Wedding Woes

Engaged in April, No Decisions Made Yet

We got engaged on April 11, 2013. We have been together for over 6 years already, 7 in November. Needless to say, I am more than ready to be married to this man. We have a 2 year old son together and its been a long time coming. I want a really nice wedding because we do not get dressed up or do fancy things ever. I have never seen him in a tux/suit and just want this day to be unforgettable. I was recently involved in a friends wedding in July so that consumed a lot of my time after our engagement and kind of left me in a wedding slump because everything went horrible with her wedding (in my eyes as a bridesmaid & not feeling appreciated). I did not feel like planning anything for a month after that! I have a HUGE family and extended family and they all want to know when the date is & where its gonna be etc. 

I'm the type of person that loves to plan things and plan and be done with everything and get it out of the way. We haven't made any decisions on venue, date, anything! I found a gorgeous venue that I absolutely love and keep trying to wrap my brain around how to afford it and make our budget work etc. Its only a little over what we wanted to spend and could make it work by next year but don't want to spend the next year stressing. I keep going back and forth but should I wait 2 years to get married and get married June 2015? I keep throwing all of these factors into doing in 2 years but just don't know if I'm over-thinking it?

    Have you talked about the date with your FI? I error on sooner rather than later, but  you have to do what's right for you and your budget. Two years seems like dog years to me right about now.:)

  • If you think you can't afford a wedding sooner, trust me when I tell you that it will stress you out more pushing it up and trying to pay for it then planning it long term and having to wait.  You can still plan everything and get it out of the way and not think about it even if you are putting it off a while.  Waiting stinks, but it's better that then go into debt and start your marriage stressed about money.

     

    If you can find a cheaper venue that you still love then make sure your fiancé is on board with an earlier date.
