Hi there! My fiance and I are having a long engagement - engaged 8.7.12. We are waiting until 7.12.14 - partially because of money and partially because I want to be able to fit into the dress of my dreams and feel amazing on our wedding day. Any other 2014 brides out there?

Me!! My fiance and I got engaged in November and we're waiting until May 2014 because we both really really really want to be at our goal weights
I want to get married sooner but I really want to look amazing in my dress 0 -
Also a 2014 bride! Just got engaged 12/14/12 and we're waiting until I'm done with my graduate program. Our wedding date is 10/11/14. I would like to lose 25 lbs and look AMAZING in my dress 0

I'm probably going to be a 2014 bride, because my bf's mother is getting married 2013 and we don't want to overlap.0

Hi everyone! got engaged 4.28.12 and planning 7.11.14 wedding. feel free to add me! 0

So, 2014 brides... what have you done in your planning so far?
I have... booked my church and my reception venue. I'm waiting on dress shopping. We have our wedding party set, too.
Now, we have to look at caterers. Everyone keeps telling me I have plenty of time - but our reception venue had to be booked on Jan. 2nd. I don't know how people do it in less than a year!0 -
Hi, I'm hopefully a 2014 bride too - though at the moment haven't decided on ANYTHING!
We got engaged on 7th December 2012, and so far all I know is we both want to get married abroad. Looks like it will be 2014 at the earliest as we both want to get in shape and we also have to save for our wedding fund!
Anyone feel free to add me, I know could do with the motivation! :flowerforyou:0 -
So far I've got the dress and ceremony site. I've been starting to check out venues and caterers but haven't gotten too far yet.0

What have we done? We looked at possible dates. I want a winter wedding. We've both been married before - him in January so he's ruled that out. We ruled out December because it intereferes with Christmas. That left February. So we googled Super Bowl 2014 and ruled out 2/1. We also ruled out 2/15 - too close to V-day and too cliche for me. We're set on 2/8 or 2/22. The date we choose depends upon which one is available when we the venue opens for reservations.
I also have my dress picked out and hanging in my closet. Eggplant. Very non-traditional but it's my favorite color and goes well with silver and icy lavender for a twist on a winter theme. Now I hope I don't get too skinny for my dress before then.
Anyone can feel free to add me.0 -
Hi everyone, I got engaged 27.12.12 and we're getting married 23.08.14. Both myself and my fiance have an account on MFP and we're both aiming to lose roughly 23lbs before August 2013, which is exactly a year to our wedding date. I want to lose the weight for my own happiness and comfort, as does he, but also so I can look amazing on my wedding day.0
-
As for planning we have set our date, that's about it. We're touring a few reception venues February 9 and hopefully having our interview with the church at that time as well (we're having a Catholic wedding and it's required of us to be interviewed by the priest).0
-
No plans here yet! We are still trying to decide on a date and where we want to have our wedding. It will be in TX or CA, and we are looking at Spring 2014.0

Hi all, just joined MFP, got engaged in Nov and getting married in Jan 20140

I am Aug 2014. Good luck!0

Hi, got engaged on 12/21/12... the day the world was supposed to end lol.. running joke now... but wedding is set for January 2014. I really need motivation to lose some more weight before the big day but doesnt help that I am an emotional stress eater and the whole wedding thing with my mother has got me very stressed out. Been trying to get back on track but been super hard this past month.
Thought I'd join this group for support and to be supportive as well.

I hope so... We got engaged July 4, 2012 but keep postponing because neither of us likes to plan...
(Might also be that we're not thrilled with the idea of being a "big" B or G"0 -
engaged around jan/feb 2012, wedding july 4, 2012
mostly because of money problems (i work at mcdonalds, he is currently attending college with no job)
somewhat to enjoy being young and not "tied down"
although, we pretty much act however a stereotypical married couple would act already.0 -
get married 2/21, thats my birthday 0
-
Sooo, we picked our venue! Going to go and pay the deposit on Sunday I am so excited!
Now If I could peel off the next 12 pounds I can start trying on dresses.
I figure if I loose half of the total that I want to loose by the wedding that should put me in a good position for alterations and whatnot!0 -
Hello Ladies! I'm a bride to be in 2014 too!! Just got engaged this past couple weeks and so excited... planning a beach wedding so have to lose as much as I can goal is to lose 30 lbs by next January.. and keep them off. I'm pretty sure its way possible, but you never know what can happen.. 0

