12/2 and ceiling fans

I am unclear about a wiring question. I need to install a ceiling fan with an attached light in my living room ceiling. When I did the sheetrocking and wiring a while back, this is a handyman special ordeal, I put up 12/2 wiring. Will this suffice for this piece of hardware or should I just put a light in? A dimmer switch was in the plans to control the fan and light. Thank you for your time.

Buy a fan with the built in remote or an after-market remote and the 12-2 will work for you. Otherwise, you need 12-3 to control the light and fan individually.
