Is two years too long for an engagement?

No I don’t think so. We did exactly that because we wanted the dream wedding we have always wanted. We also did it this way since ours is going to be in a different state.

I don't think 2 years is long at all! My fiance and I have been engaged for almost a year and a half and the time has really helped us save and take our time in planning.

Not at all. My wedding was October 19th, and next month would have been two years since we got engaged. It gives a good amount of time to find vendors, your dress, all that stuff so you aren't feeling as rushed. You have time to plan

I got engaged in July of 2019. We booked our venue and set our date purposefully 2 years out for October 16th of 2021. I just started grad school and we are paying for almost all of it ourselves which is a lot while still trying to keep up with our bills. It also isn’t as stressful planning over the two years and causally gathering decorations and materials over that longer time instead of spending a ton of money trying to get it within a shorter time. It’s just easier for me. But I will say I cannot wait for the big day!!! That’ll be the hardest part!

Girl you are sooo young! Pushing the wedding out another year will help you save & really have the wedding of your dreams! 2 years will FLY BY!!!

Hi! We just got engaged, and we’re waiting until early Summer 2021. That way, my fiancée is done with grad school, we’ll have way more money saved, and our decisions will be thoughtful and just what we want! I had always thought I’d have a short engagement, but we’re 30 and 31, and we are finding it smarter and way less stressful for us to wait some time

My FH and I will be engaged for 2 years by our wedding date. We initially considered getting married a year earlier, but decided for financial reasons and stress-related we wanted to push it out another year... and we're so glad we did! It gave us more time to save, less stress/more time planning, and more options for available vendors since a lot of people aren't planning that far out! Also, 2 months after we got engaged and started planning, I got laid off of a job I had been at for 10 years, and if we had gone with the 1 year engagement we had originally wanted, I would have been freaking out... so, all-in-all, we've found it very beneficial to have a 2 year engagement.

We purposely planned our wedding 2 years out for affordable reasons. We wanted to have a nice wedding without loans or debt and realistically knew we needed time to make that happen. We've already been engaged 3 years so 2 more years to wait isnt such a big deal to us.

I actually got engaged this past June. We aren't getting married until 2022. Yes everyone is telling us it's a long time away but why? See for me this just means we get the date place and things we want because we have enough time to make choices and have the money we need. I don't think it should matter how long or short you wait to married as long as you are happy. Those who really support will be Happy for you and will stick around.

It just depends on your personal preference. My fiancé and I are in college so that’s why we chose to have a long engagement. Some venues are worth waiting for! It’s your wedding, just do what makes you happiest!

The same thing happened to my fiance and I! We wanted a 10-10-20 wedding but he waited until August 3rd to propose and there was nothing available for that date. We are also getting married in October of 2021 and I love it bc I don't feel rushed! I'm sending out our save the dates around the 1 year mark so mid to late Oct 2020. Plus I feel like having a 2 year engagement allows for things to be paid for in full with not taking out a loan of any kind! That's my favorite part!!

Two years is to long for me because I have anxiety and depression, and with that ima have to long to second guess if he really wants to be with me or not lol. But We together have 7 kids and We want a great wedding so we picked a date that we would be able to have everything we want even if there is emergencies with finances. If we had the money I would of been married it would only take me a short time to plan my wedding because I know exactly what I want and where to get it from.

We will be at 3 years by the time we get married. He proposed 2 years ago today and our wedding is October 10, 2020

Two years is definitely not too long! Originally, my fiance and I were going to wait two years. We're in our late twenties and the reason why we were waiting was so we could have our anniversary date as our wedding. Things changed when we found a venue we loved.

As for save the dates, we're sending ours out around 8 months before our wedding date.

Nope. Think about it, you get one year to save up even more while going to wedding expos casually comfortably browsing your selections and sometimes even winning prizes. My fiance and I won a decorator's devices $1,000 off sweepstakes just because we put in our name at a raffle at an expo. I think that first year lets you really organize and then the second year is when you send invitations, and get into the nitty gritty while saving up and staying in couples therapy. Weddings can be very taxing on the brain and make people disassociate from the reality so after the wedding they may face blues. Therapy helps you know what's going on in yourself and relationship. 2 years is a great time frame! We're getting married in 2022!

My engagement will be about 22 months. It has felt long but its given us a lot of time to plan

For me, two years is the perfect amount of time. We are both finishing up our college degrees and we want to get settled in our new careers before our wedding. I understand that to some it seems like we’re just putting it off, but that’s not the case. We have just decided to prioritize school over a wedding for the time being.

Mine is going to be in 2021. We moved in together and felt we needed some time to get acclimated. And we did not want to rush!!! Fall of 2021 is our time and it’s a destination wedding

We got engaged on 1/2019. But have been together for 5 years with two kids. Lol! We're not getting married till 12/2021 simply because we want to have our dream wedding and we need to save up. Especially since we're paying ourselves!

My fiancé and I got engaged in May 2018 and aren’t planning to get married until August 2022. We’re both in graduate school and long distance. So the length of the engagement differs from couple to couple. Make it the wedding you want. It’s your day!
