    Do you mean April 2012? Haha I read that and thought why on earth have such a long engagement?! Hehe.

    Why do they want to move it back a year?

    If it would be a struggle to make all the wedding payments, it would probably be a good idea to wait another year.  I guess it depends on what type of wedding you want.  If right now you can afford a backyard BBQ wedding and that's what you want, go for it.  If you want something fancier and more expensive that would be stretching the budget, save up and wait.  Wedding planning is stressful enough without having money problems :)

    Maybe I'm not understanding, but if you were to have an April 2012 wedding, wouldn't that be just under a year from now, thus giving you a year to plan and pay? Or is FI just wanting April 2012-April 2013 as an additional year to plan and pay?

    I agree with the above post. If you really really want something bigger and grander, and are ok with waiting, then perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea. But if you are thinking something small scale, then I say you should have plenty of time to make something nice but modest happen. 

    Good luck!

    Another agreement for the plus's of postponing. We had a long engagement and it was less stressful because we could take the time...and had more money. I can relate to the idea of wanting to be married as soon as possible, but waiting has its benefits. HTH!

    Money wise it is good to wait. I really wanted to get married later this year but I wanted a nice wedding and didn't want to deal with the stress which is why we're getting married next year, lol and i'm still dealing with the stress you'd think I was the only woman in the world having an outdoor wedding in May!

    Anyways, make the decision on what you and FI want! Keep in mind though that something can always come up...best laid plans and allLaughing

    Can you split the difference and push it back 6 months instead of a year?
