Moving out of State after Wedding

I’m moving to florida after our October wedding but my FH already lives there. He currently has a room mate so we will begin looking for an apartment next month for us.

I recently moved from GA to OH after getting engaged. I recommend having a job lined up if possible. If not, make sure you're financially stable for at least 3-6 months or if your combine finance isn't strong yet.

Starting in a new place, it's a struggle and you'll have good and bad days. I recommend looking for a place to live before moving. With my current apartment, they go off what your credit score is and how much you are currently making even if you're not living in that state yet. As for when to start, ASAP. You'll want to go visit the area(s) and see how it is (online doesn't do justice).

Most jobs are understanding that you're making a life change/move. They'll understand if you need a week or so to readjust before starting a new job.

I wish you the best of luck!

I would look for a job first and then a place to live. Apartments will want proof of income and you’ll want to pick a place that’s a reasonable driving distance from your job.

That makes perfect sense. Thank you!

This is a similar issue we are facing right now. FH and I want to move to North Carolina after the wedding, and were struggling with planning the honeymoon around that. We don’t have a place down there yet, but I will probably transfer to another store down there and he may be able to do the same. We don’t know if we want to go on a honeymoon for two weeks and come home and then move, or move go on honeymoon and have a fresh start. It gives me tremendous anxiety just thinking about it. You’re not alone girl! Best of luck

I’m moving to Maryland before my wedding from New York. Haven’t started looking for a job yet but I really need to start

I'd suggest moving first, and going on your honeymoon maybe three weeks or a month later. Who would want to come home from a honeymoon and have to move or unpack boxes? You'll need another vacation after that!
