We did what was right for us. For both of us to be done with school and not relying on our parents. Did we want to wait this long, no. But is it worth it, yes! We are not as stressed and our wedding is all paid for. Enjoy this time!Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14205609309027348439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540381131358184293.post-83457455856883271562013-03-16T09:28:28.974-04:002013-03-16T09:28:28.974-04:00Good for you girl!Good for you girl!LuLuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955459284555718712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540381131358184293.post-56371210392884874962013-03-13T21:38:47.090-04:002013-03-13T21:38:47.090-04:00Moral of my story - you guys are doing what's ...Moral of my story - you guys are doing what's right for you.

I hate when people don't think about everything that comes with actually being married and sharing a life together.

BUT We made the decision to pay off our cars and loans beforehand, so we can really get started on a debt free, happy life. It's hard, but it makes it a lot easier to be frugal! Every time I want to spend money on something stupid, I remind myself that the sooner my debt is paid, the sooner BF is Husband! You two are smart to wait, and it just shows how great of a couple you are :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584839684941499222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540381131358184293.post-6436466258404344472013-03-13T11:45:49.827-04:002013-03-13T11:45:49.827-04:00Good for you!!!

BUT I know where you're coming from and I hope you get the wedding you've always wanted! I'm sure you and your fiance are both ready to make the leap right now but I admire your maturity and responsibility in waiting until things are financially stable! We (your readers) will remember to practice patience but we'll be super excited when those wedding posts come up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540381131358184293.post-9234759377430714332013-03-13T10:44:09.694-04:002013-03-13T10:44:09.694-04:00I think this decision makes you wise beyond your y...I think this decision makes you wise beyond your years.
