It's time for your first confession!! Whether it was looking at wedding dresses online, saving your favorite wedding trends on pinterest, or slowly starting some initial venue research... did you start any wedding planning before the official proposal?? Are you innocent or guilty of planning before...

    Not at all!! I didn't even have a single thought besides an outdoor
    ceremony. Been to so many weddings I knew what I didn't want to have
    happen but I never thought I'd get married at all.

    I didn't really start fully planning until I was engaged, but I definitely started a pinterest board.

    Technically yes but it wasn't intentional. My friend got married a few months before I got engaged and while helping her plan her wedding I found a few things that I liked so I saved them for future reference.

    I mean in my mind I had an idea of what I wanted. A few dress pins, decorations, & dress colors for my girls, but not too excessive.. Lol

    Guilty 😂 I had multiple Pinterest boards and even dragged my fiancé to a venue tour a month before the proposal. In my defense we’d been dating for 5 years and had been talking about a wedding for about 3 so I was just trying to get him to get a move on. We didn’t actually BOOK anything or set a date until we were engaged though.

    I planned the whole thing before my proposal. Oddly enough after I did this is when he told me he wanted to marry me.

    I kind of looked at engagement rings, but that was about it. I was raised by a single mother, so I was never the girl that dreamed of a wedding or anything like that. I never imagined someone even proposing to me! When my fiance got down on one knee, I cried because I was so shocked that this could actually be my situation - that I could have a fiance/husband and get married and have 500 dogs with someone.

    Planning the wedding has been fun because neither of us even thought about it before the engagement, so there haven't been arguments over "But I've always dreamed of...." It's been fast, fun, and we've saved where we can!

    Innocent!
    I did not do any wedding planning until there was a ring on my finger. I made that mistake in the past which turned out to be a huge waste of my time.
