Is two years too long for an engagement?

I got engaged December 10, 2017 and my wedding is November 16, 2019 so I am just weeks short of a two year engagement and it has been amazing! Having two years to plan has been really helpful and we started booking our vendors early so we were able to get our top picks on everything.

I don’t think two years is too long for an engagement. We were engaged for just shy of two years before we started planning. Our wedding is now just under a year away. I suggest sending out save the dates 8-10 months in advance, depending on travel arrangements for your guests.

By the time of our wedding, FH & I will have been engaged for 2 years! I don’t think it’s weird at all to wait a little. Everyone is different. As other people said, it gives you so much more time to save + plan too!

It's not too long. Ive been engaged for 5 years lol. We started dating since 2016 and we are getting married in 2021!!!!!! As long as you love eachother thats all that matter xoxoxxoo


For the save the dates. I sent them out in in oct 2019. Idk wanted to be early i guess haha. CONGRATS!!!!

2 years is good. You want to take your time and enjoy being engaged. It’s going to go by fast.
If you’re getting married October 2021 you’ll want to send out the Save the Dates in March/April of 2021.
Have fun wedding planning

Nope!! We got engaged September 1st, 2019 and wont be married until September 25, 2021. We wanted a fall wedding and everything was already booked for 2020 so we had to look at 2021. Vendors told us it’s becoming more normal for 2 year engagements just because everything gets booked up so quickly now!

We got engaged 11/23/18, this is a second marriage for us and we both had things we wanted to do differently, we are buying for it ourselves so we want to pay alot if not all of it off before the wedding. We also has a high schooler graduate and a retirement party in 20 so we didnt want to over load family, so we are planning Oct 2021

We got engaged on 8/25 and the wedding isn’t until dec 2021. I honestly highly recommend a 2 year engagement because it helps with budgeting. I don’t know how people come up with 25-30K for a wedding within a year. I feel that it relieves a lot of stress when it comes to rushing everything and you have time to look for good deals. I’m practically 70% done with my wedding planning and I’m relieved that I only have to worry about the little things without breaking the bank.

I don’t think it’s too long if the couple is actively planning the wedding and saving to make their day special. I think it’s different when you get engaged and don’t talk about the wedding at all (at that point as a bride I would be worried) as long as there’s some initiative and a purpose for a long engagement i don’t think there’s anything wrong with it

It's all preference. From personal experience, I would die if I had to wait any longer. lol We got engaged at the end of this last May and are actually getting married on 10/10/20. The only reason we chose to wait so long is to save money for the wedding. Truth be told, I've already planned and booked everything and if money weren't an issue, I'd get married tomorrow. The waiting game is the WORST. That being said, I am a planner. My actual job is to help people plan SO I'm extremely organized and on the ball. For people that don't like planning, 2 years is probably great. Personally, I'd keep looking at venues. I'd bet SOMEONE has the date or one in October open. Ours was gone at a ton but also open at a ton. Look for venues that aren't open yet.

We will have been engaged 2 years this coming Christmas, and when we get married we will have almost been engaged for 3 years. It is just different for everyone, don't worry!

I choice to wait for two years. It will give me the time to have the wedding i really want. I desire a church wedding with my reception at the Hyatt over looking the Harbor at night. Age should never be a factor in getting married, as long as you have someone who truly loves you and you truly love.

Our entire engagement was 19 months long. It was long, but we were able to accomplish other things (work-related, buying a house, etc.) without being stressed with wedding planning. Our save the dates went out 10 months in advance.

We planned ours out for December 2021 because of budget and planning. We are paying for everything with out help from anybody else. More people pitching in financially means more people have a say in what we want. We don't want to be stressed when planning either feeling like we have to rush everything we're doing. We want to make sure we have things exactly the way we want them.

My date is May 7, 2022. I didn’t want to wait but when he told me the logic behind it it just made sense. Much more time to save and more time to decide what I like and want. Our wedding is only 80 guests however the embellishments we want might cost us. We are able to have the wedding we dream of.

I had a 3 year engagement in my case I wanted a longer engagement to really be sure we knew each other well enough if it were for him we would have gotten married shortly after the engagement, he proposed after 1 year of us being together and I had no clue he was planning that. He is a hopeless romantic and said he knew shortly after meeting me that I was going to be his wife he says 😂 I was like are you sure haha. I’m glad I decided to have a longer engagement we learned so much about each other. We did things backwards I guess because we bought a house together 2 years ago, and it feels right to marry him in 2 weeks time flies trust me you want to have plenty of time to plan your perfect day it’s only 1 extra year compared to being together for the rest of your lives.

When our wedding day comes we will have been together 6 years, engaged 5 years. We planned for 2019, but the date was a Thursday so we pushed it off another year.

Not at all i got engaged last year and we did a two year engagement nothing wrong with It we did it because we are paying for everything our self's that's why we did it but also i wanted a long engagement so i can enjoy being engaged it went by so fast so don't worry about it being to long enjoy it and plus it gives you more time to plan everything congratulations and happy planning

No, it is not too long. We were engaged in July 2015 and did not wed until fall 2017. We postponed our first wedding (slated for fall 2016) as I am divorced and was not gonna make another mistake!!!

I got engaged 6/7/18 and my wedding date is 10/10/20! That's almost 2-1/2 years! I think it's fine. I just ordered by save the dates today and I'm going to send them out after the holidays (sometime in Jan/early Feb) because I already know of 2 other people getting married the same day as us, so I'm trying to alert people early.
