I just wanted to know what everyone thought.... im 22 and can currently in university due to end this September woop.
me and my other half got engaged last year and were looking at a really long engagement.. As i dont really know my dad i always wanted my grandad to walk me down the aisle, i went home this weekend and he is really struggling to walk he can with a stick but as i dont go back often i can see the changes in him.
i just feel like not worring about the perfect day because i know my perfect day would be wit all my family there.. so rather than wait till he perfect date 02/05/15 and the perfect wedding costing millions lol.. i dont know weather to just plan it all for next year and have the people i love there...
I have always said that if i won loads of money id get married tomoz so really my 2 questions are
One can u plan a wedding in around hummm 7months to a year lol and two.. do you think its a stupid idea!
sorry girls im just feeling a little bit sad from yesterday u just Imagen people are going to live forever

Q1) Yes you can. Q2) No it's not.
If my grandad was still alive, I would move my wedding so he could be there (I miss him so much).
Have a beautiful cost-effective wedding now and on your 25th anniversary, have a huge day to renew your vows.

Hey
So sorry that you feel sad. Totally your decision whether to bring forward wedding. I think I would in your position, partly because I'm so impatient! It's completely possible to organise a wedding in that time! Good luck with whatever you decide! x
CommentAuthorMrsDadson :0)
I agree, If I could have the wedding of my dreams and risk him not being there or a smaller wedding (that could still be amazing) and him be there, id choose the later. For me its the people that count, not how much it costs and as Tinsel said, you could have a massive party to celebrate an anniversary later on. xx

Ditto: Q1) Yes you can. Q2) No it's not.
If I wanted someone there that was that special to me, I'd bring it forward, personally. And you can totally plan a wedding in that time scale. We started doing stuff towards the wedding in September and I've ticked pretty much everything off the list now. Admittedly, I'm lost without any planning to do for the next 22 weeks and 2 days, but at least it's done! Whatever you decide will be the right thing for you though. Only you know what is the most important thing Hx
Oooo why dont you do a small intimate ceremony as soon as possible and plan for a "blessing" later on when you are ready or settled. That way you get to enjoy it twice ;-)
CommentAuthorHayley
You can definately plan a wedding in under a year :) I was bridesmaid for one of my closest friends a couple of years ago - they got engagement when we were 17 for a commitment thing and had a very long engagement with no talk of a wedding. One day her H2B said shall we set a date? That was just before christmas and they got married the following September :) She got everything she wanted and was glad that they went for it instead of planning it for years. She said she'd been engaged long enough!! lol (she was 26 when they got married) I say go for it :) xx
CommentAuthorMrs b to be
You can plan a wedding under a year just have to decide what you would both like and crack on with planning and starting. I would love for my grandad to be here and see me get married, I would have a small wedding and a blessing later on.
CommentAuthorHonest John!
1. you can most definately plan a wedding in under a year. Apart from the dress we will be doing the whole thing in approx 3 months. 2. no it is not a stupid idea. I like the suggestion from Jaesin for a ceremony now and a big blessing later on
I am pushing to get married this year as W2B parents are not in good health and her aunt is 99!
CommentAuthormcewan07
questoion 2. No it is not stupid
question 1. it is so doable. My aunt had been planning to get married herslef without telling anyone, unfortunately (or fortunately ) she couldn't find her birth certificate, and so had to ask her mum with 5 weeks to go before the wedding if she had it.It then obviously came out that she was getting married, and they refused to let her have nothing but the ceremony, and so the wedding went from just a civil ceremony to a wedding for 50 people, with reception photographer etc all within 5 weeks. It can and has been done.If its what you want go for it!!
CommentAuthorMrsSaraParry!
If its really important for you to have your grandad there then I would definitely consider bringing it forward! My dad died years ago (I'm only 24 now) and obviously now its my mum thats more important to me than anyone. She's just been diagnosed with skin cancer and hopefully will be ok (fingers crossed) but if I thought for a minute that she wouldn't be here when the wedding is planned for, I'd be rearranging things as we speak xxx

CommentAuthorTinsel
Date, venue (ceremony and reception), dress and photographer first, then everything else can be sourced quite easily.
Good luck!

CommentAuthorSteffie
babe, my nan's going to see the consultant about whether the radiotherapy has b*ggered the cancer! if it hasnt we'll be moving our wedding forward! i know exactly how you feel!
my friend did plan her weddings in 6 months (she had a small one here and a massive wedding at home in romania) so it can be done!!! and honestly, if you're anything like me, sometimes being too patient is a pain in the ar5e lol xxx
we booked our venue last april (basically because teachers use it a lot and there were only a few spaces left in 2012) and I've ordered my dress (will be here in August) and everything else will hopefully fall into place xx
CommentAuthorricky
Yes you can plan a wedding in 6 months because that's exactly what we did. We used to live in Spain and my partner got made redundant and cut a long story short we had to come back to the UK because he couldn't find work in Spain due to the economic downturn. Our wedding on the beach went out the window. He got a job very quickly in the UK and then a better one but we needed to move house. I didn't drive so could not continue to work where I was currently working so was out of work. One sunny day at the end of August we were sat on our balcony overlooking the canal having a bottle of red and i was saying i was getting a bit lonely and bored on my own all day. He just said..'Here's your task...plan a wedding for next March' We got married on the 26th march this year ( pics on profile) and the day was fantastic.
CommentAuthorUnknown
hello...of course you can. we have everything for ours in 3 months! we booked our venue march 10 but apart from that and choosing my dress we didnt do anything until christmas!
once you have your venue everything else falls into place! xx
CommentAuthorLatoria
Deffinately go for it sweetie. You only live once! My partner proposed to me in the hospital in front of my nana 2 months before she suddenly died and she requested that I marry at 21 like she did, oh how i wish i listened! Life is too short hunni xxxx
CommentAuthorMagicFairies
It is certainly do-able - it's what we're doing! i'm 20 and at uni, h2b is 19 and working, we have no money but i have saved some money my grandad gave me (about 2,000) and we are using it for our wedding. I don't believe weddings have to cost the earth nor should they! Go for it - have a wonderful day with all the people you love :) xxx
