How Long Is Your Engagement?

Lisa, on December 15, 2022 at 11:25 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 153
How long will it be from the day you got engaged until the day you get married? My husband and I originally planned for a one year engagement, but thanks to COVID, it turned into a three year engagement!

    We got engaged in 2019 and based on our original wedding date, our engagement was supposed to be 2 years and 4 months. Instead it was 3 years and 4 months 😅

    We planned for a 2 year engagement. Thanks to covid, it became a 4 year engagement. And thanks to the officiant that didn't show up to at our destination wedding, it will now be a 5 year engagement! 🤦🏼‍♀️

    Awesome!! Did you feel like 11 months was a good length for an engagement? Or too long/short?

    Mine was similar, except we went from 1 year engagement to 3 years due to COVID! Was COVID the reason that you also postponed?

    Two years is a good length! Enough time to where you aren't rushed to get everything done, but soon enough to where you can start booking vendors. How is your wedding planning going?

    You have one heck of a story to tell for many years to come about your wedding!! Such a frustrating planning experience for you, but you seem to have handled all the craziness better than most people would have.

    Nice!! Your wedding is coming up quick! Do you feel like the 13 months is a good length for an engagement? Or do you think it was too long/short?

    Ugh, COVID definitely threw a wrench into wedding plans for a lot of people. It'll all be worth the added wait in the end!

    Mostly smooth with a few hiccups! Our process is a little different, though, because we’re doing a destination wedding at Disney World. So there are some things that are different from other venues, which gets stressful when the usual wedding advice doesn’t apply to us. But some things have been easier, so it balances out haha.

    At times it felt like it was WAY too long but I think it was just right!! As its coming up so fast now I feel the pressure, but I can't imagine how much more stressed I would feel if I hadn't had a decent amount of time to get everything settled.

    Mine will be a year and two days but it has nothing to do with us planning a wedding since we are eloping. It's because he is several states away and will be retiring before he moves here with me.

    Oh wow, very cool that you were able to plan your wedding in six months! Did you find that it was enough time? Or too long/short?
