Cupid’s Advice:
This celebrity couple isn’t feeling any pressure to walk down the aisle — despite being engaged for two years already. What are some reasons to postpone planning your big day? Consider this love advice:
1. You can truly enjoy being engaged: For many couples, after the excitement of the proposal dies down, it’s go-time as wedding planning begins. However, if you opt for a longer engagement, you can really enjoy this time as an engaged couple — without the pressure of picking out your dream dress or venue.

2. You can book the best vendors: Trying to plan a wedding in six months or less means you may have to sacrifice some of your top choices for caterers, flower designers, and more. If you’re planning a wedding two years out, though, chances are, you’ll be able to hire all of the best vendors. Plus, you can lock in their rates before they’re bound to rise the following year.
