Wedding before baby is born or after?

Aww nicci, she wasn't saying all, just 50 percent. You and your FS are rare, so keep it up. I do believe that real reality that many people who has kids before marriage do not get married, I am not saying all :-p. I like JOP idea as well.

Congratulation on your new little bundle - let us know what you decide.

And listen to Mom N :-)

Just to clarify Megan I didn't say she said ALL.

Lol just giving you a hard time like always :-p

I just thought it would be refreshing and possibly beneficial for the OP to hear a DIFFERENT side of the story

Oh I agree. It is good to hear both positive and negative experiences from people who went through same thing.

FH and I had our baby before the wedding and I wouldn't have had it any other way. She's now a little over a year now and will be the FG in our wedding. That first year goes by so fast! Plus, we never have a shortage of sitters!

Oh I'm with camo bride..I'm so pumped to have my daughter as our fg. I know Ana (another bride on here) is in the same boat as me..had a baby before getting married..and lasted..and I do believe her daughter Chloe is the fg. :-)

For me, I would like the idea of a small intimate wedding. Not too long of a reception party, since I know I will be tired. But I would really love to be married first.

....And I had never dreamed of a big, all out wedding extravaganza....But I have always lusted after wedding dresses, special cakes, and the romanticism of the vows. ;p

.

I got the semi big wedding of our parents' dreams, cake, dress, vows but just ttc'ing now and it is much more difficult than I had anticipated. ;p

This mom agrees with other mom!!! and it makes everyone happy!

Being someone with a little one I would have it before baby is here... you get to enjoy honeymoon without extra person to stress about other then eating healthy and not doing anything to harm the pregnancy. Im getting married next year and hoping my parents will let me go on a honeymoon without my daughter. if not I would have to find a kid friendly place for a honeymoon! I liked danielles statistics. and I would completely agree. My daughters father and I didnt work out after she was born and I'm sure we would have made more of an effort if we were married before hand. also trying to come up with finances with a extra mouth to feed is hard. yes you need to save $ for baby but you will always end up putting it off if you do it when lil one is here. just my thoughts

For me the only downside for waiting until the baby is born is that (if you keep the wedding date as is) baby will be so little and need a lot of momma's attention, I just hope it wouldn't detract from your "wedding" experience or from the attention baby would get. Either way you can make it work. Plus, even though you can't let loose and have a drink on the honeymoon, it would also mean a honeymoon not worrying about taking care of baby... but again, each choice has it's special things about it

You were planning on getting married already. You now have a wrinkle in your plans because of the coming baby. Do you really want to be stressed out, planning for a child and planning a wedding?

At this point, waiting or moving ahead doesn't change anything. You love your FS, you love your coming child. A piece of paper isn't going to change that.

I'd suggest waiting until the child is old enough to be able to leave with family during your honeymoon, you can plan the wedding over time and focus on getting ready for the baby and continuing to strengthen your relationship with your FS.
