tell them to **** their selves and then throw a massive celebration on your birthday. I would even show up late and drunk.

Just do something the day before, that's what happened when I had a wedding on my birthday, oh and you get free money

That sucks :( I went to a cousins wedding a year ago which happened to be the same day as one of the flower girls birthdays (she was 8) . They had an ice cream cake made to look like a mini version of their wedding cake and the whole reception sang happy birthday- they were such sweet gestures.

The same thing happened to me this year. I just went and celebrated it anyway, telling them that they were X amount of years too late if they wanted to claim that day, not that I actually cared that they were having their wedding on my birthday. If you are invited, find out what time it is and plan around it, I wouldn't worry too much.
