It’s mostly good! The only really sad thing for me is that my girlfriend and I are probably not going to marry next year already, because apparently (meaning, according to the internet) the location should be planned and booked 1 to 1 1/2 years in advance. And since we originally hoped for an autumn wedding, we would have to do nothing but check with locations the coming weekends. But those weekends are already scheduled for family and friends and finishing our camper van.
Depending on what y’all are thinking for your wedding, you could always book a location that wouldn’t typically be considered a wedding venue, since those won’t book up as fast. I’ve had a couple of friends get married in mountain picnic areas, for instance.
Ah, yeah that definitely complicates things! I hope you’re able to get your dream wedding, even if it’s further down the line than you’d originally planned.
Thanks, it’ll probably work out, since we both make not bad sums of money. We’re not rich by any means, but going from growing up in families that almost always were in the red to suddenly almost always having to tick the second or third highest income bracket in public surveys is a big step up. It just sucks how expensive everything is, not just weddings; even with our combined income, no children (two dogs, though, to be completely fair) and saving up for years, we’ll only be able to afford a very narrow slice on the housing market (think stuff built in the 1950s and in need of heavy renovations).

Mhmm, unfortunately we’re looking to book castle ruins and even if they’re not super typical wedding locations, they’re still very expensive x.x
