My fiance and I plan to get married on June 21st, 2014. So thats roughly two years away. I want to know when should I start planning for my wedding since its two years away. I am finishing up school and thats why we are waiting to two years to get married. And what do I need to put on my to do list when it comes to planning the wedding ceremony and reception.
Answer
Things you can do now are deciding on and booking a venue for wedding and reception. Some venues book years in advance, so if you want a popular one, you might have to act now. Especially if you are having your wedding in June, as you are.
Another thing to decide on now is the budget. Who is paying, and how much can they afford?Do you want to spend big bucks, or not?
Another things, is a savings plan, how much can you put away by being thrifty. I love some peoples ideas of thrifty here, it is funny. The one chick got an expensive phone for her birthday from her husband, how nice. But she is on a strict budget she says. Hmmm, LOL.
So decide what kind of a budget works for you.
Another is the guest list. How many people can you afford to host? Who will they be, friends, family, co-workers, neighbors?
And decide the general style. Do you want bling, do you want romantic, just some general ideas so you will be ahead of the game.
Ask hubby to be for a keepsake/hope chest so you can save things for a marriage. Or, delegate a really good storage chest with a tight lid for things. Save and buy things as you go if you like, if you are sure of the commitment. Buy things that will not fall apart with time, and can withstand dampness, dust.
And in that line, if you are a crafter, and want things like monogrammed towels, now is the time to get started.
Things that it is way to soon to do: asking people to be in the wedding. Neither you or they know where they will be in 2 years
Reserving a officiant. Same thing, your pastor might have been just that for 30 years, but what if he decides to retire, and does not give his commitment to you a second thought-now what?
And now is a good time to do a little online research and reading. You can read and eliminate things now. Yes, I want a flower girl. No, no bubble blowing.
The knot.com is a good free site to use, they get just about everything about the wedding and everything connected with it covered.
Make lists. It can't hurt. Write down general things, like "limo" or bouquets for bridesmaids" rather than a particular store. gain, in two years, that store could long be out of business.
Buy a wedding planning kit[expensive] or get a loose leaf folder and some paper and go. Some of those subject dividers with the little plastic thumb tabs that you put the subject in would be a good investment.
Listen to music. Go on line, there are sites where you literally pick that tune and it plays if for you. Sometimes I think people pick some really strange music for their wedding, They pick these heart-wrenching tunes of love lost, when they have never experienced anything like that. And how is that appropriate on a "white lace and photographs, a kiss for luck and we're on our way" day?
Thank you, Carpenters, for the lyrics.
And it will get you all revved up for the wedding day.
Congrats, good luck, do well in school, and when you start planning for real, ask us when you need info, we are here.

Can anyone give me some information about the new consoles?
Achraf
I heard that the PS4 will get online gaming but you have to pay for it. And that the XBOX720 is coming around March. Is that true? And can you please give me more info about the new consoles?
Answer
I hope you dont mean march of this year lol. The earliest they will drop is probably december of this year for the holidays. Very little info has been leaked besides info about the controllers and the amount of storage each console will have, and what it will be running on etc. Sony wants microsoft to make first mobe so expect xbox to release first like last time. Im not expecting either console to be released till about Fall of 2014
