    Hey!! Right now mine are 2 and 7 months!! They will be the same age as yours when we get married. My oldest is in daycare part time so while the little one is napping I’m researching like crazy haha bedtime is good for some wedding planning time as well. I haven’t begun DIY-ing yet but I’ve started looking at things to buy. Pinterest has been so great at helping narrow down what I want for decor. Long engagements are so necessarily with young kids!! Where are you located??

    Hey Sarah, how old are your babies? Planning a wedding with 2 kids, and life in general is crazy. I have 2 girls ( Josie and Ivy) 18 months apart aged 2 and 3.5. So long engagements are great for lots of DYI and researching the $^$# out of everything!

    Longer! It will have been a total of 1 year and 9 months (21 months).

    Not sure how long this will be the stats though seeing as more and more venues book up over a year in advance...

    A lot longer. We have been together for 9 years so not a huge rush. We want to give our families enough time to save be able to make it. My fiance family is in England and Mine in New Mexico so we want to make sure everyone can be there.

    Ours will be 18 months long, mostly because I wanted to finish university before we got married

    23.5 months for us. We knew any sooner than that wouldn't be good for us.
