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

It depends on your relationship.  My husband told me the first time we went out that he was going to marry me.  He asked me officially 4 months later.

Wow, congratulations.\nI suspect you are asking about "married life" and not about the run-up to the wedding next month.\nThe first week, you'll be in total shock, getting used to the idea of being married, laughing when someone calls you "Missus Whatever". The first month, you'll be honeymooning (literally, "honey month"), getting used to living together, having the occasional moment when you bump or miss or say something wrong. The rest of the first year (and for the rest of your life), you'll be fine-tuning those early efforts, trying to get to learn all about another person. And don't kid yourself, even superficially shallow people can take a lot of study.\nCongrats and remember, take it easy. You've got the rest of your life to get it right.

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

Only get married when your ready.  It could take 5 months or 5 years.  Don't rush it because you'll regret it if its not the right person.

It depends on what time of year you prefer, and what day of the week. The most popular months are: April-Oct, and most popular day is Saturday. I would say you're probably safe if you have 6-9 months to go. But, your best bet is to just contact churches and reception sites as soon as possible, especially if you're interested in a particular range of dates in the Spring and Summer months.\n\nGood luck, and have a wonderful wedding!

Anytime of the year! When you are ready, that's the right time. To get married sometimes you need to find the best time of the year due to weather consideration, honeymoon plan, etc. But a proposal? I would say anytime!

Depends on what you want really!\nI am planning mine at the moment, so we can learn together! I am having it at a register office. I had to call to book an appointment with the superintendant registrar. They asked me when I wanted to get married and booked it over the phone! Next week we have to take our passports and proof of address to the register office to prove we haven't been married before.\nWe are having the reception at a local pub owned by a friend, and the flowers I am doing. I am buying silk flowers I can keep forever. My friends are making food so we can have a big huge buffet!\nGood luck with your wedding, get in touch with your wedding date if you need any more help!!

Whatever colours you like.  \n\nIf you are getting married outside, you should probably opt for the morning (before 10am) or later in the evening (after 5 or 6).  And be sure to provide shade for your guests - they'll be waiting out in the sun for probably an hour, so think of their health and comfort.

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).

A wedding planner/consultant is not necessary at all...however, they have specialized training and expertise to lend to the wedding planning process. \n\nA wedding planner can be as involved, or not, as you want him/her to be. S/he can help you plan from start to finish, assist with vendor selections, or just coordinate the vendors and the wedding day schedule. An experienced wedding planner will not offer a literal "Day-of" coordination...a person can't be thrown into a situation, on the day of the event, and expect to make everything run perfectly...expect consultations to start a few months before the wedding date. \n\nWedding planners can also save you a lot of money from the vendors you select. They can suggest vendors, if you want, and negotiate your contracts, if you want. Ultimately the decision is up to you!! Just remember that a wedding planner is going to be able to get you deals from the vendors that you wouldn't be able to get on your own. Although a vendor loves word of mouth referrals, a wedding planner is more likely to bring in more repeat business and not just the one or two of your friends who might be getting married soon. \n\nWedding planners will also be able to put together the schedule of events and contact sheets that are required by vendors. It may not sound like a lot of work, but when you have a full time job it becomes a little overwhelming. Why should you have to worry about coordinating the vendors and creating final schedules to send out to everyone?? Let someone else deal with it! \n\n**The final decisions are yours alone...the coordinator's job is put all of those details together into a cohesive schedule...if your planner is making your decisions, then you've hired the wrong planner**

there's no set time, but you both should be sure that you want to spend the rest of your lives together. it's a huge commitment and takes a lot of work to keep a marriage strong. the best thing is to go slow and get to know each other. it would suck if you got married and found out the guy annoyed the s*** out of you! or that he was a total freak..

How about planning a wedding and a honeymoon?

If you're a close friend or family member, you'll want to get there about 45-60 minutes before hand so you can get a good seat and actually see the ceremony.  If you have a different relationship then close friend or family of the couple, then getting to the ceremony at least 20-30 minutes ahead of the start time is acceptable.  If you are going to the reception, you'll want to arrive around the time scheduled.  Often the wedding party is still taking pictures or doing something on their way to the reception so it doesn't always start on time.  If dinner is being served at a specific time, get there about 15 minutes early to find your seat.  Hope that helps!

As long as your excited about being married you have nothing to worry about. Try focusing on your wedding as a party instead of a "wedding." Think of it as a great time that you get to spend with friends and family, dancing, eating and having fun. That way, the actual "wedding" won't seem as tedious to you.

right away!  you don't want to be stressing over the wedding day when it comes.  plus you have to factor in work too.  there's only so much time you can put aside for your wedding so...yeah i'd start picking out dresses...today!

My dear, if you are having second thoughts then DON'T GET MARRIED!! You don't have to call off the engagement but postpone the wedding. I was married the first time at 25, it lasted 5 years and ended painfully. I am now 32, remarried with a son. I am more mature, responsible, and ready for the committment. It is a life altering change and the "fun" you feel when getting engaged and having a big wedding, etc goes away once reality hits and bills start coming, kids, real life!! Marriage is a wonderful thing...when you are ready for it! Good Luck!!
