I thought my engagement was longish, but it turns out it's below average. lol I"ll have been engaged for just under 1 year, like 11 months and 2 1/2 weeks... i think. lol

April is the second lowest month for rain in FL besides November, the lowest. I didn't want to get married in Nov so we went with April. 1 year and 4 months after our engagement.

They're like, "It's not on a Friday is it?" I just want to say, "Who cares!!" I don't believe in bad luck in numbers and such. :)

Re: how long is your engagement: Posted: Aug 25, 2008 11:54 AM Go to message in response to: Knoxvegas; We'll have been engaged 1 year, 2 months by the time we get married. The shocker with us that everyone is still having a problem with is that we got engaged after only being together for a few months.

And I am NOT insane! In Alabama, September starts off hot and tapers down to reasonable as far as weather is concerned...so end of September.

Re: how long is your engagement: Posted: Aug 27, 2008 3:21 PM Go to message in response to: pl8grl7298; I think over a year would have killed me. Ten months is killing me! And there's still two to go...aaargh, I just want it to be over now - partly because I'm looking forward to it so much, and partly because I just want to stop having my life consumed by planning!
