When would you move? Before or after the wedding, if you did not live with your FI?

    Ooh...This is a tough one. 

    I'd say either at least 2 months before, because less than 2 months to the wedding, things could get hectic.  

    If not before the wedding, then right after?  I'd definitely make sure that all wedding gifts and whatnot went to the permanent residence and that's where I'd take stuff after the wedding.

    My SIL moved into my brother's apartment after the wedding.  She was living at home before so she pretty much just moved everything non essential before and her parents moved everything else during the honeymoon.

    My sister and BIL bought a house before they were married.  My BIL moved in and sister stayed in her apartment until after.  Again she took over non-essentials before and then moved the essentials in after the wedding.  They had to plan around her school and BIL's brother's navy schedule.  They didn't take a honeymoon for a few months.

    I guess it would complicate things if you weren't in the same city.

    I moved three hours away for work, about a month ago - and drive on my days off.  FI is moving down the Monday after the wedding.

    My sister is moving 3 weeks before the wedding and her stress is stressing me. My vote was to move all of the big stuff after the wedding and move the small stuff before. I didn't get a vote, so here we are.

    You need what, two cases? Three? 

    Let's see:  17 days/3 people + wedding + crazy x 2 = Yeah, we're going to need to send 4 cases.

    I have a feeling my sister is going to move to her FI's house when my mom gets here. They butt heads too much for this to be a good idea. They are both bossy and just alike.

       We currently don't live together, although I'm over at his place all the time. We rented an apartment together about 3 weeks ago. He's in there full time now, I won't move in fully until after the wedding (Oct 13). I have moved over everything I don't need on a day to day basis.

    Let them stay at your place and you go get a room somewhere.

    This is why movers are available for hire - so you don't have to lift a FINGER!

    Move in after...  There's enough stress just dealing with the wedding, and it's a great "what's next" after the day for a getting back to reality activity after.  Plus, by doing so it helps the priest/minister/Great Gravel Gurties of the world from not getting uptight..

    I forgot the best part. She's going to stay with me, which isn't a problem. But, she just told me that my mom is also going to be staying with me for 17 days leading up to the wedding.

    I knew my mom was coming early but she was suppose to stay with my sister. Now I'm going to have crazy bride and crazy MOB staying with me.

    Y'all send me wine, please.

    I wonder what the two week rate would be for any of the local hotels???  REALLY!!! 

    You have my deepest sympathies!!!  Honestly, I would check because it'll be a lot "easier" on everyone for things to work that way!

    Yeah, fuck all that. My husband and I moved in with each other almost four years before we got married and bought a house together more that three years before we got married. Not moving in with each other is for the birds.

    we lived together for about 10 months before we were married, so it's a bit of a moot point for us. 

    I would say to move when is most convenient for the couple (e.g if someone's lease is running out or if someone sells their property prior to the wedding). My parents bought their house before they were married. They moved in all of the stuff before the wedding (they didn't have much of anything at that point since both lived at home) - and one of them ( don't remember which) lived in the house until the wedding. After the wedding, the other person moved their last few items in. They also lived locally, so this was much easier to coordinate.

    Update:

    The bride decided after moving Saturday, that she has so much unpacking to do, that she's going to just stay at her new house. Can I get a whoop whoop!

    I also spoke with my aunt and she's going to try and entertain my mom during the day, while I'm working.

     

    Is this proof prayers work?
