Planning Ahead!!

There is nothing wrong with planning ahead, but just be sure what you are buying is what you will want in 4 years. I started planning my wedding about 2 years in advance and now I have 2 of a bunch of things, non-returnable things. So, just be sure and have fun!
Congrats!!!

Cool you`re getting married on 420-smoker holiday-cool

I have been planning my wedding for almost 9 yrs with 2 more yrs to go, yes it is ok. In that time I have been able to buy stuff on sale and pack it away and it has given me more time to make things instead of buying. I made my own bouquets for 12.00 each and my flower girl basket/ringbearer pillow for about 5.00 each. I think it is better to plan ahead than wait until the last minute.

We have been engaged for one year to the day tomorrow! We won`t be getting married for another 2 years. I think it`s great to plan ahead, enjoy your engagement! It also gives you a lot of time to plan and find great ideas and deals.

Jenn, didn`t you mention somewhere else that you are 16? I think at 16 it`s a lot early to be planning for a wedding four years down the road. Things change drastically after high school and after college age, especially taste.

Hey yea i am 16. But the guy im with is the love of my life. We`ve talked about it and decided that we want to plan ahead. Thanx for the advice everyone. But being 16 and planning ahead isnt bad. I know hes the one i want to spend my life with and yea things may change, but he and i are whats the most important and always will be. We`ll work through anything that comes our way.

I had a boyfriend at 16 that I was in love with too. If I could have married him back then I would have gone for it. We were so much in love!!!!! We were soulmates!!!! We always talked about our life future together and how we would do whatever it takes to always be together. I`m 27 now and I don`t even remember that guy`s last name that I was soulmates with at 16. I laugh about it now, it was cute. Not saying that all young marriages don`t last. I`m sure there are some that do. But whoever said that things change after high school wasn`t kidding. You think you know everything at 16, you think you know what you want and what would make you happy for the rest of your life, you think you understand the responsibilities of a marriage. Girl, enjoy your boyfriend and your high school fun days. Go off to college and get an education, meet new people, date, have fun, take in all the new experiences that life has to offer. Don`t limit yourself. If you graduate college and you and your boyfriend are still together and want to tie the knot then good for you and best wishes!!!! But right now, there is no sense in wedding planning. Forget about wedding planning at your age and just enjoy this time you have, you will never get it back. What many of us would give to be 16 and carefree again, high school can be such a fun time, no need to be so serious and marriage planning. You have many years ahead of you full of exciting things. Don`t drag yourself down now. Good luck and best wishes!!!

I agree with the lastes post, I was so in love in Heath at age 16 i never imagined my life without him. My folks we so against it bc he was 19, well being the rebal I was I moved out. He was the sweetest thing when we were not living together sending me 143 pages during flowers on my car the works. But once we signed the lease on the apt the abuse started. He beat me for almost 2yrs up until I turned 18 I left him I had to wait till 18 so that I could sign my own lease. I am in no waying saying this is going to happen. I am just saying enjoy your life boys are dumb and will say anything at that age to get you. Just dont move out destroy your life like I did, Thank God I did not marry him and we didnot have any kids so I was able to make a clean break. I just never thought that wonderful guy could be the death of me and my childhood. I am 25 now no babies and engaged to a wonderful man --he is someone I would of never gone out with at 16 --we change girl take one day at a time. Good Luck --you are in my prayers
