Time between getting engaged and planning wedding / getting married

I’m just being nosey after reading the census on everyone’s weddings (mainly how big some people’s budgets are!) So I was wondering, how soon after you got engaged did you start planning and booking your wedding? We got engaged just over 2 years ago. We didn’t have any plans to get married as we had...

I’m just being nosey after reading the census on everyone’s weddings (mainly how big some people’s budgets are!) So I was wondering, how soon after you got engaged did you start planning and booking your wedding?

We got engaged just over 2 years ago. We didn’t have any plans to get married as we had no money. So we were engaged for a while then my mum asked “when are you going to get married?!” So we sat down, talked, worked out how much we could save as we still at this point had no savings then booked it.

We’ve paid for things on a monthly basis, saving where we can, which is why our budget is quite low. I’d love to have unlimited funds but no chance! My mum is very kindly paying for a lot so I think without her, we’d be nowhere nearer to getting married.

Anyone else the same as me?

    My stats are on my sig. Although we got engaged in February we weren't in a position to start seriously planning until we secured a house as we were living apart at the time. Got a house in July, we were bidding for social housing so had no idea when a house would come up (we live in a small rural town) and whether we would win the bidding so seemed daft setting a date when we had no idea when we'd be living together.

    Got engaged late Oct 2010, married on 10th Sept 2011. We started planning things almost immediately and didn't want a particularly long engagement.
