How soon after becoming engaged did you get married?

I know the standard is 1 year but is 6 months too soon?

Lol, like two + years. I thought the standard was at LEAST one year.

11 months

For us, 2 months, but we had been together for several years (met in college). I don’t think it matters how long your engagement is, just depends on how much time you need to plan whatever you want to do next.

9 months. We booked the venue before we got engaged 😬

Dated for four months, engaged for three. 7 total months. Will celebrate 20 years next Feb.

A few weeks.

I didn't want a big fancy wedding, and I was pregnant and preferred to be married before he was born.

Dated one year. Engaged about 4 months. Happily married for 14+ years now.

8 months. The church required 6 months of premarital counseling before we could get married.

OP here. We got engaged over the weekend and I’m wondering if a September/October wedding is too soon? Some extended family members will be available then and it’s the perfect timing with our work schedules.

That’s a forced marriage. This is not the type of marriage op is asking about.

That is absolutely not too soon.

Nobody forced us to get married.

Yes, go for it! My friend did this timing last year. Try to get the venue squared away asap, and then send the save the dates. I recommend hiring some kind of planner or asking a relative or friend who has event experience to help. It’s not necessary, but for me when I planned mine in 2 months my family member’s expertise was soooo helpful.
