Changing the date of the wedding!

Fcerrino, 29 November, 2010 at 20:24 Posted on Planning 0 4

So me and the fella had the date all set, the 2nd june 2012, perfect... bank holiday weekend and loads of time to plan and save up, as we have just moved in together.

Well my friend, who is quite a devout christian (I am a half hearted with good intentions one) asked me the other day, why we dont pull it forwards? Basically people at church are a little shocked at us for moving in already. But thinking about it, I wouldnt mind moving the wedding forwards.

Im really looking forwards to it, got so many ideas and plans and seems a shame to wait 18 months when we could be mr n mrs this summer if we wanted... im just not sure if we have time to get it all organised.

What are your guys thoughts??

    Ooh, if you can get away with bringing it forward, then I say go for it!

    So long as its not going to cause you any problems, and you can afford it etc, I dont see why not!

    I sooo would get married next yr, but alas we have to wait until 2012 ☹️

    I think logistically it could be done, depending on your choice of venue and availability.

    You mentioned that 2012 gave you plenty of time to save, will 6 months be long enough not to put you in debt?

    We are getting married in church and will have lived together for 3 years by then, opinions differ in different churches I guess!

    Changing your date should be done because you want to! not because other people disapprove or social pressures - you would not be entering your marriage freely.....

    Saying that I am getting married next august and had to change my date from july to keep the day we wanted, but it was H2b and my choice.

    Also if you need that year to save so you don't start in debt i would say don't do it!

    Ooooh Sarahb you're getting married on my 30th birthday!!!

    As for changing the dates, as long as you can afford it, everyone can get the time off, availability of your venue and suppliers is ok then I'd go for it!! Have you got anything booked already?

    WSS!

    Don't change your date because other people think you should, do it because you want to. 'Living in sin' is such an old-fashioned and outdated concept, I think you need that time to get to know each other whilst living together

    I set my date 2 years in advance because we needed time to save (and diet!), and when I came in to some inheritance money earlier this year we had a long discussion about moving the date up. We decided to leave it, it was too much hassle and expense to move it even thouhg we didn't need the time to save any more. We still need time to diet though!
