    Just do one thing at a time, which is move. And after your settled start planning the wedding. Good luck you got this.

    Agree with Traci. Get moved first, that should be your main focus. You have plenty of time to wedding plan. Don’t over work yourself. You’re doing just enough.

    First take a deep breath you have plenty of time!! I got engaged a year out from our wedding moved in over a weekend and went straight to work I regret not having that extra time to enjoy the moving in process with my Fiancé. Although moving sucks you're moving in with the love of your life give your self a month or so to get settled and then start planning. There are a lot of timelines out there you can follow that'll help keep you on track. Like Imani said don't over work yourself!! Rome wasn't built in a day.

    Planning a wedding is overwhelming, and it's totally normal to feel the way you do. I'd echo everyone else and recommend focusing on moving first. That'll help you feel a lot more grounded and like the world isn't moving from under you. Once you're settled, just take things one at a time. My mantra whenever I start thinking about how I need to do a million things is "be here now." If I'm looking for photographers, I focus on that rather than stressing about still needing to book a florist, hair & makeup, etc. It's a lot easier to worry about one decision rather than a whole bunch at a time.

    Breathe! You have a lot of great things happening but it can be overwhelming. Remember to breathe! Prioritize things. Focus on your move, settle in and spend some time just enjoying your new living arrangements. Then move on to planning the wedding. Prioritize that too, not everything needs to be planned and sorted at the same time. Enjoy the process. You have enough time to get everything done.

    I had a long engagement as well. I felt like the Knot's planning checklist helped me not feel overwhelmed and gave me some direction with pacing.

    I totally get it. I myself have taken on way WAY too many things in addition to planning a wedding. Learn from my mistakes lol and focus on one thing at a time. Move first and then you can come back to wedding planning
