Why would you make wedding plans before having visa in hand?

It is never a good idea to break the golden rule of immigration.

I'm an optimist and I truly hope it comes through for you,  but we all need to cover our *ss,  meaning "I hope he didn't put out a lot of money for a venue and printing"

Kind of like asking how long is a piece of string (it depends).
 

But I think the old adage of hope for the best but prepare for the worst, be hopeful that you can get out for the date you want to get married but also look into the procedure to move anything you have already booked and don’t book anything more until you have the visa in your hand (and CFO fully complete).

There isn't anyone with any certainty can tell you or anyone else how long your process will take.

 

I'm surprised that you didn't read the inscription in the P3 letter from USEM. It states the following:

 

Do not finalize arrangements for travel to the United States, dispose of property, or resign from your job until a visa has been issued and delivered to you. Generally, a single-entry fiancé(e) (K1) nonimmigrant visa is valid for six months from the date of issuance, unless its validity is limited by medical or other restrictions.

A 221g for additional documents can add weeks or even months to the process.  Just have to be patient.
