How long between getting engaged and your wedding date?

Ah congratulations ..., the 29th March is my sons birthday

We got engaged on 14th May 2012 (OHs 30th bday), set the date July 2013 for wedding April 2104. So two years between engagement & wedding but 9 months planning.

My OH proposed on my birthday 03/02/13 and we are getting married 20/09/14. I can't wait!!

Thank you. Awwww, only a few days away :-). Excited? Xx

Oh proposed 25/12/10 getting married 01/08/15 so about 4.5 yrs.

It's not really hit me that it's me getting married yet! I've been planning a wedding...doesn't feel like it mine! Probably won't until I'm stood outside the church in my big white dress ready to walk down the aisle!!

Congratulations!!

We got engaged on April 10th 2013 and are getting married June 2015.

So just over 2 years for us

It will be about 3 years for us. I hate that people always question why it is so long, grr!

6 months. We got engaged right at the end of October 2013. We're getting married on 10th May 2014.

Part of the reason for having a fairly short engagement was that we'd been talking about it for a looooong time so we already had lots of ideas. Also, my sister is terminally ill and I want her to be my bridesmaid, so we needed to do it quickly! And thirdly, my fiancé is in the army and financially there are many advantages to being married so it just made sense to get on with it.

Got engaged May 2013 and getting married July 2015. We wanted enough time to save up for it

2 years and 10 months for us. Like others have said it's really annoying how people assume you're marrying quite quickly or look at you weirdly when you say you've booked your venue with 2 1/2 years to go.

About 18 months for us

20 months for us. Before my H2B proposed we had talked about the idea of getting married on my 40th birthday, so that's the only thing that dictated it really. If it hadn't been for that I think I'd have wanted to do it faster!

Congratulations on your engagement. I got engaged 27 December 2013 but not getting married until 10 September 2016 (which is my late nan's birthday as sadly she lost her battle with cancer last year and it is so she can be with me) so 29 months until the special day have booked church and venue already though

1 year x

20 months for us. I think we would have done it sooner but we needed to save for the day.

In hindsight I wish I'd scaled down the wedding and done it sooner as I just want to be married already!

We got engaged 25/12/13 and we're getting married 24/5/2015. I had an idea what time of year I wanted the wedding to be (springtime) and 2014 wouldn't have given us enough time to plan and save up. The date was picked because it's a bank holiday weekend before school holidays which we needed as I work in a school.

My SIL to be got engaged on her birthday last month and has booked the wedding for this December because they didn't want to hang around too long, they're only having a small wedding (30ish people) so don't need to save too much and they didn't want to go for early next year as they thought it was too close to our wedding (which we weren't bothered about, we're just happy to have another family celebration)

2 years (almost exactly to the day) for us. I would have liked to have done it quicker but the venue that I fell in love with was totally booked up for this summer, and knowing that I wanted a summer saturday we decided to wait another year and have the day we wanted rather than compromising on season

Three and a half months for me. We got engaged on New Year's Day and getting married in 10 days time! Didn't really want a long engagement, and it's been plenty long enough for us to get everything arranged.

2 years 2 months.

Completely ignored the whole idea of arranging a wedding for ages after we got engaged.

And then a whole year later we were prodded into action when we realised newly-engaged people were setting dates and booking venues. It made us pull our fingers out and get round to starting the ball rolling.

We had 2 and a half years between our engagement date and our wedding date. We're now just under two years away! We were limited by school holidays as I am a teacher, so pipped for April as it fall within the Easter holidays (we hope anyway!).

5 years between engagement and wedding together for 8 years by the time we are married

He proposed in May 2012 and we are getting married April 2014 so 23 months. I was a bit relaxed about the process to be honest. My friend got engaged the same week as me and she went in to full organising mode...i just enjoyed being engaged for a while and telling people I was in no rush.

18 months for us. We did originally consider getting married last September which would have been 9 months but we didn't find a nice venue in time with the dates we needed spare, plus I was enjoying the planning too much to give it up too soon!

21 years.. Yep, you read it right, 21 years!

It was me who asked him to marry me on a drunken night out in 1995. we'd been together for nearly 4 years at this point. We had an engagement party and everything, but no wedding ever got planned!

We've now decided to get married on the 3rd of September 2016 as we'll have been together for 25 years (and 2 days) on that date.

3 years and 1 day!

We gave ourselves about the same; we got engaged on June 17th 2013 and are getting married on June 7th 2014 ;-)

19 months and 6 days

20 months, with 16 to go

I'm enjoying getting to know everyone a little more.

Wow 21 years! It's great that you're getting married on such a memorable date for you both.

Xx

Ooh congrats! We got engaged 14th February 2014 and getting married in 2016 just so we have over a year to find ourselves a place to live :]

He originally proposed Feb 2007 (I said no, but we'd only met 2 weeks prior to that!)

Second proposal was December 2010 (I had a long wait between the first and second date)

Original Wedding set for September 2012 (we had to cancel as we had emigrated and had visa restrictions preventing us changing our marital status)

Revised Date set for 30 August 2014. Wedding planning in full swing!!!

THEN we learned that we can't meet the residency requirements to legally marry in the UK, but all of our venue and flight bookings had been made. So now we're having a pre-wedding blessing on the set date (in my heart this is my wedding day, in my home town with family and friends) but.....

We still don't have a date to make it legal!

We got engaged 22nd December 2013 and are getting married 1st November 2014 so a little over 10 months.
