Nearly-wed life
There are many reasons why couples choose an extended engagement period. Dealing with an extended courtship can not only but a strain on the bride and groom-to be, but also for family member and friends who are eager for the impending nuptials. To deal with an extended engagement takes a strong dose of patience to say the least.
I'm not really quite sure what factors played in to our decision why we wanted a 7 month engagement. Whether the couple plans a very long engagement because of personal, financial, or social reasons, they must be prepared to weather questions and concerns from well-meaning people who want to see them finally wed. I am glad that we took time, 2 1/2 years since our first date, as we see later regrets when couples they decided they may have rushed in to things.

ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT IS ABOUT TIME!
Very long engagements are appropriate for some couples, while others are forced to deal with engagements longer than what they’d anticipated. Whatever the circumstances, it is important to be true to your relationship in each stage of the process, whether those stages are days, weeks, months, or years.
