I'm Engaged

Congratulations and welcome to Wedding Wire!

First thing to do is B R E A T H E. You have plenty of time until your wedding next June, so give yourself some time to relax and enjoy being engaged!

Second, once you're ready to continue/start planning, have a set budget and estimated guest count in mind. This will help you when moving forward on a venue, and your other vendors. Make sure you speak with each vendor about their policy when it comes to covid, so that you're prepared just in case!

Third, repeat #1!

Congratulations!
Nooe, not anymore. Focused on what mattered which was marrying my love. We decided to give it up and have a tiny vow exchange with less than 10 guests. And just like that, the stress went poof! And disappeared

I’m also a June 2022 bride. I wouldn’t say I’m stressed but I feel like I’ve definitely lost some of the engagement magic and joy. I was so excited and pumped to plan the wedding the few months prior to actually getting engaged and right after. We had talked about getting engaged and starting designing the ring in Nov 2019 and got engaged in late Feb 2020.


I’m hoping that once we get back into heavy planning, I can start to find some joy to it again.

If I were you, I truly wouldn't stress about the pandemic at this point. I would focus on planning normally -- booking your major vendors (venue/food, photographer, DJ) soon -- and enjoying your engagement!

The one good thing is that you have the ability to ask COVID-related questions, and get clear information on cancellation policies. A lot of 2020 couples were blindsided by this, so you'll be able to be a little more prepared, though hopefully it won't matter by '22!

I think you'll be okay. I'm planning mine for April 2022 hoping things will be okay by then. I hesitate to an extent but I also know things can be very different by then. I'm willing to do a reception/vow renew later but try to keep the marriage date. Won't know until then.


I say try to nail down the venue first and hold off on other things. Get a guest lost going and not worry about sending things out until roughly this time next year. The world may be different by then and I'm hoping so.
