Getting a place of our own
Friends and relatives alike, who knew of our plan to settle down come October, have been quite curious as to our living arrangements after the wedding day. I have even heard suggestions that before the actual wedding date, we should already get a place of our own to make the transition easy. I don’t know about that, knowing how conservative our society is, which is also the same with my parents, but I think living together without the blessing of marriage wouldn’t suit well with them.
But speaking of practicality, I think that suggestion also makes sense especially considering that after the euphoria (is that the right term? lol) of the actual wedding date has passed, we would still find ourselves dealing with the actual fact of deciding where to set up a place of our own right? Well, that is just my take on the matter as I don’t have any experience at it yet..hahaha. I guess it will be an on-the-job training for us.
Eventually, I know we will be getting our own place permanently. I guess now would be the right time to check out some mortgage lenders to hopefully be able to source out funding for this project which we will be undertaking, with God’s grace, together.

I would suggest bai to get a place of your own before the wedding even though both of you wont live under that roof until after the wedding. If you have that luxury, work the mortgage out and buy the place a few weeks before. It can serve as a guest house for the relatives that are coming over.
The first few months would be the happiest as well as the most stressful so having a place of your own would really ease that. And what’s more exciting than having the whole house to yourself?
Well, I guess coming from the “experience” it would be best to stick with the “conservative” because either way, if you really plan to settle down, it would not give you any difference because you will still get to know each other by the time the two of you moved in together after the wedding. But it is also best that you scout for a nice place to live in, the surrounding also gives a big factor to the relationship, if your surrounding is relaxed then both of you will always have a sound mind for decisions. Hey, sorry for being too slow in putting up my site again. I moved in with Dhadha.
I agree with Rhys. Since you have the luxury of money (hahaha…dili time kundi money), you can afford to get one. That’s what I want even before but until now wala pa jud na-materialize.