Hi there!
I just wanted to introduce myself and wish everyone luck on here - I'm getting married next summer, and I feel like if I don't meet my weight loss goals with that kind of motivation looming, when will I? My goal is to lose 35 pounds before I have to walk into a store to dress shop!0 -
Yay 2014! We got engaged 11.16.12 and will be getting married 5.3.2014! I would like to lose about 5-10 more pounds, but am more so worried about maintaining (it's easier for me when I have a weight loss goal, but once I get to maintanance I get lost!). Any advice would be much appreciated! No matter what happens, I know we'll all be beautiful brides!0
-
Same! We got engaged 29.10.11 (ages ago!) and I'm not getting married until 23.09.14, mainly so that I have the time to lose the 84lb that has slowly crept up on me over the last 7 years!0

I'm a 2014 Bride as well! My fiance and I got engaged last October but since we are planning our wedding from a few states away we wanted a lot of time to be able to do it (and I wanted to loose some weight before the big day).
We have it planned for May of next year so hopefully that gives me plenty of time to get to a size that I am comfortable with. My goal is to lose inches not pounds so I'm hoping to get down to a size 6, but would be happy with a nice 8 before the wedding - currently a size 10. I know I can do it!
Venue is picked and date is set, photographer is booked
Only 10000 more details and several other vendors to figure out now 0 -
Hi! Another 2014 bride here! We got engaged 4-28-12 and are getting married 7-4-14. We were going to get married July 13th of this summer but due to money and me not feeling ready (with my weight) we postponed it until next summer! 0

I just got engaged on 2.8.13 and we aren't getting married until Sept/Oct 2014. Date isn't set yet because there's a LOT of stuff we have to figure out before we can set it in stone. I am looking to lose approximately 80-90 lbs by 4 months before the wedding!
My fiance and I have found our wedding and reception locations, chosen our photographer, the hotel our guests will be staying at and that's it!
We got it all done and out of the way first so we can just lay back, relax and chill for several months (maybe until January 2014) before we have to start really making decisions on things!0 -
Hi everyone! Congrats to all of you. :-)
My fiance' and I just got engaged on New Years Eve 2012 and we will be getting married July of 2014! We were originally planning on June of 2013, but his brother, who had only been dating his girlfriend for a couple of months, proposed before my man did and they set their date. Worked out well for us so we have extra time to save money (we are going to be buying our first house around the same time), extra time to plan since most everyone is coming from four different states, and extra time for me to finally reach my goal weight and get fit/in shape! I only have about 10-15 lbs to go, 20 lbs if I am really conscientious, and I am hoping to lose this/tone up by the time I start looking at dresses this July!
We've set our venue for ceremony and reception, booked the DJ, started our registries, and booked the photographer- our engagement photo shoot session is next Saturday, March 16th! :-) Got a lot of the big stuff out of the way so we can really start hitting it hard with other stuff this summer, a little at a time.0 -
Our wedding is October 12 2014! We got engaged August 26 2011! We wanted to buy a house before our wedding so that we'd actually be living together for our wedding lol! We just bought our house 3 weeks ago! We have our venue picked out already! Soon the real craziness starts! Started looking at DJ's and Photographers! I think ill start dress shopping late August/early September 0

We have also set a date of 10/4/14! Just engaged but he wants to have a fall wedding. I guess that means we have 17 months to plan and my family is thankful they have 17 months to lose weight. :happy:0 -
Congratulations, ladies!
I got engaged 1/1/2012 and thought it would be forever before seeing anyone else even considering planning a wedding in 2014! So glad we're finally at this point!
Our wedding is 8/1/2014 in Riverside, California. We decided to wait mainly to save, so I just decided to drop 30 lbs in the interim.
We have our venue, photog, and our save the dates. I even have my dress (bought while at my heaviest, so I'm SOOOO excited to finally try it on without all that extra weight).0
