The Original Poster (OP) is experiencing intense anger and conflict because a significant, personally meaningful wedding date is being threatened by a recent family tragedy involving their fiancée's sister.
While the OP acknowledges the deep grief of the sister and respects the good intentions of the mother's suggestion to postpone, their own emotional investment in the planned anniversary date clashes directly with the perceived need to support the grieving family by altering their plans.
Given the fiancée's known sentimental value for the specific date versus the genuine pain of his widowed sister, should the couple proceed with the original wedding date to honor their commitment and personal milestone, or should they postpone out of empathy for the immediate trauma and the desire to have all close family present?
