JP's sister just announced the date of her wedding and she has decided on his birthday. She says it was the only day available at the venue of her choice. For him, his birthday will be consumed by his sister's wedding and not how he normally spends his birthday - which is usually filled with things he would like to do.
Now, strangely enough (or not), his other sister chose his birthday for her wedding about 10 years ago. So now both his sisters will have wedding anniversaries on his birthday.
So my question to you is: Does it matter if a sibling gets married on your birthday? Doesn't it only affect you on the wedding day? For the following years your birthday can continue as you want it (except when they have a 5, 10 or 25 year anniversary party). Is there another reason a bride would choose her brother's birthday as her wedding day?
I've been tossing these ideas around but didn't really come to a conclusion. Perhaps there is no definite answer.
I think I might be a bit perturbed if my sibling chose my birth date for their wedding day, but hey, we're adults right? I can change my plans around, can't I?
My purpose for this post was to pose the question and hear your replies, I am not looking for a right or wrong, because I truly don't think there can be one.
So please, tell me your opinion, I am very interested.

I don't know about other families, but in mine wedding anniversaries are not celebrated (or even acknowledged) by anyone except the married couple. But I think I might be flattered if someone deliberately chose that day BECAUSE it was my birthday. And if they chose it because it's what works best for them, then I'd let them have that. Getting married is a big deal and (hopefully) only happens once in your life. One thing's for sure, there aren't a bunch of different dates to remember.....just one.
Yes, I can agree with Endako. It is only the one birthday that should be affected, and it happens to be a month in which weddings are usual, so I can understand that a person could have little choice in hiring halls etc. It's JP's luck of the draw to be born in the wedding month of the year. but then... does he celebrate family wedding anniversaries?
Thank you for your replies. So you give your birthday to your sister and then you don't have to be bothered - unless they get divorced and forever hate that day!
As Judy Tenuda would say: That could hhhhaaaaapen!!
