Any answers ?

I think taking 1-2 years to plan a wedding is kind of the sweet spot and a great amount of time. But it also depends on your budget, if you're paying for everything yourself then you need to figure out how much you can put toward the wedding every month and go from there.
I say it's a sweet spot because some vendors wont really take you seriously if its too far away from the date while others tend to book years in advance quickly.

What's old enough? Choosing to marry is based on maturity, wisdom and balance none of which has to do with age.

I agree with the pp. It's a wedding and it's one day. The question would be are you two ready enough to handle married life not wedding planning. Wedding planning is stressful but marriage is the real journey.

That’s a great idea to wait, especially if you’re feeling like it’s not the right time for you yet.

My wedding is January of 2022 and we started planning November of this year which gives us just over 2 years to plan. If you’re asking if it’s okay to start planning that early it definitely is. We already have a venue and photographer booked and are close to booking a dj company. If you’re unsure you want to get married at that time I would wait another year before planning as a lot of deposits are non refundable. You can always start researching ideas get an idea of what you want and which vendors you may want to learn more info from.

I think if you have to ask the question "am I old enough to get married" you have your answer and taking a couple years to plan is definitely the best option!

When we got engaged I was 20 and had no doubts that we were ready for marriage! We still took a couple years to plan just because we were young and trying to get our feet under us (we had just bought a house) and planned to pay for the wedding ourselves.

I'm honestly so glad we had a 2 year engagement!

I don't think its a matter of being old enough. 21 is old enough to make decisions about your life. I think the question is are you ready?

Theres nothing at all wrong with a long engagement! i think its a great idea that you want to wait and take your time to plan everything and then be of drinking age when you get married. There is also no right or wrong time to have your wedding - whatever you decide on works for you. the longer you give yourself to plan the less stressful it will be on you

I don't know about your life but this is my personal experience. I got engaged at 21 (I'm 22 now, getting married in 2 years), fiance and I have lived together for 3 years, we have a dog, support each other emotionally and financially, have good jobs, families know us, and most importantly we know each other really well but continue to learn more all the time and we love each other dearly. Reasons we're not married yet: we decided to go back to college, we're saving up for a wedding/honeymoon, house, and property. We want to marry right now and it's hard to push the date back so far but we basically made a promise to finish school first.
Hope all goes well for you.
