Moving in together AFTER wedding!

You can still know the kind of house theme you want regardless of living together before. Don't let that get you down! Just have fun and enjoy registering for everything!

My fiancé and I live in different states because of school, so a few weeks after I graduate we'll get married and I'll move in with him! We'll likely be living in a tiny apartment so I don't even know if we'll have room for our wedding gifts lol

Likely doing this too! Nothing weird about it

You guys are in a great place to have the flexibility to move when a place becomes available. I would register for the necessities. Kitchen supplies, plates, cups, linens, towels, vacuum, etc.

I think it is great that you are sticking to your values. I do like what a previous poster said. Get the place and one of you move in. You can start making your registry and hopefully it will be less stressful

All of your comments are so encouraging! Thank you for the support! Sometimes I feel like the only person who has done this, and its nice to hear that many of you are also doing the same!

In this day and age, there's a stigma that comes along with living with your parents (both FH and myself) until you get married. I think that it is becoming more and more common for people to do this (our economy, and society just isn't the same as it used to be!) and I'm really excited to hear that its been a great decision for others!

We did something very similar! DH and I chose and signed a lease for our apartment 2 months before our wedding. DH moved in, and I stayed living with my parents.

I understand the stigma behind that, I got a lot of flack on here about it. I was told that we would fight about everything and hate each other while we learned to live together...

We've done fine so far (almost a year!).

@Hannah B I just had the same conversation with FH. I'm afraid that we won't find the house before the wedding and I don't really know what I need as a first time mover... He keeps saying it's gonna be okay.

My dear wife and I waited and are so glad we did. A decade and counting!

I didn't do this but I don't think you should be too discouraged by not knowing what to register for. You should have a pretty good idea of what you are getting (look at a few area apartments and get an idea). If you're moving into a complex, everything should be pretty neutral, so that shouldn't be a big deal. I have a friend who is buying a house after the wedding and has no clue, so she just got everything in neutral colors.

Good luck!

@PrettyBride2017, my FH says that too! He's so reassuring but I'm over here busy planning and scheming haha! The men always have a cool, calm, and collected approach!

@Hannah B So true I was making list of important things that we must have and I ask him for idea all he can remember was TV. He even tell me it's too early to start shopping for household items...

I'll just but neutral color for everything. Good luck

I'm doing the same things! Things will be so excited when you both get to call the same place home!
