Choosing a wedding date can be deeply personal and symbolic.

This man was excited to marry his fiancée on a date that felt special to him.

The “Never Forget” symbolism holds a great meaning to him, so he wanted to have their wedding to 9/11.

However, his future sister-in-law was upset because the date fell just before her own anniversary.

Read the full story below and share your thoughts.

WIBTA for choosing a wedding date that’s the day before my future SIL’s anniversary?

I (41M) just got engaged to my fiancée, Bambi (41F).

The one thing I really want is to have our wedding on 9/11/27.

The “Never Forget” symbolism means a lot to me.

There’s also a personal connection.

This man explained why 9/11 holds a special meaning for him.

My cousin Tony is married to Bambi’s sister Mary, and they got married on November 5th.

I was Tony’s best man, and Mary actually set Bambi and I up.

I liked the idea of tying “Remember, remember the 5th of November” from V for Vendetta to “Never Forget” from 9/11.

It just feels meaningful and is funny to me.

However, his sister-in-law disapproved of this date.

The problem is my other future SIL, Amanda, is furious.

Because our chosen date is the day before her wedding anniversary.

So, AITA for picking 9/11 as our wedding date even though it’s right before Amanda’s anniversary?

Let’s see how others reacted to this story.

What is meaningful to one person can feel inconsiderate to another.
