I know many people in my personal life as well as on PS that are having long engagements. BF and I will probably be having between a 12-15 month engagement, depending on when he proposes. I consider a long engagement to be more than 18 months. BF has always said that he refuses to have a long engagement because everyone he has known to be engaged for that amount of time or longer has ended up calling off the wedding. I always laughed and said that it was just a coincidence. However, in the past year, three of my friends (I'm not super close with them) who were having long engagements have called off their weddings.
I'm just wondering what you all think of a long engagement period (18 months +). I know it completely depends on the couple. But, I'm wondering if so many with long engagements end up breaking it off because maybe they get too obsessed with the wedding details and forget to focus on their relationship? Or maybe they would have ended up divorced anyways? Feel free to add other theories or the pros/cons of long engagements.
slg47 and HopeDream, you two are the only ones I can think of who are having long engagements as I know you are both getting married next summer (which is when I hope to get married as well). I would love to hear how things are going for you all and your input as well!
