i only have two more months than you and i felt like i had plenty of time! I'd say to see if you can find a venue asap and then decide. June is a pretty popular month so things will probably be booked up already. If it was me i'd try and if it didn't work out move it.. good luck!
Yeah, I think that's what we'll do, start calling around and play it by ear depending on what's available. We're hoping to get married in a state park near here which has special meaning to us, so I'm not worried that will be booked, but there's definitely a possibility no reception venues are available.
I LOVE the halo! I had seen another ring online with a halo that I LOVED but that was over our budget, so when we went to the store to look at rings in person I showed the guy the picture and he immediately pulled this ring. I knew it was the ring right away!
6 months is plenty of time, as long as you're focused and know what you want. If you have a specific vision, be decisive and stay on top of things. If you don't have a specific vision, pull one together as soon as possible, and then get to work on contacting whatever vendors you'll need. You just have to be organized, that's all! Plenty of people here have pulled together weddings in even 2-3 months - all it requires is focus and decisiveness.
I know exactly what I want (ceremony in a state park which has special meaning to us, reception at a nearby banquet facility), the only thing that keeps throwing me for a loop is that I can't figure out what we'd do if it rained the day of the wedding, ceremony-wise. I don't want to get married in a picnic shelter, haha. So if we can figure out a backup, we're good. Otherwise, not so much.
We had 8 months, and we personally would have had a hard time doing it all in less time. But we were (are) both in grad school, I spent a month traveling in Argentina for school in the middle of this, we drove cross country twice and spent another 2 months away from home while I did an internship 3000 miles from home. If we had been in our apartment the whole time, planning the wedding in our home city instead of from across the country and then another continent? We probably could have done it in six months. Is your life smooth enough that you can devote a lot of the next 6 months' free time to planning a wedding

I'm actually just finishing grad school myself (literally... thesis is written, just needs to be approved by the 10th), so I think I'm in a good spot because I'm so used to keeping busy I'll be BORED and will need some wedding planning to keep me occupied!!
Spouse chiming in here: it was hard to go back to doing more work with my free time after the wedding! Before the wedding, when I was feeling the need to procrastinate, I'd just do wedding stuff. Now? Ugh. Grad school makes you feel obligated to always be working and it was nice to have a break from that to plan something else!

OMG YOU'RE TELLING ME!! The past two weekends I haven't had anything to work on, and it was so nice to just lay around and do NOTHING and not feel guilty!
