hi there! congratulations!!! My sister just got married and i was there throughout ALL of the planning process. I just got engaged and we haven't yet set a date, but i know for a fact that my sister's one piece of advice would be to scout out your venue asap! September and october are popular months. are you paying for your own wedding?
you don't need to have a big expensive bash, you can plan something efficient and within your budget so you don't have to worry about anyone elses opinions. Or are you afraid that the family will give you crap about planning a wedding without having too much of your own funds?
Were hoping not to have to pay for everything ourselves but we aren't wanting to push everything off on our parents either. The only reason we need their help with the money is because we have a massive family and we are going to need a venue much larger than our tiny home church. I guess the other thing we really want is for our family to "jump into action" like they did for FI's sister, or at least seem excited.
If you're planning on next fall, book your venue ASAP! You may have to change your date if the venue you want is not available on 10/13/12. However, you're going to have to talk to you families so that you'll know what venues you can afford. I suggest that you don't expect a lot of funds because of his sister's wedding planning in progress and be pleasantly surprised and thankful for what your families do offer. You can have a beatiful wedding on a budget, especially if you're willing to do a lot of DIY projects. I suppose it sucks that his sis getting married cuts into your funding from parents, but where I come from, we pay for entire weddings ourselves and any money offered to us by our parents is a bonus.
His sisters wedding was last June they planned it from november to June, and yes it is very aggravating that we've been ignored for more than a year and they just flew into everything for her. Thankyou for your advice.

I guess I sound kinda of childish, but I need some advice. When FI and I got engaged we said it would be a long engagement and that we would wait untill he got out of school and on to his feet before we got married. This was more than a year ago, and he will graduate in May with a promised job. We've been talking and have decided to Set the date for 10-13-12. THe fall more specifically October has special meaning to us. I am exccited about the idea of an october wedding however with it now being almost december I think we need to get started. We are both wary of telling our parents that were ready to start planning and have set a date. His family is low on funds with his sister blowing in a second wedding in november for last june, and my family... I have a fear of disapointment with them and that makes it very hard for me to share things with them even good things. I don't mean to dump on you all but all advice is much appreciated.
