Did your engagement go quickly or slowly?

Anonymous, on October 28, 2013 at 4:42 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 17

I have about 10 months till my wedding and I feel like it will take FOREVER to get here. I have a lot done already. I have my Venue, DJ, Cake, Dress, and Photographer. I hate not having stuff planned ahead of time. Did your engagement go quickly for you or does it did it feel like it took forever like me?

    It's gone very quickly so far for me, 10 months so far, 8 more to go. However, our summer was crazy busy and we did almost no wedding planning for a few months so maybe that's why...I need all the time I have so I'm in no rush for the day to come, yet.

    14 months down, 10 to go. Some of it went by fast, but I think I'm in good shape. Dress, Church, Hall, catering/drinks, photographer all ordered/booked. Save the dates (and regular invitations for the international guests) will go out at the end of the year. DJ and cake are at the same time. Marriage counseling sessions begin in February.

    So far it has flown by. About 7 months left. Got engaged mid November last year and it feels like it was last month. Lol. I hope it slows down a bit so we can take a bit of time for us but I doubt that will happen

    Some months have def been slower than others. We got engaged May 4th and initially planned to get married August 2014. Then we moved it up to May 2014 so that made it seem like it went super fast. Once most of the vendors were booked, it slowed down. I am sure it will go by super fast after the holidays though!

    For me it's a good pace. We got engaged September 2012, the wedding is late 2014. 14 months down, 12 to go.

    I used to think the same thing, but I was way wrong! FH and I were engaged last Thanksgiving and our wedding is on Dec. 14th (only 46 days away! Smiley laugh) At first, the anticipation made it seem as if our special day would never arrive. My family and friends warned me that the year would flash right before my eyes and I'm happy to say they were right. I feel as if the weeks are just flying by! I can't wait for our big day! <3 With 46 days left until our wedding day, I'm indulging in the little things and enjoying every moment I have as a bride.

    Its going pretty fast for me. Ive got my ceremony & reception venues, dj, photorapher, food, dress. Ive been doing lots of DIY stuff which i think helps pass the time but it feels like i still have so much left to do and that 7 months isnt enough time.

    I feel like ours flew once we hit the 6 month mark. Up until then, it didn't really seem real, ha!

    Got engaged 3/31/13... wedding is 5/17/14. November 17th is our 6 month mark.

    Our engagement will be about 13 months long... so I'm more than half way there... woo, that's spooky.

    The first 6 months since the engagement went by very fast, but now that we have a lot of the planning done it seems like it will be forever til we get married (sept 6 2014). If you're busy preparing, it will go by quickly, but after that....sloooowwww
