I'm not sure if this is the best board to post this question in, but wondering if anyone else out there is postponing the ring and wedding to purchase a home first? Given the state of our economy and the real estate market, we are thinking it is wise to buy now if we can, and then start saving $$ for the ring and wedding.
This is because we have to pay for our wedding ourselves.
This means we will basically have an unfurnished house for many months/year(s) while we save for the wedding.
Ring, wedding, house - who can afford to do it all??
