Is it too long to be waiting?

My FH and I got engaged this year. We won't be getting married until 2024 because we both need time to get some things in order. He wants to finish college, and I want to at least have my license and a car. Of course, I do hope that we'll be able to live together sooner. I'd like to live with him for at least a year before we get married.

Is never too soon or too late. We decided to get marry in 2022 also because I think is enough time to get everything done and together with out rushing or stressing

God blessings to you all! There needs to be a reason to wait for a certain date for a wedding which is the first day that your life will be changed. My future spouse wants me and to finish college so I am not away so much (I take four classes). He also needs to overcome these traumatic issues that he faced as a kid and he has started to seek help. I am there to support him every step of the way. Pray for him.

Depends on the two of you. When DH proposed he was like we can get married in 3 or 4 or 5 years. I was like NOPE next year! He was kidding but I definitely couldn't wait that long. It's also the 2nd marriage for both of us and we didn't want a huge wedding that would take years to save for. We actually ended up eloping 2 months and 2 days after we got engaged and had the big Vegas ceremony 8 months later.

We wanted to make sure we have the funds necessary, also I'm 20 and he's 23 so waiting 3 years isn't killing anyone.

Personal preference for sure. We just got engaged about a month ago and are eloping in 10 days... future ceremony and reception to follow a year later.

We were together for 3.5 years when he proposed and got married 6 months later. It’s definitely a personal choice. We didn’t want to wait a long time before our wedding but others do!

I also chose 2022, I think there is no rush to get married. We already plan on spending our lives together so what is tge rush. It gives us more time to save for our perfect wedding and honeymoon!

I am not getting married until 2023 because I wanted to finish school before I walked down the aisle. We also wanted to save some money before we get married

I got engaged February 2017 and we're getting married December 2019. So that's pretty close to 3 years. I say it's no problem at all!

I think every situation is different. We got engaged in July and are waiting until the summer of 2021, but that is because of medical reasons for us. And many places we looked at was pretty much booked for next year and some dates already into 2021!

My partner and I are waiting till 2025 for our wedding day. Saving up money and getting ourselves settled is our main priority. We already feel permanent the actual wedding is just a formality.

Whatever's best for you both. I can't wait that long, people are telling me that there's nothing wrong with a long engagement. They're correct only I'm ready to be MARRIED lol, we've been together 8 years, we both want kids and I'm already nearly 31 so I'd like to start a family soon.

So we did a small courthouse wedding when I found out I was pregnant the first time (miscarriage was suffered not long after sadly) but we agreed before hand at our 5 year anniversary we would have our big wedding with family and friends. We just celebrated two years and it dawned on me we have 3 years to go and I don’t know anything about what I plan for the wedding. Follow the timeline they give you here. Start planning it and thinking of what all you want. But don’t feel rushed and crazy

We got engaged in October 2018, and aren’t getting married until July 2022.
Theres no such thing as too long or too short, you do what works for you.
We know how we want our day to be and to have it exactly how we want it, we want to save comfortably without stressing, worrying and having to budget ridiculously on other things we enjoy. I don’t want to be miserable for X amount of time to be able to enjoy the day.
I have friends who are getting married quickly and having to come up with the cash in a short space of time is adding massive amounts of extra stress, as though there isn’t enough when wedding planning!

Congratulations!! That’s totally fine. I’m waiting two years to get married.

I got engaged in may and we are waiting until 2022 so I can finish my degree and we can both save up some money!

We are waiting three years as well! It is the timeline that makes sense for us financially, and it feels right to us. As long as you are both on board, why not?

I’m in the same boat! I think a long engagement is acceptable for many reasons. Plus extra time to plan and save money for the dream wedding, is great.

I got engaged in May and we have also decided to get married in 2022! I’m a little nervous about waiting that long but I know it is what’s best for us! We are both in college still and he just moved 4 hours away! Every relationship is different but I know what is best for mine and I’m sure y’all know what’s best for yours!!
