A lot of people get married on a Sunday. Jews, for example. Or people who want a venue but that venue is already booked for the Saturday.

Messy, I hope you don't have children or any children in your life. You're a mean-hearted twit.

Perhaps, but lots of people have Sunday weddings and a one week turn around on printing and mailing "save the date" cards is pretty quick if she did wait until her step sister announced her date. Also, I would think he would have mentioned that he couldn't get a flight if that were the case.

as a minister's daughter, most churches do not schedule weddings on Sundays.. that's when services are held

I was going to say, I’m quite sure, in the Catholic Church anyway, weddings are not permitted on Sundays. It may be different for other faiths, though, I’m not sure, may their Day of Rest or Sabbath is not a day set aside for wedding ceremonies...?!

Have you ever planned and paid for a wedding? You don't send out save the dates until you actually have a deposit down on a location that you're actually going to get married. That means that within a week you wanted her to change her date and then lose out on tons of money by canceling her deposits, meaning that she would probably have had to wait until the following year to get married, because everywhere books out that far in advance.

As I've never planned a big wedding I don't know: Does one send out "save the date" notices before or after one's given non-refundable money to the venue? Because if it's after, he either needed to tell whichever bride picked the date second to change it, or he needed to leave the damn reception early like a sensible person. I just hope he left sober.

I think whoever announced the date first, or booked it first, should have been given ‘preference’. If the BD went and booked the next day, sent out her save-the-dates a week later, and expected her father to pick her over the stepdaughter, that’s a bit of a red flag, and luring him into a fight as well...

@The-JoeBai exactly. I am surprised more people didn't realize the Biological daughter's intentions. She sent out her date a week after knowing her step sister's wedding. She was hoping the he would skip his step daughters wedding and onky go to hers which is a s****y thing to do and then get upset when he can'tmake hers. If she had chosen another date all of this could have been avoided. She was trying to be spitefull towards her step sister. And then being so immature that she'd have her friends attack her step sister and her husband on Facebook when they sent their dates way before theirs.

Wedding planning takes a long time- chances are, the BD booked the venue for that date BEFORE SD sent out invitations.
