    Over! 18 months. I always said I wanted a year and a half engagement to allow for enough planning time and to spread out the costs.

    OVER! He proposed October 2018. After all the back and forth with planning and figuring out where to go, we decided to go to Hawaii so we ended up pushing our date back to 2021.

    6 months for us. We got engaged begining of February and initially picked a date 4 months later but because of availability at our venue we went with a date 6 months out. I think we had our venue booked 2 weeks after he proposed. We’re both laid back with planning but I better understand the urgency of booking vendors because we have little time to plan. FH thinks I’m crazy to plan right away. He thinks a month of planning is plenty lol.
