How long of an engagement are you having?

View quoted message

Plenty of time to plan! Honestly we would have done the exact same thing, but my sister was coming from Australia, and I didn't want it to put pressure on her to come over here really quick

This is exactly why we decided on a little bit longer of an engagement. I really wanted a couple vendors, and if I would have waited, they would have been booked!

it is nice that you factored in people from out of country!

There is nothing wrong with doing what works for you guys! It's one less thing to stress about when you give yourself a ton of time to plan and save!

I got engaged the end of October 2019. We aren’t getting married until September 23rd 2022, so we can finish university and save money. Some people thought we were crazy for getting engaged when still in school, but now we have more time to plan and enjoy our engagement!

Engaged July 21, 2019- getting married June 20, 2020. We didn’t want to waste a single second, but knew we both wanted a more traditional wedding- so we allowed some time for that. But for us, we’re in our mid 30s - no kids- living together- what were we waiting for , other than nicer weather? Lol... to each his own 😀

I got engaged Sept.2018... our wedding is Aug 2020. The biggest fact is with it being a summer wedding I wanted to give myself enough time to make sure I’d be able to book every vendor I wanted to. Starting with our venue, photographer etc. Plus we have family coming from out of country so it gives everyone time to get everything in order

View quoted message For sure! Or at least I hope so

So exciting.

For sure! A smaller wedding is easier to do in a shorter amount of time. That is still a good chunk of time to get everything done!

I loved the planning, I feel like sometimes I have nothing to do. But thankfully our life is starting to get a little crazy lol. So I have been a little more preoccupied.

Stress free is #1. It is so nice to have a bigger gap so you aren't super rushed

Well we've been engaged forever. Since February 2013. We just sort of stayed at that point for a long time because of finances. We started really planning and booking about two years out (still at 400 days). There really is no hurry for us to get married planning has been fun. No idea what I'll do once it's over.

We are looking at 2022 so at least 2 years. We want lots of time to enjoy being engaged, plan everything, save up, and be as stress free as possible.

We got engaged Nov 2nd & are getting married July 2nd. Once we decided to have a small wedding we didn't see the point in waiting

Engaged 3 years. We had kids in between so wanted to adjust to that a bit first. Now we’re in planning mode and the wedding is this August!

It is really great to give yourself that time! We had a ton of home reno's we wanted to do before getting married, and we actually got a good chunk of it done while also wedding planning lol!

It does make such a big difference to have that time to save. You don't realize how much you are spending, and how much you need to organize!

Love it! Honestly my Husband wanted to do it quick, and small, but I wanted something bigger.

Always better to do it with more time than feel pressured.

Lol same! I feel like this is the year of pregnancy announcements lol

Our engagement was pretty much 2 years bang on. We wanted time to plan since we were doing it long distance (got married in London, both live in Thunder Bay).

2019 was also a more ideal year than 2018 so that helped with our decision lol.

Side note: I have also noticed more engagement announcements on my Facebook as well as pregnancy ones - not helping my baby fever lol

We got engaged April 2018 and we're getting married in 4 days! In total it's been one year and nine months. We thought that getting married late 2018/early 2019 was too much of a rush but I was so eager and focused that we probably could have pulled it off for then.

Our engagement is 17 months ish... were having our wedding on my family farm so we needed time to complete task to fix things up. also the fact that I haven't felt a lot of pressure to get things done quickly

We fall into the eloping/microwedding right away category. 5 weeks. It was a fun whirlwind.

We'll be 2 days shy of a 2-year engagement. We really wanted a fall wedding but I didn't think I could've planned everything in a year so we went with two and I'm really glad we did. I think I could've easily done it in a year and a half but it's given us extra time to save, which has made a huge difference.

We got engaged in December 2018 and we get married July 2020. We're just under a year and seven months.

We chose this length of an engagement because I wanted to get married in the summer and the summer of 2019 was too rushed. I actually don't mind how long we've been engaged for because its given us the opportunity to save for our house - which hopefully we'll find in the next months.

We were engaged for 3 3/4 years unofficially. Time passed by to get married and finally got the word 18 months towards starting the planning of the wedding.

We got engaged in September 2019 and are getting married in October 2020, so not quite 13 months.


Part of me wishes we had a shorter engagement as a lot of things came together quickly and I'm ready for forever, but I'm also really glad that we get all this time to plan together and to enjoy being engaged.

Got engaged dec 2018 and wedding is aug 2020 so a year and 8 months so 20 months total, i wanted a bit longer so i can vendor shop around and take time to plan each thing. also more time to save and pay off vendors!

25 months! Got engaged May 2, 2018 and wedding is June 6, 2020!
