Wedding Planning - Engagement

So if you haven’t heard (aka been far away from my Instagram the last eight months) I got engaged! I chatted all about the proposal over in this post if your curious and nosy and like cute love stories.

The first few months we really hadn’t done a whole lot of wedding planning – we wanted a bunch of time to just soak it all in without diving into the planning process. 

That few months of soaking it in turned into a few more months and I decided it was about time we start booking things. We had already decided on a Fall 2020 wedding, so it was time to get our butts in gear. 

I knew I wanted tons of time to plan, so I’m super grateful to still have about a year and a half to knock out all the wedding tasks. 

The biggest and most daunting of all was definitely the venue (which also means the date!) and I’m so excited to announce that we finally booked

So you recently got engaged, congrats! It’s such a fun time in your life to finally be able to celebrate you and your beau’s love with all the favorite people in your lives. 

If you missed it, I recently got engaged as well! I wrote all about the proposal here. We’ve decided on a bit of a longer engagement, so it’s been so nice to relax and just soak up the excitement before jumping into planning mode.

What To Expect After Getting Engaged

Engaged

If you haven’t heard the news, Justin and I got engaged back in September! You can read all about the proposal here, and check my Instagram for lots of ring pictures and updates!

Since then, I’ve been doing a lot (& I mean a lot) of reading and research on weddings. We’ve decided to have a bit of a longer engagement (two years ish), as we don’t plan on doing any major planning or booking until the new year. 

So far it’s been so fun just to read up, throw ideas around and fantasize a bit. 

I’ve come across a lot of information about being newly engaged, and I thought it would be fun to share that! Though we already live together, so not much has changed (or will change with marriage), some things do feel different now that we’re engaged.
