Wedding venue booked! Oct 2022 (so far away)

Congratulations on the engagement!

I can totally relate to you, Kristen. I got engaged on December 25th, 2020, and was so looking forward to planning a wedding for 2021 BUT with COVID-19 it just wasn't going to be possible. 2022 might seem far away but I think it is going to sneak up faster than we think! I am in the same boat full speed ahead with wedding planning. I am also joining the military and will be leaving for a few months so things will get interesting and a lot of my wedding planning will be left to the groom, mom, and my bridesmaid so I am currently trying to get the big things out of the way now.

I wish you all the best on your planning journey!! Exciting times for sure

Yes! We got engaged this year at thanksgiving, and our wedding is not until may 2022 So much easier having everything planned now! The only issue I am running into is that whenever i want to talk about the wedding, people seem to get annoyed cus its "so far away"

We booked for October 2022 as well! I am doing school come January, and another member of our immediate family s getting married in August of 2021 so waiting, although it feels far away is actually really helpful o we can save more, do more and hopefully have covid-19 off our backs. Our goal/plan is to cash fund our entire wedding so we can start our life together debt free!

We chose July 9th 2022 as well! Things for 2021 booked up fast and since we have been together for 13 years already we figured whats an extra year!

Congrats to both of you !!

Congratulations! My partner and I got engaged on December 13 and are planning on getting married in 2022. We are flexible with our dates and time of year, but we are having such a hard time picking a venue! It's so nice to have lots of time to plan and with the current shutdown, my partner and I are taking our time with our decisions. It is giving us something to look forward to and we had thought having lots of time would reduce the stress. I think I will feel better once we have picked a venue.

Hi Kristen,

Congrats on your engagement! I got engaged on December 07 and we set our date for August 22, 2022 because we also wanted to be able to enjoy the celebrations with our family & friends. It seems SO far away and a little crazy to be doing so much planning already but I’m so excited!

Congrats! We got engaged August 2020. We're planning for June 2022. We never even considered 2021 just for the fact of time to save the money up. As we started planning and meeting with vendors virtually, we've been told and have learned that it's actually a smart decision. We're getting the "covid-pricing" for things that have ended up cheaper than what was previous. Such things as plated and buffet pricing is the same because they can't do buffet. Normally plated service is more than buffet as they wouldn't have had to staff as many people for buffet. It's also a nice excuse the cut some questionable people that would have had to of been obligatory invites. Another vendor said it was smart as a lot are and have been getting pushed to 2022 so having our date locked in is great!

Congrats on your engagement!! I got engaged in July 2019, with the plan to get married October 9, 2020. We had the expensive items booked with deposits. I was getting so excited, had my dress, our rings were already purchased, and we were on track for our date. But due to Covid, we decided to push it back another year and now it's scheduled for October 8, 2022. We're getting married in New Brunswick and we currently live in Alberta, and same with most of our bridal party and my parents. My Fiancée's family live on the east coast, and her parents are older than mine and we determined that it wasn't fair or safe to put either side in jeopardy, health wise or travel wise. Though it wasn't an easy decision, I'm glad that we are able to save longer and we can now schedule an engagement session that we weren't planning on having.

Congrats on the Engagement

I too got engaged on Nov 7th, and we are planning for July 9 2022... The first date we had picked in 2022 was already booked so we went with our now date. And since we live in a small town there is only 2 places to hold a wedding. I have booked all the things and now the fun part. I think having the long engagement will be great this is both of our second marriages but he wants this to be a big event all about our love - he is the 'pinning" king and wants to help with all the things

Congrats on your engagement! I know how you feel (Sort of) in the sense that we went gung ho when we got engaged (July 2019) we booked our wedding for August of this year and had everything ready to go and had a year to wait. With covid we post-poned to May 2021 and we are once again just sitting around. No bridal shower, no bachelorette/bachelor party ect. That being said time is flying! We cant believe we are once again only 5 months away. Just think this actually will take a lot of stress off in the end!

A positive from this is, you have more time to save some money if certain things were out of your budget before.

Taking things as they come is probably the best thing we can do at this moment in time! I know some of our friends are like "oh just get married already who cares". I'm like no! My fiance and I both decided that we only want to have one wedding and if that means we have to wait a little extra to have most of our family and friends there with us, then that's what we're going to do.

We are getting married Aug 6 2022! We had a similar situation in having a popular wedding venue and being worried with Covid (both of our families live in the States). It does feel so weird - the planning and excitement seems to come in waves! I say "We're in the brainstorming stage" and once Save the Dates go out the real planning will start.

Congrats on the engagement! My fiance and I are in a long engagement. It'll be 3 years December 25th! If it wasn't for covid, we would already be married but we postponed until August 2021.

Even though your date is a long ways away, it gives you more time to really plan on what you really want in your wedding and make it perfect! That's what my fiance and I have done with all of this extra time. Enjoy the planning!

Hi Kristen! I also got engaged November this year and my wedding is planned for July 31 2022. Although it feels like a long way away I think this is actually a blessing in disguise. We get to have first dibs on vendors that are popular (especially since our wedding will be on a long weekend) and have lots of time to plan decor and DIY projects. You can also think about your vision for the wedding (how you want the ceremony to go, research different wedding entertainment activities, pinterest a butt load of ideas etc). So even though the wedding may be further away then you had originally wanted, there are still lots of things you can do and plan ahead of time! :-)
