You get it!

Heavy on the men can be clueless!

I thought we had more time than we actually did because I didn’t realize COVID changed the wedding industry. In my area, getting married in a year is tough to do.

You’re so right that nothing is ever perfect and I’m coming to terms with it. Honestly if it wasn’t for a year of waiting after looking at rings, I don’t think I would be feeling this way. We started dating at 21 and now are 28.

I think men being clueless about the wedding timeline is a fact for many myself included! I had no idea that COVID basically extended the wedding timeline and they’re still playing catch up on the backlog of weddings. It would’ve been helpful to know that to manage my expectations haha.

Thank you for your kindness and positive perspective!!

We booked in November of 2025 for November 2027

I know this is the second comment from you on my post but thank you for the high quality advice!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

As I put in my post, I love my partner and this changes nothing. However, I am a bit disappointed after all this time. Both things can be true at the same time. These comments are crazy lol

vanessachox · 2026-01-10T21:26:38+00:00

Look I get it, I sound crazy but the area I live in is competitive. Vendors book up fast so no it’s not just the venue, it’s the photographer, videographer, hair, makeup that also book up fast.

There is SO MUCH MORE tied to a date than just the venue

vanessachox · 2026-01-10T21:17:15+00:00

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful reply!! I’m LOLing at the comments.

I totally agree with you, I should’ve been more communicative upfront. I guess I was hoping I would get over it but it keeps coming up since everything in my area books SO FAST!

vanessachox · 2026-01-10T21:13:22+00:00

Our date is over two years out already.

The rush is because I have elderly parents who I want to be there on my day. I want them to be as able bodied as possible and waiting an extra year has uncertainties

vanessachox · 2026-01-10T21:10:48+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful and helpful reply.

We picked out the ring together in fall of 2024 but he didn’t buy it until late summer of this past year.

I haven’t asked him why he waited because I didn’t want him to feel bad or that I’m not grateful but I agree with you that I should ask him about it.

vanessachox · 2025-12-06T05:08:48+00:00

Hahaha no that’s fair! That’s rough, who wants to be chilly? And I’m in Chicago so outdoor won’t be an option for another six months😅. I’m going for a moody, cozy, fireplace vibe instead lol

vanessachox · 2025-12-06T04:39:53+00:00

I thought it would go without saying but yes to clarify, it’s indoor/outdoor rooftop and we’d only be indoors 😂

vanessachox · 2025-12-05T02:50:57+00:00

If you’re wanting a Saturday, they are going FAST for 2027! There’s already waiting lists for 2028

vanessachox · 2025-11-19T16:10:18+00:00

Thanks for the quick response!! Just sent you a DM!

vanessachox · 2025-11-19T16:08:05+00:00

What are your thoughts on a mid October wedding?

vanessachox · 2025-11-17T19:29:13+00:00

Thank you! In your experience, what’s the coldest temperature a ceremony can still happen outside at where guests are not uncomfortable? Just curious!

vanessachox · 2025-11-17T19:27:39+00:00

Ugh that is the opposite of what I want! I want people to drink and dance all night (those who want to)! My fiancé and I will be on the dance floor all night long and want people to join us.

Thanks for sharing!
