Moving in before wedding

So my fiancè and I want to move in together and we had pretty much planned it for mid June. We are just waiting on approval on the apartment. Well today he says he wants to wait until after the wedding to move in together. This is only because his parents don't really like the idea. My reasoning is...

So my fiancè and I want to move in together and we had pretty much planned it for mid June. We are just waiting on approval on the apartment. Well today he says he wants to wait until after the wedding to move in together. This is only because his parents don't really like the idea. My reasoning is this- I don't want to wait until the month of the wedding because it'll be too stressful and I don't want to take off any extra days for moving when it's suppose to be our honeymoon... I would say the month before, but it would have to be mid July because of bridal showers taking up most weekends. He doesn't think we have the money, which we do but things will be tighter until the wedding... I just don't know what to do. Anyone move in with their SO before the wedding even though things were tight, but everything worked out ok??

    Move in sooner. My parents weren't happy when my FH and I moved in together a little over a year ago but we had been dating for 1.5 years and got engaged. My parents were super upset and didn't get over it for about 6 months, and I'm almost 30. However, despite his parents being upset now, they WILL get over it. I come from a very conservative Catholic family and they got over it quickly because they saw me and FH made it work.

    2 months isn't a big deal and trust me, they'll deal.

    Well, thank you everyone! I talked with my parents and they agree. They are still supportive like his family (they are, I promise!) is, but they want us to save more money. I was in a venting mood for sure. We are going to see if the apartment manager will notify us of an August availability and move in after the wedding. My parents have kindly offered to move our stuff in while we honeymoon. So I can't argue with that. I really want to move in before because we live an hour away from each other and work almost opposite shifts. I just want to see him more. We can afford to move in before, but saving more will be less stress for both of us. Thank you everyone for the advice! This is the most comments on any post I've done! That's awesome! I'm bummed, but this is far more beneficial in the long run!

    FH and I moved in together after a month and a half of dating. It was super quick, but sometimes you just know it's right. I'm so glad we made that choice, because we've been able to work through the rough times and make sure we're compatible to live together forever. We've not only been through personality conflicts that only arise when living together, we've also made it through other stressful situations and only come out stronger.

    We've been living together for over 5 years. We just bought a house together last summer. It sucked, because a lot of wedding funds turned into closing costs, but I'm glad we have our living arrangements figured out! I would hate to have to deal with the stress of moving right after the stress of a wedding!

    My FH and I have lived together for almost three years now. In my opinion I would t marry someone whom I haven't lived with. So much changes once you live together. But again that it just personal preference.

    I understand not moving in together until the wedding. I would start moving stuff in, but if that's his preference, wait until after the wedding. FH and I would love to just move in together now, but I am going to be a church worker and that's not allowed. You do what you have to do.
