ok, my boyfriend(now fiance), just proposed and we set the date of wedding. It is in 1 yr and 8 months, do you think that this is to long, or not enough time. Now mind you i have been with him for 3 and a half years already. Thanks

No. It completely depends on your circumstances. I think that that's a good time. I think that anything over 2 years is getting a bit much. My finace said to me that he proposed to me to marry me, not to just wait and wait. We're getting married 10 months after engagement.
I think what you're doing is fine :)
Congratulations on your engagement and good luck with all the planning. It's so much fun.
If you're from America, don't get a wedding planner, do it yourself. It's so rewarding. (I don't know why there are wedding planners in US but none in Aust).

Well mine, we decided our date about 2 years and 2 months before. Our Reasoning is he is in school , or started school after ward. Then he had a year of school,a dn will get out 10 months before the weddingand will hopefully get the better paying job he wants.
That way we can save more, we can buy a house, and were pretty stress free for our wedding. We want something big, but without a lot of stress.
This also gives me time to PERFECT the wedding. And were also only 21 so well get a better start if we wait a few years, well be taken more seriously, until then we will be just as we are now, and as we will be then, just like the married couple we willb e one day.
June 27, 2009 is when we picked, also consider planning for a special date, ours we cose 27, because we wanted to get married on what day our anniversary is (may 27) and we chose June because it is a Saturday in the summer that falls on the 27. That day we will be together an amazing 3 years and one month.

Well it all depends on what suits the two of you. Like are you studying and want to wait until you are finished (of course not that you have to!) ? Can you afford to pay for a wedding any time soon? Having a long engagement gives you lots of time to save up. Are there any other things that might prevent you from getting married any sooner? If you say yes to any of these things than the engagement time you are thinking of now is probably best for you. If you say no to these things, then maybe you want to think about having it a little sooner. But don't forget it is your wedding so you have to consider what is best for the both of you. Good luck!

You set the engagement so you have enough time to plan the wedding. Can you plan a wedding in a year and 8 months?

Sounds like a perfect length.
This way you can save up money for the wedding and get a good start on planning a location for the ceremony and reception. Some sites need at least a years notice to be reserved! Plus if you reserve it now, you get a price locked in before it goes up each year!

That's a pretty good time, it gives you a few months to save up for the wedding of your dreams and believe me once you start planning the time passes very quickly!! We had a 6 month engagement period and it flew by. Congratulations on your engagement!

What difference it makes you are with him for 3 years or 20 years. As long you both have good understanding and are capable of leading, sharing , helping, one another then you are making life sweeter. Marriage is a social arrangement. You fulfil the vows in the church and complete the sacrament of God. End of the day, the reality is commitment to one another, love and understanding that still requires ewmphasis on .

Nope not too soon at all. It takes a lot of time and money to plan that perfect day. I know people who are engaged and they aren't getting married until 2010. So not to early at all.

That's plenty of time. You have been together for a while and that's enough time to plan a really nice wedding big or small.
