thanks! I'm not sure, we are having trouble picking a date. I want a may wedding, becasue its our anniversary and a beautiful month. But next may i graduate from college and dont want the two back to back. so the following may is an option. but we also like the idea of a fall wedding. i just dont want it to conflict with graduate school. its a big debate between the two. my fiance doesnt really care what day, just not happy about maybe waiting two years for the wedding. me either. we will see. right now we in the mist of picking out a church and reception, so exciting!

We had a similar dilemma. We wanted a fall wedding, but the fall right after we got engaged was the last semester for both of us in college so we didn't want to do it then. And then the fall after that I was starting law school, so we didn't want to do it then either. We ended up planning it for January, 3 weeks after we graduated. It was insane. I def. think you have a good idea of not getting married right after graduation. But it did work out, so if you choose that, then I'm sure it will be great.

I agree with what Alexis said about Rory. Taking back control of her own life was definitely being true to Rory. I'm really glad that she didn't end up marrying Logan. That would have felt wrong somehow. She's got her whole life ahead of her. (And, as I like to imagine, her whole life to re-unite with Jess ) Me too! Congratulations tahlia!!!

If putting off grad school won't negatively affect your life, I think that's fine. It's just a few months of putting it off. I know that I'll be married to Nick before I get my masters from school. After graduating and starting to teach I have I think 5 years to get my masters, so it's in no hurry. Also, sometimes employers pay partly for school so if that happens, a job before going back to school would be a help.

I guess it depends how big a wedding it's going to be. I planned my wedding long-distance while working full-time and completing my Master's degree and although it wasn't always easy, it's not like it kept me busy 24/7. But if you think you wouldn't be able to concentrate on school with the wedding coming up, then taking a few months off before starting grad school sounds like a good idea

I planned mine during my last semester in undergrad while I was trying to apply to law schools. It was crazy. I think a semester off is a good idea even if you weren't planning a wedding. I graduated in December and went back to school that September and I was glad for the few extra months (instead of graduating in May and starting in September). As long as you're ok with it - that's all that matter.

thanks girls for ur advice! i give you all alot of credit for planning your wedding during school/work. I think i can handle it, but i dont want to enjoy the process without taking away anything form the experience. alos, if i get married right after i graduate (in may like orginally planned) i wont fully enjoy my graduation, i'd focus more on the wedding. my graduation is not something im willing to comprimise on. lol. I think i will enjoy the extra months off before grad school. i just dont like the notion of allowing my wedding to come from. my school and landing a great job is far more important to me. Jefie, i didnt even think that my job could possiably help pay for grad school. good point, i will have to look into that. You all made me smile and feel more confident! thanks!
