I don't think their should be a time limit on how long you should be together before getting married. The most important thing is that you are healthy mentally and physically. So many people look for love in all the wrong places when the truth of the matter is that you cannot love anyone until you love yourself. Also make sure your partner has themselves together also. Money can buy things not love or people. I always felt that the best time of the year to get married was a change in the season like when fall becomes winter, or the New Year because for me it symbolizes a new beginning.

Many, many options:
For lowest cost; you could reserve a club hall (Elks, Lions, American Legion, etc.) or their park pavilion if you want it outdoors. They usually have the best pricing for indoor catered events, but someone in your or your fiancee's family needs to be a member. You must also be a member to reserve the park, but then you would need to have family or friends do the cooking on site. Outdoor charcoal chicken is the perfect menu, and you could make it pot-luck for side dishes.
Banquet halls will give you the best rates in the off season (Jan-Feb).
My wife and I were engaged for three years, even bought a house before being married. There is no time-line, but planning is key if on a budget. We were fortunate, as our photography was by a very close friend, an Aunt owned a florist, and a family member belonged to the Lodge in which we had the reception. Out of pocket expense for wedding and honeymoon, after gifts, was $500.00. If I had to do it all over again, I would have been much more careful on choosing the DJ, ours was pathetic.

Get married when you are ready to get married and when you and partner want to get married. There are no set rules for this; for me, we've been together almost 9 years and get married next March, my parents on the other hand were engaged after 9 weeks!
In terms of the best time of year, all the prices go up on 1st April, so Spring or Autumn is cheaper. Its also cheaper if you don't do it on the weekend.
But however and wherever you do it, it will be a day to remember so try not to stress it too much.

My husband and I were together 5 yrs before we married but I think that is too long. 1+1/2 - 2 yrs is good. A nice wedding without alot of money is a challenge. I and my daughter got married at our house with a nice gazebo and yard, my other daughter opted for my brother's yard. We all had very nice weddings. We rented canopies, dinner settings, etc. We strung greenery and lights on the canopy's. Son-in-law made a tiled platform for dancing. Every one went out of their way to comment on how nice the weddings were not being in those traditional places where everyone else goes. Make your wedding unique and your own. Put your heart into it and it will show. You can make most things very inexpensively like the bouquets, momentoes, table decorations. Have fun with it! It's YOUR day.

It really doesn't how long because only you and your partner know when you are ready (6 month to a year). It all depends on the kind of wedding. If you are going to the Justice of Peace at the Court House then that will cost you less than $100.00. If you want an outside wedding (May, June and September ) are beautiful months. If you want a nice wedding with a lot of family and friends. You should at least plan for a year or two. www.theknot.com - can help you stay on track and is very informational. GOOD LUCK!!

My husband and I got engaged after being together for nine months and got married a year to the day later! That was 10 years ago. It really doesn't matter how long you've been together, when it's right it's right. As for the best time of year - there isn't one. It would be best to pick a date that is special to both of you and the wedding should be something that is part of your own personalities not just bound by tradition! Good Luck. xx

Enjoy being engaged for a while you can always save up money for your wedding. There shouldnt be a rush to get married. Most people get married in the summer/fall. Also remember if book a reception/wedding site on a weekend its going to cost more verses if you book it during a weekday. Why not have a wedding in your or a family members back yard or a national park??? You could also have a buffet instead of a sit down dinner which can get very pricey. Do some things yourself such as invitations, programms things like that. Go to http://www.weddingchannel.com and go to the Creative Ways to Save Forum where other soon to be brides talk about things they are doing to save money for their wedding.

For me I think waiting until you have been together for at least 3 years, then I think you should know each other pretty well by then. I reckon later spring is a beautiful time to get married, everything is beautiful and green and flowery and it should a good temperature too.
If you haven't got a lot of money I think you should spend money on things that you and your guests will remember... like the food. Don't worry about things like expensive table decorations. Buy disposable cameras and just hire a professional photographer for a short while.

I can only go on personal experience.
I got married 4 years after meeting my Hubby. We had been living together for 18 months.
We got married in May.
The wedding did not cost too much compared to some.
We got married in church, and had a reception in the village hall. Dad went over the France to get the drink. My Nan brought the cake. My brother did the DISCO. A friend did my hair and make-up, and her Dad drove the wedding car.
It was a very memorable day for everyone there, and they still take about it 6 years later.
