Congrats to all the beautiful brides here! I haven't had the time to post but I have been checking in on everyone and I'm so happy we all made it through all the craziness and enjoyed our very special days.
Now unfortunately I'm feeling a little bummed. My car is in my mom's name. When I bought it 4 years ago she offered, because she has perfect credit and got a much better financing deal. I was still living at home at the time so I've made all the payments, but her name and address is on the title and the car is covered under my parent's insurance with me listed as a driver.
Now that I'm married and living with my hubby (though I moved in after we got engaged) I have found out I cannot change my name or address until my car is paid off. The car cannot be put in my name and the insurance will drop me and my car if they found out I moved. I can't get my own insurance for it because the car isn't in my name. I can't have the car put into my name unless either I pay it off and they "gift" the car to me or I take out a loan in my own name. Option 2 wouldn't be terrible except I only owe $2500 on the car at this point. To take out a loan for that amount and have my payments go up and owe more in interest doesn't seem wise to me. I'm buckling down and hoping to have it paid off by May at the latest. I know overall it's not that big of a deal to go by my maiden name and address for now, but it kinda makes me a little sad.
