in Not Engaged Yet

My wedding is not for another 3 years, simply because we have a budget, and we want our wedding fall on a specific Date/Day. So now im just brainstorming and i have my 'wedding planner' book handy (LOL).  Im looking for Venues, Photographers/Videographer, Officiants, Caterers, Cakes, Dresses, Tuxs,Transportation, etc. Our budget is $8000.  So if Anybody from DC, MD, VA had/having a wedding (on a budget) and got som great deals, please post the company including their website. Thank You =)

    Yeah, while there are some of us here from the DC Metro area, you'll have much better luck on the DC or NOVA boards.

    A lot can change in three years, so I suggest a few things:
    1) waiting until you're engaged to plan your wedding
    2) waiting until 12-15 months out to look at and book your venue
    3) not going to a 'Not Engaged Yet' board to ask about wedding venues
    4) (And admittedly, this is snarky) learning what words to capitalize. The word 'I' = yes. The word 'Tuxs' (sic) = no.

    Wait...homegirl isn't engaged? If that's the case, I retract my previous advice and suggest she slow shit way down.

    To the rest: Have I told you lately, that I love you?

    Darn it, I had a legitimate contribution to make and everything. *Pout*

    Yeah OP, I am confused. Do you consider yourselves engaged, or are you indulging in some pre-planning? If it's the latter, please enjoy your relationship as it is and stay away from the wedding planning until you and your SO are engaged.

    If you are engaged, I think there isn't much to do three years out other than look at things you like and make a note of them. Like Tiger said, a lot can change in three years, so any serious planning shouldn't occur until maybe a year before.

    I just wanna know where the $8,000 budget came from. It's in 3 years. Why not $8,500, or $7,600? It's so random.
