    We're going to be planning for about 16 months, but we'll be formally engaged for 8-10 months before the wedding.

    We got engaged in April and are getting married in November. We'll have a 7 month engagement, but we will be apart from each other for 3 months this summer.

    Long. I was hoping for a "short" engagement of 1 year after the proposal, but he surprised me much earlier with a proposal than i was expecting! Sometimes in life jobs and other things get in the way too, so we have been delayed a few times in even picking a date..

    Since we are planning a destination wedding in Italy, and were set on a September wedding, almost two years! We got engaged at the end of May 2018 and will marry in Sept of 2020. Wait, is that more than two years? lol!

    Short- 8 months. We initially were going to wait 1 year and 8 months because we wanted a fall wedding. Finally decided to just do it this fall instead of next because we are having a small intimate wedding and we didn’t feel like waiting that long since we already live like we are married anyway. 🙂
