I would put 3-6 months into my savings account for emergencies. The rest could go into investment options.
As someone who is currently planning a wedding, you're probably going to want some liquidity to a five-figure sum of money (mine is costing about $35k all in all). Just something to keep in mind depending on your saving habits, estimated costs, etc.
I usually keep $6k in “emergency” savings, which is only about 2.5 months expenses, but my spouse makes $250k and has excellent job security so I’d rather invest. I also keep $2500 in a separate savings account for random stuff that comes up like car repairs, major vet trips, spontaneous vacation. Everything else is in a taxable brokerage.
With a wedding coming up though I might try to get to $20k or so, but feel free to take your time doing so.
