How Long Should the Engagement Last?

Usually, it takes longer than just a few months to really get to know someone. It is a good idea to date someone for at least a year before you decide to get engaged, and remain engaged last at least another year before you tie the knot. This way you’ll have time to get to know your significant other even better, and you’ll have enough time to plan the wedding.

Are You Ready to Get Engaged?

So, you think you’ve found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. Are you sure about that? I mean, absolutely and positively sure about it? Because if you’re even considering proposing marriage, you had better be certain that your significant other is really “the one.” Otherwise, you could be looking at a divorce years (or even months!) down the line.

Wedding Budget Expectations

The average wedding cost is $29,000. Reading that figure can cause many brides to hyperventilate. When I first started budgeting for my wedding, I nearly had a panic attack. In my wedding planning process, I learned a lot about catering options, florists, and venues.

Who do I invite to my wedding?

The number of guests that you will be able to invite depends on the kind of wedding that you are planning to have and the budget that you have to work with.
