    Miss D'Orsay's post got me wondering...

    How many of you are planning big moves after the wedding? My fiancee and I are, only because we feel like this is the only time to do it (before we settle into a home that we own and having children, because after that we know we never will).

    Anybody else out there leaving there old town behind for a new one together?

    Well, I am moving to Philadelphia from Rhode Island since we have been long distance all along. Does that count?

    I feel for you ES.  I moved from NY state to Colorado, right after my honeymoon.  That's a lot going on in little time.  But you'll make it.

    Yes!  The thing is...because we're applying to graduate school, we don't know where we're moving yet!  Hopefully we find out where we'll be going soon...

    I am applying to grad school also! We are CA babies, but I am only applying to east coast schools. pretty scary, but i know if we don't move now, we'll never do it. I keep reminding myself that grad school is only 2 years... so we're moving a whole house + a cat! eek!

    I am moving to CA the day after we get back from our honeymoon!  It's going to be crazy, but my parents are planning to drive out to CA from Chicago two weeks later and bring the rest of my stuff!

    I'm moving to St. Petersburg, FL from Tampa. It's just 30 minutes away, but it's a big move for me since we just bought a house together in November. And it's a different county, does that count? It's been really hectic juggling all of the house renovations and planning the wedding (less than 3 weeks away!) But really fun too :) I've been bouncing between both places for 6 weeks, and it seems I never have the article of clothing or shoes I need at the right house. RAAR. We'll be settled soon....I can't imagine moving states (or countries!) right now for sure.

    I'm moving from Virginia to Colorado- my fiance is stationed in Texas and will move to Colorado before the wedding. I'll follow him from my home in Virginia after the wedding. He hasn't gotten orders yet, so even that is not "official." Unfortunately nothing is in the Army. Crazy to plan a wedding, honeymoon, and also pack up your whole life and move into a new one!

    We are thinking about moving not because we need to...we just want to.

    I would like to do it right after the wedding (in April) but I've only been at my current job for a year (and my job before I was only there for a year) and I worry it will look bad, job-wise. The problem is, once I get an idea in my head I can't wait to do it!

    McRae    6/6/09   Greenville, SC/getting married in Amelia Island, FL

    We are both originally from Greenville, SC and we are moving to Charleston, SC after our wedding in June. My fiance already has a job there and commutes back and forth for now (3 1/2 hours). The tricky part is that his house has not sold here, so we need that to happen before buying one down there. I also need to find a job - all while planning the wedding! Overload!!

    Like LatteLove, I'm moving the day after we get back from our honeymoon. We've been living 400 miles apart from each other for the last 2 years. Big change from living 5 miles apart for the first 3 years!!! He moved for a job, while I was stuck finishing school.  So, it's not like we're moving to a new place together--he's already established in TN.  But it will be a whole new experience for us, and a huge change for me.

    We both have apartments (in the same town) but want to move into a house in a new town after the wedding.  I will be finished with graduate school in May and looking for a job, so we are holding off house hunting until we know where that will be. Luckily there are tons of possiblities for me and my fiance is completely loving the idea of a new job.  Ideally, I'd like to be pretty much settled before the wedding, but I'm not sure what the chances of that happening are!

    The Mr. and I are getting married in July and are hoping to get a place in June. It will be close to where he is now- since he will have another year of grad school. HOWEVER, the following year he hopes to go to med school. That might mean moving away from my family, friends, and "center" for the first time since college. Scary!!! But, the thing that calms me is knowing I am marrying my best friend and with him, I feel at ease.

    How is everyone handling the logistics of the move? Are you moving your stuff before the wedding? Are you waiting until after the wedding or even after the honeymoon? And how are you doing it-- with pods, u-hauls, etc? Every time I think about moving across the country I cringe.

    We're moving from Sydney to Boston. We'll probably have to sell mostly everything and start over when we get there. Other stuff that must come with us - no idea, slow shipping maybe?

    We are moving after the wedding but don't yet know where either!!  It all depends on the new hubby's work situation, so it should be an adventure!

    Almost up to our 1 year anniversary, the hubs and I packed our life and moved from Los Angeles to New York.  It can get lonely (for your girlfriends & family) but I really think it brought us closer.  It feels like we're on our honeymoon all the time! =) I really encourage anyone to do so, because these newly wed years can be so special when it's just you two.
