Hello! My fiancé and I are getting married March 2025. For the first several months of the planning process, we will be long distance. He is currently abroad in Bishkek and there is an 11 hour time difference, so we are awake at just about opposite times. He seems content with being a little more hands off on the wedding planning process, which definitely makes things a little easier, but of course there are still major and minor decisions that need to be made early and need his input. I am happy with taking the initiative on a lot of the planning, but I really want to avoid excluding him from the process and making our wedding into my wedding.
I'm also pretty heavily questioning my own judgement on a lot of things that are inherently left up to me; I have to be the one to physically visit the venues we're considering, for instance, and I have no clue what I'm looking for! There's also the issue of very limited photos for things like invitations or the wedding website- we have one good shot of our engagement rings together that we thankfully remembered to take before he left. There was no time for a real engagement photoshoot.
I'm wondering if anyone else has done the first stages of wedding
planning while long distance and if anyone has any advice or
suggestions. Any words of support are welcome too!
