It's so amazing how broke we'll be after the wedding and buying our house. It's definitely exciting....but we may need to open some envelopes after the wedding!!

My husband and I did.
We purchased our home on April 29th and got married on May 28th.

It must be really exciting!! But at the same time- make sure you have SOMETHING to fall back on. You never know what kind of emergencies and last-minute things will come up, house or otherwise.

We'll be closing either the week before or the week after I take the bar exam, and then we're getting married 1 month later...yup, just a LITTLE bit to do!

Yes it's extremely stressful and exciting! We're closing today and the wedding's 10/9. I don't know how people did it all within a month or two. I feel like this isn't enough time to finish planning the wedding and getting the house in shape!

We are...It is so exciting but still so stressful! Luckily we budgeted very well for the wedding & are able to put the 20% on the house...It is going to be tight in the beginning but that is part of life!

Well, I'm planning my wedding and selling my mom's co-op! She's not very paper-work / lawyer / real estate agent / potential buyer / accountant friendly!!!!!
Oh yea, and planning our move to North Carolina as soon as the co-op is sold

This was us too! I changed jobs in May, we closed on our house June 9th and got married June 26th! It was a lot but it all worked out fine!

We're closing next week and getting married 10/14. At least we'll have some time in between to straighten out our finances. I was looking at the balances due last night and it's scary

We closed on our condo a month after the wedding and the wedding money definitely went towards the downpayment.
