    Ours is right around 14 months, with a week of change. Our wedding date was almost set before the engagement lol, not the year but the month and around what day we wanted was already an idea for us.

    Ours was 14 months. If most our guests weren't travelling we would have had the wedding at 5-6 months.

    Yeah it’s 14 months. I think longer is normal if there are some life milestones for the couple before they want to be married.
