We’ve recently heard of unengaged ladies taking big wedding-planning steps… What do you think of Planning Your Wedding before you get engaged?
I just learned about a woman who had gone engagement-ring shopping with her long-term boyfriend. A little while later, she found herself at a clothing store that also sold wedding gowns. The store was attempting to purge themselves of their inventory buy offering the dresses at deep discounts. This woman spotted a wedding dress she loved at an amazing price and bought it.
A few months later, her boyfriend broke up with her.
Another girl was dating her boyfriend for about six months when she reserved a date at a wedding hall! True, the venue gets booked up two years in advance, but it requires a ginormous, non-refundable deposit to hold the date. Fortunately, her story has a happy ending: They got engaged a few months after she booked the hall, the dude wasn’t at all spooked by the early wedding planning, and they’re married with two kids now.
Do you think these women were nutty to wedding plan before they were engaged? Or do you think it was fine to take a chance, as long as they understood what a huge risk they were taking? How much pre-engaged wedding planning are you doing?
