With the information you've given, it sounds like you're overthinking it. It's been a few years, and there could be any number of reasons for why they chose that date.

it's not bitchy that you think it's weird. in your place, i'd eyeroll the hell out of that shit. like "omg, you don't think of that day as permanently tainted by your extreme grief? however will you celebrate new beginnings with that cloud hanging over you?"
i wouldn't say anything, i'd just think snide thoughts in my head.

alzi--I wouldn't be too surprised if she did do something to honor our grandma. And not in a subtle way but a "LOOK AT ME" way. I will feel quite smug if/when she does. <--see, that makes me feel bitchy. oh well
cville--I am def. thinking all kinds of snide thoughts in my head. I'm sooooo curious to see what her wedding looks like. I do know she got a loooonnnnng veil b/c, and I quote she "LOVED the drama of it!".
I think she's a bitch, but you are over thinking it.
haha. I like this response.
She drives me up the wall. She's so fucking prissy I want to scream. I mean, I baby wipe my feet at night after camping (ok I do it various times throughout the day). But she makes me look like someone who enjoys rolling around in dirt!
It's the cracker eating bitch syndrome. After a while every little thing bugs the shit out of you.
Like my FSIL.
Yes! I mean I remember making fun (in my head) of her stupid ugly awful bathing suit. Really, I was jealous of how she looked at it. But in my head I thought "EWWW. who does she think she is wearing that shade of YELLOW!".
And when we were in college I got so sick of this conversation:
family friend: where are you going to school wildswans? wildswans: School in Seattle, WA. ff: ohhhh.....you know it rains there???!!!
ff: wildswans cousin where are YOU going to school? ws cousin: xxx!!!! squeee!!!! And I'm in a SORORITY!! EEE!! ff: Yay! That's amazing. YOU ARE THE BEST.
Ok, so it didn't go quite like that. But they did often comment on the weather of the state where my school is located. And they clapped and applauded her school.
