I got engaged about a week and a half ago on my sister's birthday trip to Vegas. My FH proposed to me in front of the Bellagio fountains on one knee. It was so beautiful. I was so overwhelmed but excited and had no idea that I was such a crybaby. Now the fun begins! We have not quite set a date. We are debating if we should plan for next year or plan for more time for 2013. Two years just seems too long. What do you ladies think?
Its a toughie, depends on how much you love planning and weddings all together. If you LOVE weddings and enjoy DIY ing (Do it Yourself) projects than two years is a great timeline. It gives you ample opportunity to really DIY your own projects and make your wedding fabulous with the bonus of being budget savvy bride. Plus you can really enjoy the process and all the excitement.
If you're anything like me, lol, you just can't wait !!!!! It is definitely possible to have everything you want in gin a year too if you really get down to things! First things first is to book a reception hall quick if you do it a year from now - they book before you've even thought about the subject ;)
Either decision, good luck with the planning and excitement ... let the fun begin!
Congratulations and welcome to WBC, Jessaug777!
Good luck! Can't wait to see what you decide and to watch your wedding plans unfold :)
Your engagement time just really depends on your funds and what kind of wedding you want to have. Plus the dates available for your venue. My total engagement will be 17 months. At first it seemed like it was so far away and now I have 136 days to go. There's a lot that has to get done if you plan on planning the wedding yourself and time is the best thing you have :-)
HAPPY PLANNING!!!!
honestly, we will be engaged for almost 2 years (21 months) and it's honestly gone by so fast.... we now have 6 and a half months to go and i cannot believe it!!!!
if you can do it in a shorter time, like aimee114 said, it is totaly possible. but if you need to save (because it does get expensive) then wait those 2 years. it goes by fast, trust me. good luck xox setting the date is so exciting =)
