I've never been one to string things out. A 6-8 month engagement has always been the plan even though I never had really visioned when/where/what my wedding would be.
So be honest, is it realistic to plan a destination wedding (but still state side) in 6 months? I'm talking about your average wedding - more than just a back yard/low key wedding. Everything from dates, venues, vendors to "I do."
It's August 2017 now and I'm thinking about February 2018, otherwise I'll have to wait until fall 2018 (which isnt ideal).
