We have been engaged since June 2009 and started looking at wedding venues this summer. We may have found THE venue but are struggling with dates. I'm not very patient...surprising when I think how long we've been engaged haha! We were looking at October 2013 but the venue is booked for the dates we want. So now we are thinking of February 2014, with a break away straight after and then having the honeymoon over Easter. But for impatient me this means waiting over a year to get married! I'm sure it will fly though plus it means more time to save. How long have you had between booking a venue and your wedding date?
