Woman Thinks It's ‘Weird' Her Best Friend Is Getting Married on Her Birthday — and Didn't Tell Her First
A woman shared on Reddit that she found out her best friend plans to get married on her birthday — and she's questioning the choice
"Every time it's brought up, I just kinda nod along and do my best to be supportive, but I think it's really weird," she wrote of her friend's wedding plans
Reacting to the post, one reader argued, "Lots of things happen on our birthdays, and because we are adults we deal with it"A woman is puzzled by her best friend's wedding plans.
In a post on Reddit, the 26-year-old woman shared that her best friend is set to marry her longtime partner. "This is something we both have been talking about for years now, and it's something she's always wanted. I'm so excited and I'm going to be part of the wedding as well," the OP (original poster) noted.
However, the OP recently received her invitation and was surprised to discover that her best friend has planned a destination wedding in Las Vegas that will take place on her birthday.
"I know she knows it's my birthday, but she hasn't mentioned it at all — like no acknowledging that it's the same day. Every time it's brought up, I just kinda nod along and do my best to be supportive, but I think it's really weird," the OP wrote.
Now, she is not sure how to handle the situation.
"I feel like I need to say something, obviously, but I also know they already booked the chapel for that day and a couple others going to the wedding have already started buying hotel rooms and flights. I have no idea how I should even bring this up," she concluded her post, asking for advice.
In the comments section, many readers shared the opinion that this should be a non-issue for the OP.
"Your friend is getting married, and you're taking their choice of date far more personally than you should be," one person wrote. "A lot of different factors usually go into choosing wedding dates, from price to venue availability to when you know you can get your family and friends in one place. For destination weddings, hotel availability and flight prices come into play too."
They continued, "If you can't attend or don't want to attend because of your birthday, you can absolutely voice that, but there doesn't seem to be an a------ issue here."
Someone else chimed in: "Lots of things happen on our birthdays, and because we are adults we deal with it. Don't say anything. Don't pout like a little kid. Your birthday is only a priority for you."
The general consensus was that the OP should refrain from saying anything to the bride-to-be about her choice of wedding date.

"Don't make her planning her wedding even more stressful than it already is. I'm sure when the date was picked, other factors played a more important role than the birthday of a friend falling on the same day," one commenter said, offering some simple advice: "Enjoy your friend's wedding!"

Another reader suggested that the OP find another time to celebrate her birthday with her friend, and yet another encouraged her to see the chosen wedding date as a positive.
"I would thank her — she's giving you two reasons to celebrate on your birthday!" they pointed out.

Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne Want an On-Screen 'Neighbors' Reunion with Zac Efron' 'on Their Show 'Platonic'
Rogen and Byrne also opened up about their undeniable on-screen chemistry at the 'Platonic' season 2 premiereNEED TO KNOW Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are all about reuniting with Zac Efron on their Apple TV+ show, Platonic The trio worked together on the 2014 comedy Neighbors Rogen and Byrne also opened about why they keep working together 'over and over' againSeth Rogen and Rose Byrne want an on-screen reunion with Zac Efron! Rogen and Byrne, who starred alongside Efron in the 2014 comedy Neighbors, shared their thoughts on the possibility of working with him again on their Apple TV+ show Platonic. 'I don't understand why that hasn't come to fruition yet. Now, I have it in my head that's what we need to do,' Byrne, 46, told The Hollywood Reporter while attending the Platonic season 2 premiere at Hammer Museum in Los Angeles on July 30. 'We need to get Ike [Barinholtz, who also costarred in the film] and Zac in Platonic. That'd be great,' Rogen, 43, added. Francesca Delbanco, who co-created Platonic alongside Neighbors director Nicholas Stoller, also chimed in, adding, 'It would be amazing stunt casting if we get [another] season and if he would do it. It would be so funny.' Efron, 37, flexed his comedic chops in the movie, in which he played the head of a fraternity that was determined to force their neighbors, Mac and Kelly Radner (Rogen and Byrne respectively), out of the neighborhood. The film, which was made on an $18 million budget, grossed over $270 million worldwide, per Box Office Mojo. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! Rogen and Byrne eventually went on to costar alongside each other in the first season of Platonic, in which they play co-dependent best friends Will and Sylvia. The pair were initially only slated to do a single season of the show in 2023 — which was intended to be an anthology series with a different cast each season — but they quickly realized they wanted to sign on for more. 'As we were shooting the first season, I was kind of pushing for [creators Nicholas Stoller and Francesca Delbanco] to brainstorm how it could continue and how to not replace us with other people, and thank god they listened,' Rogen told THR at the season 2 premiere. 'In film, chemistry is a mysterious thing,' Rogen later added when asked about his on-screen dynamic with Byrne. 'You never know who you're going to have good chemistry with. There's people who are great friends in real life that have terrible chemistry on screen. I've had great chemistry with people I don't particularly like that much, and so I'm very lucky in this situation where I have chemistry with someone who I actually like. So I think that's why we keep working together over and over again,' he continued. For her part, Byrne said that Rogen makes working together 'easy.'

'Seth is funny on a molecular level, so you just sort of go in the magnetism of that, and we seem to have a really easy time together,' she told the outlet. Platonic season 2 begins streaming on Apple TV+ on Aug. 6. Read the original article on People
