    Over. 20 months! and it seems like forever!! scheduling conflicts we both are crazy busy during football season so that delayed wedding planning and i didnt want to stress about the day of being in the middle of a crazy season and taking off so we pushed it out a tad.

    Over. We wanted an October wedding and we got engaged in March. So it was either 6m or 18m. We went for 18 so it wouldn't be rushed and vendors would be more like to be available.

    I’m definitely over the average with a two year engagement just for planning and stability purposes.
