I was thinking about this because my hubby’s twin brother is getting married and he is super involved in the planning. He even looks at bridal magazines and pictures of dresses with my future SIL.

I thought this was interesting because my hubby was very laid back about our wedding planning. He was more of a "whatever you want, honey" type of guy. : )

It’s amazing how different they are in regards to this! They’re identical by the way.

So how involved would you say your fiance is in the wedding planning?
Just curious. : )

He pretty much says "uh huh" "Ok" "Sure" and my favorite "Do whatever will make you happy". There have been a few things he said no to, but we’re both Gemini’s so I know if I just ask him another day he’ll say ok LOL.

He did have a groomzilla moment where he announced loudly "It’s MY wedding" but after I gave him *the look* he went back to playing his video game and hasn’t made a peep since.

just wondering….how long were you engaged? did you plan the whole time? or did you take some time off during your planning? and again…What is the minimum amount of time it would take to plan a wedding?

I took 8 months to plan my wedding, because we got engaged at the end of Sept and had the wedding in May. But that was also because I am an accountant and had tax season to go through. There was another girl in my office who planned her wedding in 2 months, but she has been engaged for about 4 years…

The answer: it takes as long as you want it to. If you want a fancy hall, great food, that gorgeous designer dress that will take 4 months to make and deliver, then you need to take that all into consideration. If you are going to go to a bridal dress outlet, bring home your dress that day and have your bridesmaids get something from a store like Macys, adn have the wedding at a friends house with a BBQ after, then I think you could do it in 2months.
Etiquette says you should send out invitations 2 months before so keep that in mind.

Also, i found that the longer it goes on, the more frustrating it is because you have all the little details in your head and you drive yourself crazy trying to remember it all so it will go off perfectly. Best to just get it over with and get on with your marriage I say. The sooner the better!
