    Way over, especially if you count all the time I spent chatting on wedding forums with my online friends about our weddings we were planning. Smiley xd

    Way under. We’ve really made decisions super quick and easy. That part at least has been fairly stress free for us 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

    Probably a little under once it averages out. Some weeks I may do 6-8 hours and others none.

    I’m really not tracking how much time we spend, but I’d say we’re probably at or above the average.

    Woah! WAY over! pinterest can be a TOTAL black hole! both in a good way and a bad. I would say I average about 4 hours a day just researching before I make a decision about anything.

    Agreed Danielle! I definitely spend over 2 hours per DAY planning. Most of it I have thankfully been able to do at work!

    Definitely over in the beginning, but now that I have a lot of stuff done it is probably under now. Depending on the week.

    Easily over that. I’m always online, always looking for ideas. Especially now that we’re really planning our wedding cake out, and practicing our dance.

    Over 2 hours a week. But I plan on getting everything done early so I don’t have to stress about it. Only get excited!

    On average under. We had a long engagement so planning would happen in spurts. Then there would be long periods of time not doing wedding stuff.
