Hey there!
Congrats on your engagement & welcome to the hive! We've been engaged since just before Easter (wow! Four months already) and are planning a June 2010 wedding, so about 14 months. I think it's never to early to brainstorm ideas, discuss your "dream wedding" & figure out ways to tweak it in order to fit your budget. Plus you may get the benefit of 2009 or 2010 pricing for your 2011 wedding. And even better, you & your FI can indulge in all the pre-wedding parties (like an engagement party) without feeling "greedy" since there's going to be SOOO much time between your announcement & the actual event! I'm so jealous about that bit! Good Luck!
We will be engaged for just under two years...and it's the best decision we ever made. The wedding planning process has been very relaxed...a little bit here, a little bit there, very little stress. Oh, and it gives us more time to save money..that helps too! :)
We will be at 13 months when we get married, about 10 minutes after the proposal we started talking about the date and I figured there was no way I could get it planned in under a year. At that point we will have been together for 7 years, so what is another year at that point. I think it is a great idea to be able to save up for the wedding and just be able to relax about getting it planned!
Pensgrl20, I'm in the same boat as you. I got engaged just about a month ago and we're planning on Sept. 2011 for the wedding. I think it's going to be great that we have so long to relax and plan everything we want without feeling rushed. I've already gotten impatient about the dress search, however. That's the one thing I don't know if I can wait very long to do. =)
My FH is a naval officer so we basically have to work everything around his schedule. He proposed at the end of November 2008 and we are getting married October 2009 -- so I had about 11 months to plan. Take your time, there are so many DIY projects I wish I had known about or had the time to do!
I've just reached an engagement slump where I'm tired of planning/talking about my wedding with other people (there are only so many times I can tell people about my colors) and I just want to be married!!
You have a ton of time and you can make the most of it to make your wedding day the way you want.
mrsawesome09, That is the exact date that I am hoping to get! Did you pick it because the date would be 9/10/11? I think that is a unique date and am hoping that since we have a lot of time to plan, we have a good chance of that day being available at the venues we want..
I don't know if I will be able to wait on the dress either.. But I am worried that if I plan too early, I will change my mind by the time the actual wedding comes around..
We got engaged in Sept 07 and are getting married next month! It is a long time, but for us it was right as I was in school at the time and we were living in two different cities.
I have to say, it was nice to have the extra time to plan, DIY more projects, and take in the excitement of getting married. Like Submarine, while I am sometimes at a point where I'm a little tired of it all, I'm glad we're able to make the most of our time.
I got engaged in May of this year and we are getting married next October... so 17 months of engagement. This gives us plenty of time to plan and save money for the wedding, good luck!!!
We got engaged in March and we'll be marrying in September almost exactly six months to the day. We planned a whole traditional wedding for 2010, but decided to elope instead. Crazy, I know!
Our engagement will be about 9 mos by the time we tie the knot =) He proposed the last weekend of February, and our big day is 11/21 =) It was just the right amount of time, so far it seems, to make lots of plans but not go too nuts =D
I got engaged in Oct 08. I wanted an Oct. wedding, but because of grad school couldn't get married in Oct 09. So at first, we set the date for Oct. 2011, but then I too became WAY to nervous and anxious for the day and felt like two years was just too long. It felt like it would never be here (now, where has all that time gone?). So we moved the date up to March 2010. Now, our engagement will be around a year and a half instead of two years.
We got engaged December 16, 2007 and will get married March 20, 2010. At first I REALLY did NOT want to wait that long... but he had his mind set on 2010. I'm glad that we've waited - March 2010 is perfect timing!! (not to mention that our entire wedding budget is now already in the bank!!)
Pensgrl20, really? Awesome! We picked it for a few reasons actually, the 9/10/11 is easy to remember for people and just a cute date in general, plus the 10th is the anniversary of when he asked me out (we're high school sweethearts) so we thought that would be nice for us.
I have the same worry, but I'm hoping that the longer engagement will give me a chance to find a dress plus other things that I really love instead of settling for things that I just like because I'm in a hurry.
I've also heard that 9/10/11 will be a popular date, so hopefully I can find venues etc early enough to get the date we want. Good luck with your planning! I saw on another post that your colors are black, white and yellow. Mine are black, white and blue. Great minds think alike I guess! ;-)
Our engagement will be 15 months long - venues get booked so early in NYC that the length of our engagement was kinda determined by venue availability, lol.
our engagement is just under 9 months. he proposed around new year, and we're getting married in september. we've both been working for a while so we've got savings that we can use towardcs wedding expenses. we didn't want a summer wedding (it's way too humid and sticky in ny!) so it was either fall or spring. spring 2010 seemed too far away (more than a year's engagement) so september was it!
We will be engaged 16 months. He proposed in April and we knew we wanted the wedding when it was warm. July was out because of vacations and June got thrown out because we knew of 9 other weddings that month - so we decided on August!
We will be engaged for 11 months once we're married. After you book your venue, you can pretty much relax until like 9 months before the wedding and that will give you plenty of time for everything else.
Got engaged Jan 2, 2007, getting married Sept 25, 2010... lonnnggg engagement. Grad school has a way of interrupting things, huh?
We got engaged auguest of 08 and wont be getting married till june 2010 we wanted to wait til he graduated college. Also i started planning it never to early to start thiking and getting a little here and there that way it dosn't all add up at once and leave you broke.
Pensgrl, congratulations, and there is nothing long with a longer engagement! My FH and I got engaged about 4 months ago and we won't be getting married until July 2011. We will have so much time to plan and save money -- we are so excited! I know I will be anxious too, but I also think it'll make the day even a little extra special. :)
We'll be engaged 1 year and six days when we get married in September.
we will be engaged 8.5 months before we get married - I think it's the perfect amount of time to get everything ready :)
Congrats on your engagement! Ours was about 8 months. But we knew last Memiorial Day, before any official engagement, that we wanted to be married in a year or sooner.
Even two years can fly by! You can make it as long or short as you want; whatever works for both of you.
Congratulations :)
We had a 15 month engagement. It worked perfectly for us, but by the last month we were just so ready to be married. I think that would have been true if we were engaged 7 months or 2 years.
Enjoy every minute of it because it goes by fast!
Our engagement will be just under 15 months by the time we get married in June, which is good because I definitely wanted at least a year between the engagement and the wedding, although sometimes I just want the wedding to hurry up and be here, I'm so excited for it! 15 months is a looooong time to wait for something, although I guess I did wait a long time to get engaged too, so I'll survive :)
Ours will be a little over 7 months. And I was ready 2 months ago to be married!
Since we're in grad school we are having a 2.5 year engagement...almost 3 actually.
We got engaged on Nov 15, 2008 and we'll be getting married roughly 2 years afterwards on 11/26/10
22 months, and that's so we can save up money and so my guy can get his CA :)
When we get married, we will have been engaged for 15 months. Ah!!!
We will have been engaged for 15 months before we are married - I told my fiance ahead of time that I wanted more than a year to plan, and wanted a summer wedding :-) We also had to wait my fiance to graduate from college, so that helped determine how long our engagement would be.
5 months! I planned and did everything in 2 1/2 months, now just followup on everything

I was just wondering how long everyones' engagement is or is going to be?
We just got engaged about a month ago, and I suggested we wait until Aug-Sept of 2011 to get married. I figured it would give us time to save money, plan, and enjoy being engaged.. Now I am feeling anxious and want to start planning, but it seems too far away..
