    I feel like I would do the same! Do you plan at work?

    I often look at things online. It’s only the two of us getting married in Hawaii but I would say I most likely spend over 2 hours.

    Under. Maybe an hour a week as the wedding got closer. I pretty much knew what I want so I made decisions quickly.

    I would say under at this point. At the very beginning it was over and I'm sure close to the date it will be over, but I'm in a sweet spot where all major vendors have been planned and we are a little far out to do anything else after we send the save the dates this week

    I'd say it's about average! I could spend AGES but with such a long engagement it's been nice to spread it out over months instead of weeks!

    Over.

    I spend plenty of time looking up ideas, finding stylist, and vendors.

    Definitely way over! I have everything pretty much figured out. The rest of the time is just scrolling through my wedding wire trying to figure out what to do next and pricing out decorations and linens. I think I would say I spend probably 3 hours a day doing something that involves the wedding lol. And then of course going through my giant planner folder at night Smiley smile

    Definitely over! If I'm not busy with school, I am busy wedding planning. I typically do wedding planning thing in the morning as I walk around getting my steps in, and that alone can last 2 hours. Then I continue to plan a little bit through the day, which may add another hour.

    (I'm including listening to songs to add to our playlist for the wedding day. Smiley tongue)

    Spending a lot of time on line looking for different ideas but have no plans on hiring a professional due to costs.

    Right now, I think it's definitely over (12 months down, 8 to go) but I think by the end of it it'll probably average out to right around 2 hours... maybe?

    I spend WAY more than 2 hours per week planning. It's more like 20+ hours per week!

    About 2 hrs every 2-3 days sounds about right for me. We are getting close, 3 1/2 months away.

    It fluxuates - some weeks it has been over, some right on, some almost none. All depends on what needs to be done when and what we got done really early. One major bonus of having a really long engagement - we spread the planning way out where we could.
