Is it unacceptable?

[DiddlePlumbs]

It's a long way in the future yet, but I've been looking into wedding venues and stuff, just to see what's about. (No harm to be too prepared when we eventually have the money!)

I've always liked the idea of getting married to my partner on our anniversary of when we got together. Which would be the 28th May. The problem is, his best friend that will be best man will be celebrating his birthday on the 29th of May.

Am I right in saying that it's unacceptable to have the wedding the day before the Best Mans birthday?

I think I know everyone's answer all ready, and I think I know myself otherwise I wouldn't be desperately writing this post looking for justification :/

We got married on my father in law's bday, he got a big cake at the reception!

Is it a special bday, eg 30th or anything? I don't see the problem if it's not xx

I don't see any problem whatsoever! Unless it's a big birthday where he will be planning a party eg 40th - if so I would check what his plans were but even then he might not celebrate on his actual birthday so it still might not be relevant xx

I don't see a problem at all, it wouldn't even enter my thoughts! We got married the day before my friends birthday. He has a birthday every year, you'll only have one wedding. I spent my 18th at a wedding, didn't bother me!!

Ditto!

It absolutely doesn't matter if it's on someone's birthday!

I don't think it matters at all. It's your day - have it whenever you like. He should be honoured to be such an important part of your day - I'm having my hen do on my SIL2B's birthday and she's glad it saves her having to organise her own night out

I would think your day would take priority. And I'm sure he'd be so honoured to be such a big part of your day that he won't mind at all! Xxx

Thanks everyone for your replies. If we have it in the next few years it'll be one of his early 30s birthdays so no, it won't be a big one. Thanks for putting my mind at ease, you raised some good points that I hadn't thought of! I think I just over think things!

I'm back to being a content bride-to-be

I went to a wedding where my husband was an usher. It was my 30th And also the brides mums birthday too. I got a massive balloon, my own special glass and we shared a birthday cake. It was pretty cool plus I got sh*t-faced on free booze which was the last time I let me hair down before I got preggo.

I wouldn't worry about it!

Seriously wouldn't worry - he'll be honoured to be BM. Plus if he's early 30s I doubt celebrating his birthday will be that big a deal and certainly won't take priority over his best mates wedding that happens just once

We got married on the anniversary of meeting - it's a fab idea and gives him one less date to remember!

We got married the day before my husbands mums 50th birthday! We just celebrated after our honeymoon xx

Ahah, that is very true

We got married on my Uncles birthday! We sang happy birthday to him at the Reception and gave him a card (Also John Lennon's but I don't think he'd mind somehow )
