From what I understand, it can be planned in a year's time.  You can find wedding planners that give you step by step instructions on what to do each much, so you won't get overwhelmed.  But on another token, I've seen people get engaged and wait at least two year or so, to get their debts caught up and all so they can actually have a 'fresh start'.  Good luck.

Just do something simple like:\n\nJane Doe and John Smith are happy to announce their recent engagement.  The engagment took place on (date) and the couple is excited as they begining planning for their lives together. \n\nor\n\nOn DATE, John Smith asked Jane Doe to be his wife - and she said  yes! The couple is excited to announce that they are planning to unite their lives in marriage.

well,\nwhenever you feel the time is right. When ever you both sit down and feel like you are ready. You will both know when the time is right. Trust me in that i had the same predicament and when my now fiance and i knew the time was right we got engaged and then now are planning our marriage. Good luck

Depends on the formality of the wedding.Why not ask someone in the Bridal party.

my husband and I waited about three weeks. I knew I really liked him, and I didn't want to be too easy, so I held out. I wanted to right away.\nwe have been married 4 years now.

It all depends on the couple. Some people may feel they have moved too fast and think they should hold off on planning a wedding just yet. Sometimes a couple who is engaged a long time may be holding off because of their job, they  are moving around and don't have time to plan a wedding right away, or they are needing to finish college. There are lots of reasons. Money is also another reason--some people may not be able to get married due to financial reasons.

God will let you know when the time is right or the person.  God does things on His time for us.  Not on our time.  Maybe God knows that you may get hurt so he wants you to wait a bit.  Maybe there is someone else God had in mind that will come along.  Maybe God wants you to be more financially secure before heading into a marriage.  Maybe God wants you do to other things before getting married.  There may be various of reasons but if God is not ready for you to get married, then by all means wait.  He has His reasons.  Be patient!

Wait!!!!!!!!! You're in your last year and it'll take a year to plan the perfect wedding anyway! Girl, finish your edu-ma-cation for the love of....! Sorry if I'm being overly dramatic, but I transfered to be with my bf in my sophomore year, and though I went to a great second school, I had too many credits that didn't transfer and it set me back a year! :-( (And we never got married).

Why in the world would you agree to this?  If he is worth marrying he will wait and you should wait.\n\nResponding to youknowit below:  All the more reason to wait and have a nice wedding.

I know where you're coming from.  It's hard, but if both people are trying, and if it's both heart love and head love, the wait will be worth it.  I would wait years if I had to, but fight for every opportunity to get there as soon as I could.

Ideally one year before the wedding. You wonly have six moths 'till the wedding.. what are you waiting for? Book the church and the reception hall now and start looking for invitations.\n\nCongrats and good luck

i AM SO GLAD WE WAITED UNTIL MARRIAGE. We had no problems at all, it was all very wonderful. I wish everyone could have the joy on their wedding night we experienced. It was like the excitement of Christmas morning. I suggest the couple have good premarital counselling like we did. I also would add to the guys, BE SURE YOU ALWAYS MEET HER NEEDS FIRST.

Don't rush him into it.  Give him time.  I'm sure he'll propose soon since you said that you all have discussed marraige.

You normally have to have been living with your partner for 2 years. If you are not living together or haven't been living together very long, there are other options. Are you planning on getting married, because he could always get a Fiance Visa and then you have to marry within 6 months. That's what I did, because although I had been with my partner for over a couple of years, we had only been living together for 6 months. Good luck : )

It can still happen with him even if you have to wait.... and I bet the longer you wait than the more special it will be because you both will understand how you've sacraficed to wait and it will be so much more important... and you won't have to worry about doing something that you mentioned you both know is supposed to wait until marriage

You can propose at anytime. That doesnt mean you have to get married a week after getting engaged. The marriage could be a year or two after, depending on what you both decide. Juz make sure getting married is what you want before getting married. Or you could simply buy a "promise" ring now and get an engagement ring later on. Good luck.
