It's time for your first confession!! Whether it was looking at wedding dresses online, saving your favorite wedding trends on pinterest, or slowly starting some initial venue research... did you start any wedding planning before the official proposal?? Are you innocent or guilty of planning before...

Are you innocent or guilty of planning before the proposal?

    Totally innocent. Yes, I always daydreamed of the big day if it was in the cards but nope no real planning. My mother insisted we make a 'mock' wedding list but she and I had discussed that for years. To be fair, I told my fiance before we ever got engaged that I would always be by his side marriage or not.

    I made a Pinterest of wedding things, but I think I had that before I even got with my FH.

    Innocent. Kinda wish I had started though, because I was completely lost in what I wanted when I started planning lol.

    I definitely did! But oh well ... who says you gotta wait for the ring before you start wedding planning lol. I'm actually glad I did what I did because I'll be ahead of the curve😊

    I never even considered getting married, I never thought I'd like someone enough to be with them forever. Before I met my FH I was never much of a relationship person.


    The whole idea of a wedding was my fiancé's and I'm actually excited about it!

    I had a Pinterest board before I began dating FH but I started planning as soon as FH began to seriously talk about a future together. I joked and asked him if I had the green light to begin wedding planning and he said yes. This was last December and now we have just under 6 months to plan our wedding day for September 2020. I already have my dress and the venue booked so the rest should be pretty easy. We aren't getting lost in the details and focusing on what's more important for us.

    Sort of guilty! I've had a wedding ideas Pinterest board for a long time. I've always known that I wanted to have a boho/romantic style wedding in the fall, so when he proposed I already knew the direction of planning that I wanted to go in. My FH trusts my eye for aesthetics since I'm a professional designer, so he has let me run with my vision lol.

    Um, yes, yes I did. I didn’t make any set in stone plans until after I had a ring, but I knew the proposal was coming and had already decided who I’d ask to be bridesmaids. Oh wait, no I had already bought some of what I’d use in my gift to ask them to be bridesmaids before I had the ring on my finger. But my FH told me when he ordered the ring.

    I'm not sure how to answer this one. I did not start planning until he asked me but FH says he doesn't remember (No he didn't have the ring when he asked). When I found out he didn't remember I was upset, of course because he didn't remember but also because I had already started planning (imagine how he was looking at me asking him all these wedding questions). After talking about how he didn't remember he did confess his love and how he did want to get married.

    Very guilty. I had my whole wedding planned on Pinterest (with the same venue we picked) since 2016... we didn’t start dating till 2017 and got engaged in 2019 😅
