My partner and I had been together four years with marriage always as a vague "someday" plan. Then a few weeks ago we just looked at each other and decided we were done waiting so now we're planning a wedding on a timeline that would make most people sweat.
Juneeeeeee. Everyone I know booked their venue a year or two out. We're working with a fraction of that which means fewer options, rush fees and random costs out of nowhere. Still no regrets if we kept waiting for the right time, we'd still be waiting.
What I wasn't prepared for is how much fine print comes with moving fast: contracts, cancellation policies, deposits stacking up before we've caught our breath. Has anyone else pulled off a last minute wedding? Did the short timeline change how you handled contracts or protecting your budget? We're putting down serious money quickly, so we're looking into wedding insurance not expecting disaster, just to be safe. Who did you go with and was it worth it?
