    Long. It would be a total of 1 year and 5 months since we got engaged in December 2018 and we’ll be getting married in May 2020

    We’ve been engaged since October 2018, and we plan on getting married in September 2020. So it’ll be close to a year and 6 months by then..so short?

    I thought I was the only one who planned a wedding date far away from the engagement date. Our intentions isn’t to get married until 2022. It gives us PLENTY of time to get together the perfect wedding.

    Our engagement plan was originally to have a short engagement, but there was so much pressure in planning a wedding in less than a year’s time and life just kept happening and making things harder on us. We finally decided to push the wedding out and we will have been together for four and a half years by the time we get married, but it has been such a relief! Now we can really make this day as special as we want it to be and just can’t wait! ❤️❤️

    It depends on the day and how planning is going 😆. 17 months between "Finally! I mean YES!" To "I Do"

    Thought I was gonna need a year to plan the whole thing. Now I have no idea what to do for the next 11.5 months. Except work my butt off to pay for it.

    We'll be engaged almost 19th months. When we got engaged I knew I wanted a September wedding and also that I couldn't plan everything in just 7 months!

    We're one step away from getting engaged (he's already bought the ring but hasn't proposed yet) - so I'm giving myself 44 months from proposal to plan the wedding (vegas wedding, considering we live in Canada we'll have to spend a long time planning)
