You and your bestie may have spent hours on end dreaming up your weddings, and when you\u2019re at that age where everyone is getting hitched, being engaged at the same time as your bridesmaid is actually more likely than you may think!<\/p>

On the bright side, having a close friend that actually wants to talk all the nitty-gritty details of wedding planning (think florals, vendor contracts etc) can definitely come in handy when you need to vent to someone who gets it.<\/p>

Keep in mind that getting married at the same time as one of your friends will mean an extra layer of communication when scheduling things like your date, bridal showers and bachelorette parties. If you share a lot of the same social circle, you want to make sure that no one is put in the awkward position of choosing between your weddings (think Bride Wars). Just be sure to keep the lines open before anything gets set in stone!<\/p>

It\u2019s easy to get caught up in your own wedding and forget that the outside world exists – especially if your big day comes first \u2013 so be sure to be there for your friend as much as she is for you!<\/p>

Here are some things to keep in mind if your maid is saying \u2018I do\u2019 too.<\/h2>
