    If you count scrolling on WW forums looking for ideas and comparing my wedding to other people's weddings as planning, then definitely over!!! Smiley smile I love seeing other bride's perspectives and ideas in my wedding planning process. Plus, since I'm 7 days away (eeeep!), weddings are literally all I can think about. So I'm on WW forums, pinterest boards, etc at least 5 hours a day! Oops!

    Under, but I'm also trying to do intense planning for 2 weeks and then taking 2 weeks off. Burst planning for the win!

    Under 15 hours. When I first started at the beginning of the year, it was probably over, but now It's about an hour a week, if that.

    Under, way under. Our wedding coordinator is doing the bulk of it (we just have to make decisions) but since we have a longer engagement, we have been able to spread out the things that we do have to take care of.

    Right now it's under, mostly just pinning stuff on Pinterest, or looking on this site at venues. Once the new years and the funds are available it'll probably be about that

    Probably under. As we get closer to the date, then definitely over. Right now I just spend any free time that I can on here, just looking through forums and seeing what the ladies have to say. I already visited two venues, but we have a bit to go.

    It started at over, but now I'm under it with about 5 hours a week.
