Hey All!
My Fiance is a Medical Student and we have a very short window to when we can actually get Married, between his graduation and before we have to move for his residency. We have a set date in mind, June 11, 2022, so just under 2 years away, which fits that window and also has meaning for us. I think it is never to early to start touring venues, I have been creating lists with Pros and Cons for months. He thinks that talking about wedding planning before we are less than a year out is crazy (he grew up in a very religious culture where you get married at 18 or 19 and plan a wedding in 6 months, and he hasn't done any research about the typical or average wedding planning).
With COVID 19 canceling so many weddings, I am personally nervous that folks who had to cancel their 2020 wedding will start pushing into 2021, thus folks who want to get married in 2021 will have to get married in 2022, thus more competition. The area that we are getting married at is somewhat restrictive, not a ton of venues but a decent amount.
So back to the Main Questions. 1. If we are planning to get Married in June 2022, but have a very specific date in mind, when should we start touring venues and when should we book it? 2. If you are like me, who is an event planning lover and has been "planning" this wedding since we first started about getting engaged and knows a bit more about weddings and what she wants, how do I get resources/convince my fiance that soon is better?
