September 2012 Weddings

Exciting update

We are finally going to close on our house today!!!!!!!  The kicker is though, since our closing isn't until 4 and it is a bank owned property, depending on how long it takes, the bank could be closed so we can sign the papers but they can't do the funding.  In that case we'd be closed but couldn't go into the house until Monday when the bank receives the money ugh!  But after all the delays this week, I'll take it!  I'm hoping the closing maybe gets moved up an hour or so so it isn't an issue and I can get some things done there this weekend!

Another sigh of relief was the final amount we owe is quite a bit less than our broker estimated (better that he overestimated than under).  With this wedding coming up it is a huge relief because the difference is equivalent to 25 wedding guests!  Huge relief since much of the wedding is our responsibility!  Anyone else see the price of things and relate it to wedding guests haha?

Re: Exciting update

  • YAY!!! Congrats! Hopefully the bank has everything set to go and are waiting by the fax!!!!
    I have been relating price per person to everything in the last two weeks.  I am trying to get over it so I don't hold resentment "when" someone doesn't show up. 

    Hope you get to start on your new home this weekend!!!!!

  • That is very exciting news!!! Congrats! I cant wait to start looking for houses (hopefully after the beginning of the year).  And yes, anything finance related I always compare to the price of each wedding guest haha
  • Oh congrats! I'll keep my fingers crossed its earlier for you!
  • That's such awesome news!!!!! Fingers crossed for the bank to play nice. Congrats!
  • I have to know if it worked out??? Did you make it??? And yes... I did that and our venue requires a minimum of 125 so when our number went from 131 to 123, I said screw it... I'll just eat the extras haha. But we're dealing with closing on a house too, we decided to postpone closing till after the wedding luckily. Still a pain in the ass lol

  • We did close on the house on Friday but the funding won't go through until Monday morning so we aren't allowed to enter the house.  We are quite aggravated to lose the weekend to move things.  We are more upset because Tropical Storm Isaac is already dumping rain on us and we were told if something were to happen to the house, "it's okay because your homeowners starts on Friday."  I still have a deductible to pay though so I am responsible for paying for damages but not allowed to enter the house?  We also had to pay the interest for over the weekend so it's "ours" but we can't go in?  We don't fully understand and will fight it legally if God forbid something did happen.  I woke FI up at 7:30 this morning so we could go check on the house.  So far so good!  We should get in tomorrow and we are only expected to get some wind and rain (we are 40 minutes north of Miami) so hoping we get through the night just fine.  I'll probably go check on it again when there is a lull in the wind.  
  • Good luck love! We had some serious storms up here in July and I honestly didn't even go to check on the house. I don't think I'm in that mentality of omgosh my house! I'm still in the omgosh my wedding mentality lol. So excited for you tho! Congrats again!!
