Add me in! Ayer, where are you getting married, as I see you are in the Philly area. We booked our venue a few weeks ago, in the Northeast. Is anyone else frustrated (in a good way) with how far away this date seems? lol. We got engaged in June, and it felt then like it was so far away..some vendors will not even book until a year out. Now, i can't believe it is only a year and a half. But I am still hesitant to really start doing anything. We have the church as well as the DJ (family friend).
That's my date too! Booked the reception hall, church, photographer, and DJ. I, too, am worried about rain, but you take that risk with any date you book. It rained at my friend's wedding in July... and she had an outdoor wedding! But it all worked out. It will be here before you know it! Happy planning ladies!
Me!! I got engaged in February 2010 and booked the venue in March 2010. It definitely seemed so far away at the time, but now that it's 18 months away it seems like it's finally in reach!
The good things about a long engagement so far have included: 1) Spreading out the spending 2) Plenty of time to Price Shop
The bad things about a long engagement so far have included: 1) Vendors saying "Call back in 2011 to make an appointment" 2) Places saying "We can't give you a price this far in advance"
I definitely can relate, as I ran into the problem with vendors not booking. Some places have been good though, and have locked in prices for this year, like our venue. The pro has definitely been more time to save. We have been doing very well with putting away a certain amount each month.
I am a 4/28/12 bride as well! We got engaged in Jan 2010 and the last ten months have just flown by. Now that we are 18 months away, it is just unreal. We have the venue and DJ down. This week I am calling the church and florist to set up some appointments. I know almost everyone I am going with, just have to put down the deposits. I defintely feel finally I can start working on things without people thinking I am crazy for waiting until April 2012. It will be here before we know it!
Songbirdz, I am getting married at Coatesville Country Club! What venue did you book? And yes, I definitely feel frustrated with how far away it is! But on the bright side, I'm glad I have time to save and book the vendors I want at good prices! Happy planning!
HI LADIES!!! Getting married 4/28/2012 at Lake Lanier Islands Resort in GA! CANT WAIT!!!!!! CROSSING MY FINGERS FOR NO RAIN!! CONGRATS EVERYONE!!!!! will be a wonderful day for us all!!
