Person or Story Wanted: Victims of copycat brides.
More info: Looking for comments/anecdotes from brides who have had their wedding ideas copied by another bride, or who copied someone else’s wedding – anonymity is fine! The sorts of anonymous examples I’m after are anecdotes from brides who had to deal with things like another friend announcing she’s marrying the same week as you, or in the same venue with the same band and decor, or buying the same dress, or having the exact same readings, first dance and ring, or copying your invites etc – so not just friendly borrowing of a nice idea but getting a bit OTT with the copycat behaviour! Especially if they had similar guest lists or, even worse, the copycat ends up having her wedding first and then the bride feared looking like she copied her!
