    10 months. I wouldn't say short or long since ours is probably right in the middle. i have heard the average length of engagement is about a year.

    We are doing a long engagement to help spread out the financial cost. our venue was cheaper to book by doing 2 years out. we only had to put 25% down instead of 50%.

    Long, our wedding date is 1/2/21. We love the date (it's a palindrome!). We are also paying for the wedding ourselves and want to give ourselves time to save without going broke. We both have very busy stressful jobs and didn't want to feel crunched for time planning wise.

    So very long! My fiancée and I decided we would get married during our first year of college, but we also decided to wait until we graduated and got financially stable before we actually got married. We have a date set now for 2021 and I couldn’t be happier. We both graduated college and have our jobs.
