April 2013 Weddings

Anyone else get this?

So I've got a friend who's engaged also and getting married in October,and a Coworker who is also marrying in October.There panning their weddings of course and when talking plans when I comment with my own as well ,and there always saying things like Youve got like a whole year anyway,why are you worried?,and I could not wait that long to get married! I was engaged first,then my friend,then coworker.I think it's rude and not true! we're not planning too early are we?!and a year wait is not long!!Anyone else going through this??

Re: Anyone else get this?

  • Everyone keeps telling me to calm down & I have tons of time but really I feel like I'm running out of time too! There's so much to do and the time just keeps counting down! I don't think we're planning too early. Seriously a year is not that much time when you want good venues & such. People also need to be more considerate of you. Just because you're wedding is a little farther out than theirs does not mean that you don't have the same stress/headaches as everyone else.

  • I'm getting that too!! But I have noticed that some vendors have already been booked for my date..so I think we are doing the right thing :) Having a year (or more) just means more choices on vendors!

  • No one has really said that to me, thankfully. I would get frustrated if someone did say that to me. The good (& affordable) vendors snap up quickly, I see nothing wrong with being prepared and getting what you want for the best available rate.

  • Yes!!!!!! But people don't understand, maybe a year would be long if all we were doing 24/7 was plan, but I don't. I just finished school, work full time and raise 2 kids..... So no.... It's not to early.... We just will not be nearly as stressed as your coworkers lol

  • My FI actually didn't want to wait as long as we are - we got engaged Thanksgiving weekend 2011 - but I felt like I really need this time to plan.  I work as a substitute teacher in three districts + I'll (hopefully) be working at a camp for kids with disabilities this summer AND I also work guest services at Heinz Field (Steelers' stadium) now...plus FI drives two hours each way four days a week for work.  We need to save up money and I needed time to plan!

    And yes, vendors ARE booked already in my area for next April!  The officiant I wanted to use is gone.  :(
