What do you expect...

...your first large purchase to be after you get married?  Besides the house, if you are buying one...

Have you talked about it or are you still reeling from the cost of the wedding?

We actually had this convo recently. We may get new cars. I dont have a vehicle and FI has a gas guzzling pic up so we may trade for a more energy/gas efficiant car/suv

I'm actually not sure...we're buying a house this summer, so a full 8-9 months before our wedding. So we'll have to buy furniture and all that good stuff wayyy before the wedding. Our cars are in good shape.. so yeah, I'm wondering what our first big purchase will actually be. Hopefully something fun, and not a big repair to our home!

I am eyeing a tempurpedic mattress.  Why yes this is pretty lame/tame but we bought a house a couple of years ago and now it just seems like everything we buy is house related (e.g. furniture, new roof, hot water heater) that we have stopped buying the more fun house stuff like a great new mattress.  I am very excited by the prospects...and should probably get out more.

We need new bedroom furniture.  FI has some old secondhand stuff that was left with his house by the prior owner, and I have some old hand me down stuff that will be passed along, and we're planning to get new furniture together.

Our first big purchase is going to be our trip to India.  We're doing a second wedding there followed by our honeymoon.  It isn't a typical "purchase", but certainly our first biggest expense!  And I can't wait!
