Postponing

What do you mean by finances? Saving up for the wedding or personal financial success?

View Quoted Comment Ugh, a bit of both. 🥴

I haven’t personally but a close friend of mine has! It took a long time for them to get engaged at all, and then they had a two year engagement. Other things, like buying a house, came first and took priority. The important thing is that you two have good communication and are on the same page with things as much as possible.

View Quoted Comment As long as you are on the same page that you do eventually want to get married, it's OK! A long engagement is perfectly OK if you have other priorities. My fiancé and I will be engaged for 2.5 years by the time of our wedding; we're committed, but not rushing.

As long as y'all stay in the same page about it, it won't be an issue.

According to Dave Ramsey, the financial guru, this is NOT a good reason to put off marrying someone.

We only postponed twice and both times do to capacity mandates even with our small wedding of 40. It makes you feel defeated and angry but here we are 11 days out. Finish line in sight. Thank god because we’re both ready to be done and move on

How about having a very intimate wedding. That way you won't be spending too much money on the party but you'll still be married (yay). And life finances . . that'll happen whether you're married or not.
