Would you rather wait for dream venue for 2025 date or settle for 2024 date at a venue that’s not your top choice? In 30s for context - if I was in my 20s wouldn’t mind waiting!

For me personally, I started planning my wedding about a year out and I’m burnt out two months before my wedding so the thought of extending it and potentially be planning for a longer period seems exhausting but I also didn’t have a dream venue.

I felt exactly the same (just got married last month) hang in there everything will be worth it and now the freedom post wedding is AMAZING!!

The venue not important- the marriage is. 2024.

I’m in my 20’s dating my soulmate (ring is literally done being customized at jewelry store SIL manages) and I’d 10/10 get married this second if possible. My “dream wedding” is marrying him as soon as possible. We’re early-mid 20’s and broke with student debt, and we don’t want to go all out because we want a small wedding. I just want to marry him and that matters more to me than a venue. But that’s just us and the venue isn’t a priority to us because of money. Do what’ll make you happy. Would the 2024 date give you regrets? Or are you just itching to marry your best friend?

are you planning on having kids asap as well? honestly if you live together i don’t see a huge difference between married or not married.. so if you were planning on waiting until after 2025 for kids (if you plan on having them at all) i’d hold off for the dream wedding

Currently facing this same dilemma. The venue I love doesn’t have spring/summer dates until 2025, and I’d like to get married before my 30th Birthday in November 2024. So looking for alternative options but nothing looks promising

Does your dream venue have availability for weekdays in 2024? Last year when we started planning our dream venue said they had no weekends in 2023 and we had to wait until 2024 for a weekend, however they had an opening for a random Tuesday and that’s what we did! No regrets at all and guest were super understanding!!!

Curious what anyone thinks about cologne? Is it a turn on? I am not really into it.. but I just got a whiff of this dude at the gym and the cologne did something to me 🥰 It was really subtle. I tend to just like the way a man smells (not body odor but just natural scent) and don’t usually like it covered up, but wow this guy tonight 🥵 I might might buy some but i figured it would be gay to ask him “what are you wearing” because that prob isn’t something the bros at the gym do.
