Other brides in the family...

Hello Everyone

I am looking for some advice and opinions on an issue I have at the moment

Firstly, do you think its unreasonable if there are two brides-to-be in the family, that they should be considerate of each other when choosing wedding dates? I have been engaged for 18 months, and had to delay our wedding once already due to illness. I recovered some time ago, and began planning the wedding all over again, only to have my cousin announce her engagement, and wedding date all in the one phone call. As luck would have it, she set her date incredibly close to mine, and to date, she has still not called to enquire if there is a conflict of dates. I have subsequently cancelled my wedding again; our family couldn't cope with two big weddings within 3 weeks of each other.

So, my second question is, under these circumstances, should I say something to her about this?

Looking forward to hearing what everyone thinks about this,
Thanks in advance :)
