Engagement Length

When your feet finally hit the ground again, the first thing to consider is how long your engagement will be. It'll depend on a couple of factors, such as your ideal wedding date and how much time you'll realistically need co prepare the wedding of the millennium. A typical engagement lasts from six months to a year, but many couples stay outside those boundaries. If you want to get married next Tuesday or two years from today, do it!


In any case, no matter how lone your engagement is, build in some break time from all things wedding-related—you don't want to be drowning in wedding planning every single minute from right now until the big day itself. Granted, your nuptials are about the most exciting thing coming or going, but they're not the be-all, end-all, and you need to remind yourselves periodically that
normal life is happening simultaneously. You'll be a lot less stressed out if you take your mind off all things such as carnation, and calypso from time to time.
Your single friends, and those long-married, too, also will appreciate a respite from licking envelopes and hearing about the woes of finding the perfect wedding venue. It will make your life immensely more pleasurable and ensure that you remain healthily grounded m the real world—which is, after all, where you're going to be living once you descend gracefully from cloud nine.
