  You can definitely do it!! I'm currently in grad school, was finishing my last year of undergrad when I got engaged, have a required internship, work ~20 hours a week, etc, etc. We gave ourselves 14 months to plan. Let other people help you and just work on the wedding when you have time. I just have to remember that other things are more important and need to come first.

  I'm the same way - I get a little nervous about planning things far in advance. I wouldn't say I fly by the seat of my pants, by any means, but I usually don't plan things as early as a wedding typically needs to be. The timeline that TheKnot has is a great tool for figuring out what needs to be done and when. I thought we were doing things too early (we've been engaged since November 2010 and will marry June 2012), but it turned out that only a month after we booked the church, everything was booked! We got our reception place immediately after, and got our limo reserved just a couple months ago. I've found that if you book early, venues will give you some leeway...you might also be able to get current prices if you sign a contract early...they could change if you wait longer. Just some things to look into. You can definitely do it, it's just a lot of time management Delegating tasks to trusted friends and family is a great idea too. I've also been noticing that my FI and I have very different schedules this summer, so I've asked him to do some things when he has time off, and I do the same. There are some things that he is in charge of (like tuxedos) so he can do that on his own and then ask my opinion. You got this!
