Anyone wish they would have gotten married sooner?

At first we talked about going somewhere tropical and have a wedding, just the two of us. Then decided to do a wedding kind of for the family. There are many moments I wish we would just elope lol. Your not alone

I wish we COULD get married sooner. I wanted to get married this October, but I have a year of graduate school left, and has a job in another state, so we have to wait until I am finished with classes and start rotations, so I have to wait until May.

It is probably a good thing though, because haven't done a lot for it yet :/

So since it is in May and not October, I have a little more time!

Fit your wedding to your budget! If you can't afford the wedding you originally had planned, you don't have to keep it that way! Make small changes so that you can afford it.

I can't imagine anything worse than starting your married life together with a bunch of debt from a wedding you couldn't afford and a new baby that you are paying for!

How much of your wedding do you have set in stone?

Rachel - The only thing we have done is put a deposit down on our venue, but the problem is this venue is what is making the wedding unaffordable...it's going to cost a minimum of $5800 for the venue and the catering and that's only for 50 people. We have literally NO money left in savings for me to even start talking to other vendors or to go look for a dress or anything....We HAD about a thousand dollars to work with...and then all of a sudden it was gone. Life is not good for us right at the moment lol.

Later

I'm not into 'getting' married though I do want to 'be' married

Part of me wishes we were both older and just doing it because of the legal protection it gives you

I did want to get married sooner, but, my date is just rigjht. I am trying to get graduation out of the way next year first and then I can focus all my attention on my wedding instead of running myself ragged.

I wish I would have met FH when we were both younger, and I would have gladly married him 6 months after we met. This waiting until November is killing me.

But at the same time, if you'd gotten married in Vegas, you'd likely be looking back and wishing you'd waited--you would have likely not realized that you couldn't have afforded it or whatnot. =)

They're just different situations. Food for thought!

I actually really doubt I would have regretted it. I think it would have been the best thing we could have done. oh well too late now.

Yes, I wish I would have planned for a earlier date... I only have 94 days left!!!

I wish...

I wish I was getting married in October but no...(sad face)

Nope. We've been engaged 10 years, together 12+. I wouldn't have changed a thing.

@Mary K, pretty much where my fiance and I are at. Its tough calling places and they won't discuss things with me because I'm not his wife. Like hello, I'm just trying to pay a frigging bill. MA does not have common law marriage. If he gets sick or something, the hospital doesn't recognize me as anything..

I somewhat understand what same sex couples go through in the legal aspect. Its not easy at all. Although fiance and i decided not to get married early on, same sex couples have no choice.
