If you getting married this year in the fall you need to start doing the little things that should be and can be done now. Such as plan who you want in your wedding as ask them. Go dress shopping with in two or three months so you can find that perfect dress as well as pick out the dresses the bridemaids are going to wear. Tuxes should be picked out and a place where you can rent them or buy whatever you want, as well as shoes, ties. You should find shoes for you dress as well, but you can wait later if you want incase a good deal comes up. In the next month or two should look at invitations and how you want them to look as well as make a list of people you want to invite. Send out the invites a few months before so they will have time to get them and send you back a letter if they will be coming or not. Book the place where you want your reception and get a minister and church. There really is a lot of things for you to do, and some things will have to wait till later on, but you should go to yahoo and type in "a list of things to plan your wedding" and it will come up with things that you should be doing now and for later, so you wont forget anything.

It really does depend on the couple. Depending on religious beliefs or backgrounds, some couples (or their families) will not live together before marriage. I mean, you could be living together now! Once you get engaged, you are going to be spending most of your waking moments planning the wedding. I was engaged in October of 2002 and we had our wedding October 2004, and I needed every single one of those 24 months to plan! My husband and I had been dating for over five years when we got engaged, had already lived together briefly when we first started dating, and moved in together about six months before the wedding. It may be quite confusing to plan a wedding and find a place to live at the same time. If you are both comfortable with it, there is no reason why you can't move in together once you are engaged - especially if there is family that might be upset at you living together unmarried. At least if you're engaged, you're almost married, and you can explain how much easier it makes everything if you don't have to worry about finding a place to live right after the wedding. The timeline after proposal varies depending on where you live and what kind of wedding you want. Like, where I lived in New York, during certain times of the year you had to book your reception AT LEAST 18 months in advance, if not more. I was lucky in getting my choice of date 17 months before my actual wedding - I knew people who couldn't get their first three choices of date two full years before the wedding.

Well, there is really not a right or wrong way. But yes, those (and a lot more) are the things that need to be decided before you get married.

Congrats!! Really you have to do what works best for you. However if you are planning on getting married this fall, you need to start reserving things, church, reception place, park, photographer, flowers, food, whatever it is that you want, you need to set a date and start booking things for that date. So if you are also planning on moving you are gonna have to start multi-tasking. Best Wishes!

the engagement period has been sorta a multi-task time for us, really stressful, but its comin together and us handlein it has made us even closer...you definetly need to be working out where you will live and how you will make it happen, but you also gotta get that wedding together! please don't be like we got their for a little while and have you just doin the house and her just doin the wedding, you begin to resent each other for not helpin each other so we came to terms and I help paint now and he gets me addresses and calls his groomsmen and stuff! Start bookin wedding stuff now tho, if you are gettin married this fall, the sooner the better!

Plan however it feels right for you! I moved in with my fiancee way before he proposed last Feb 26...then we jumped right into planning the wedding.

The "right" way is the way that works best for the two of you.

if you feel comfortable with the choices you are making, then yes it is the right way. There really is no right or wrong to do it, the question is if it feels right to you and your mate, then go forward.
