Is anyone else’s wedding in 2020?

Is there anyone else who is having their wedding in 2020? We’ve decided to wait until May 2020 in order to save money for the wedding. Did anyone have a long engagement? How did you go about planning your wedding?

    Aww so exciting!! Sometimes it's nice to have a longer engagement so you can save up more for it! Have you started looking at venues yet?

    It'll definietly fly by but you still have plenty of time for it all! I would suggest starting with a rough estimate of a budget and guest list as well as looking into possible venues! We have a great checklist tool on here that I'll link below for you to look through!

    Congratulations! We set our date for October 10, 2020 to also save money for our wedding. We are perfectly fine having a long engagement. We just got engaged at the end of September so it was about 2 years until our wedding. All we have done so far is set the date and picked the venue since it was such a popular weekend. We also have talked to a photographer and DJ but have not booked anything yet.

    Congrats!!!! We are getting married 8-8-20 and that means our engagement is going to be 2 years long! No need to rush, and the planning is SO much fun. We are going to see some venues in a month, and I’m over the moon excited.

    Congratulations on your engagement! We have been together for 8 years and have to beautiful boys. My now fiancee ( which I'm getting use to calling him, LOL) proposed the day after Christmas. We agreed to have our wedding in July 2020. Also giving our out of town family and friends time to plan and book accommodations to attend our wedding. We have started to look at venues in the bay area, which are totally way expensive. So, we did look at central California and found this beautiful wedding Venue in Fresno, CA which isn't that far from the bay area and have booked a appointment in March to tour and if every goes well, we will place our deposit to hold our date.

    Congratulations!! We're doing the same thing. Targeting Spring 2020 but we haven't picked a date yet. Our goal is to pay cash for the whole thing. Sometimes people act like we're nuts, but it's really not that long in my mind. We got engaged in November so ~18 months or so. I'm still figuring out how to plan too. Smiley smile

    We're May 9, 2020 in Philadelphia. We decided to wait so I could finish graduate school without losing my mind (more than I will anyway) and sit for my national boards. We have out guest lists ironed out pretty well thanks to our siblings who got married before us! Expecting the final count to be between 125-150. So far we have...

    Ceremony: Old Saint Joseph's Church

    Reception: The Union League of Philadelphia

    Photographer: Ashley Gerrity Photography

    Florist: Elite Florals

    We found our photographer and florist through WW... the reception has been a dream for awhile and the ceremony fell into place (after our first one fell through).

    YES!! We are also getting married May 2020. We pushed it out from an earlier date, in order to save more money. So, our engagement will be about 2 years and 1 month once we walk down the aisle. But as long as I get to marry my best friend and love of my life, I don't mind the wait! I'm actually a lot less stressed out since we gave ourselves more time. I now have the time to do the research I want to do, and take my time planning things out. In terms of how to go about it, we started with a guest list, so we would have a good idea of the cost. Then looked at venues until we found one we really loved and could afford. We booked the venue, photographer and DJ fairly quickly, because I wanted to make sure we had the date we wanted locked in with those vendors. Other stuff can wait a bit longer. So, now we're just taking our time, enjoying each other and planning our big day!!

    My wedding is as of right now September 20 2020. In Ohio, but we don't know if we want that date now because his cousins got engaged and his one cousin is October 10th 2020. And we're worried about them being two busy for ours. And also us missing their wedding because of our honeymoon. What should we do ?? Please help

    We got engaged on 6/15/18. We already secured the venue. We chose the year 2020 to allow enough time to pay for everything.
