When to start planning a wedding

Q: Is it possible to do things too early when it comes to your wedding - specifically I have found my dress I started looking in June because a store in my home town was closing and I wanted to have some sort of dress comparison. I didn't find any dresses at the store closing (I did buy a head piece) but I have found what I know is "the" dress and as a bonus it matches my head piece perfectly too! My wedding is in September 2002 is it too early to order it now?

A: I would say that it is never too early to begin to plan your wedding! It sounds like you're thrilled with this dress, and if you think that it is "the one", and it gives you that excited feeling everytime you look at it, then by all means...go shopping! If you love it, buy it, if you like it, don't! It's never to early to knock something off your wedding list. As you get closer to the wedding date you'll begin to feel the stress and burden of all the things you still need to do. Besides, getting this dress out of the way now may even relieve a bit of a financial burden as the big day draws nearer!
