Buying a home and planning a wedding??

Would also like to add in we would be first time home buyers 🙂

I’m in a similar situation! My original wedding date was June 7th. Our apt lease ends June14th. We heard that at the moment it’s prob best to not buy a home because the market will get worse in the next few months and we could possibly score a better deal! Also first time home buyers

We started house hunting December 2018. We got engaged June 8th. Due to the market we kept having bidding wars on houses. On June 12th we were finally accepted on our house. Because of this we decided to have a two year engagement. Our wedding is July 2021. So 2019 was all house taking care of it and getting furniture. 2020 started planning and saving! Happy with a 2 year. Gives me time to save and figure out what we want

View Quoted Comment Our original wedding date was May 2nd, but due to Covid-19 we moved it to the fall 😞 but with that being said, we have most of it planned and picked out. Also we already have a house together, I was just trying to figure out if the house buying process was gonna be stressful

Our wedding is the end of October and our lease is up the end of November

I got my house maybe half a year or so after marrying but i can tell ya the process in itself definitely is overwhelming because it is so fast paced once your offer gets accepted

Same boat, girl. We're in a rental right now and our lease is up at the end of June. Our wedding is in October so we're trying to buy a house on top of paying for our own wedding. Depending on what you want, it's definitely doable though! The new construction homes usually give incentives that make it more affordable. For first time buyers, you usually only have to put 3.5% down and the builders will cover closing costs a lot of times. There are also many programs that you could qualify for depending on income, credit score, etc. That being said, if you're going with a new construction, definitely start the process like now. We were convinced we didn't want a new construction home and then changed our minds but because we're so close to needing to move, we can only pick from the pre-built plans as opposed to us choosing the floorplans, finish outs, and lot. Hope this helps Good luck on your search!

We are also house hunting. We are praying to have something by the beginning of winter the latest. Paying for most of our wedding and having to save for the house has been stressful to say the least. When we spoke about the wedding and budgeting he told me to do whatever I want and that’s what I did. Then I got pregnant a few weeks after we got engaged And put our deposits down. If I would have known that we would have a 2 year old by the time we were married I would have had more time to plan accordingly. Throwing a baby into the mix has definitely added more pressure. I understand what it’s like to undertake so much but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

We are house hunting while planning! We originally planned to buy FH's family farm house and bring it back to life, but his uncle is currently living there and has still not moved out after 8 months. It's been very stressful and we're honestly getting tired of waiting. We could've had it maybe half way done if he was out by the original date we all decided on. So we are now in the process of looking for something else. Hopefully we can start touring some houses here soon. I'm actually enjoying it because I can have a break from wedding planning for a bit and be excited about something new. Then once I get worn out from houses I can work on DIY wedding projects!
