Hey all,

My boyfriend is proposing soon and was looking for some advice on wedding planning/timelines. It seems like the best time to get married is M4 prior to June due to residency orientation. However, it feels impossible to plan a wedding in a year or less as venues are booked well in advance.

My main concern is how to book a venue 2-3 years in advance when I won’t know if I’ll even match, what my schedule will be, or if the program even let me have that day off.

Weve been together for 10+ years and don’t want a super long engagement (ie >3 years) or to elope. Any advice on how you may have navigated a similar situation would be helpful!
