so i've been engaged since the first week of november and we are considering a late september 2011 or spring 2012 wedding. with the holidays i haven't had much of an opportunity to start planning. we have visited a few venues and have some ideas about reception sites but i'm a little worried that 8 months isn't enough time to plan a wedding (i tend to get stressed with deadlines). on the other hand, spring 2012 seems a bit far away. any input as to whether planning a september 2011 would be too stressful to enjoy? my biggest concern is finding/ordering a dress and deciding on a venue. any input appreciated!
