Hi everyone!!
I will begin my Ph.D. program in January (hopefully!), and I've been engaged since June of this year. My fiance and I originally planned for a June 2011 wedding, but moved it for financial reasons. So now the date is June 2012, which would be like a year and a half of the program. I was talking to my aunt the other day and I was telling her when I planned to marry. She begged me not to marry until I finished school because being married is apparently hard...(?) Now I'm not saying that marriage is an easy road, but I just don't agree with waiting until I receive a Ph.D. to marry my fiance. He's a strong advocate of my education, so he's not a distraction.
So I guess my question is when are you getting married, and if you're getting married during your program, how do you think it will affect you?
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
