While my husband and I were planning our wedding, we were also building a our first home. We signed on the dotted line in February, then got married and closed on the house in October. It was such a long process, but well worth it. Choosing to get married and buying your first home are two of the largest and most important decisions of someone's life and having them both happen at the same time was beyond stressful.
We found a great neighborhood with tree-lined streets that was very family friendly. It was close to work and the price was right so although we were apprehensive about building while planning a wedding, we couldn't pass it up. Plus, the opportunity to select some of the finishes was a huge bonus, though it did come at a price. That was the hardest part for me, deciding what we wanted to do vs. what we could afford. We put most of our upgrade budget into the kitchen and had to forgo on some other features like upgrading the tile in the master bath. Here are a few pictures of our house during the process and what it looks like now.
