The Great Debate



J and I managed to get into an argument about or so-not-happening-anytime-soon wedding. Do we buy a house first or get married first?

J says we save money for a down payment and then we try to scrounge up enough money to pay for the wedding he envisions (300+ people, out of town guests from Ireland, fancy schmancy reception hall that charges a RIDICULOUS amount).

I say we save money for the wedding (smaller than he wants, but still wonderful) and then take any gift money we get to use as a down payment. There is no way to know if we will get enough money, let alone any money, as gifts, but I don't see us being able to afford both a house and a wedding on our own.

Ugh. An easy Vegas wedding is sounding better and better every day.

Any advice?

xoxo,
J
