Hey everyone, FH and I are in a tough decision to purchase a home before or after the wedding. We are currently paying a little over a 1k for our apartment which FH is no longer thrilled about. The problem is our wedding is February 2018 and our lease is up March 2018. I am thinking with so many large wedding expenses coming out of our account during the home buying process may not look good to lenders however FH does not want to rent another apartment. When did you all purchase your home, before or after your wedding and why?

We started looking a couple of months ago and happened to find the perfect house pretty quickly--we'd already been pre-approved for our mortgage, but soooo did not expect to find something this soon. we just closed on our new house, but the sale of my house (which i bought on my own a few years ago but which we had been living in together) won't come till late June. if i had it to do over again i wouldn't necessarily buy/sell/move in the 6 weeks leading up to the wedding, haha, but now that it's nearly all done, it is really nice to be in a home that truly belongs to us both. we also found a spot where we were comfortable financially with both wedding planning and mortgage/moving expenses, which is really the most important thing.
