hello there....I'm probably going to get married next year. It will be right after starting pharmacy school, but will the financial aid and the loans I'm getting cover all of the living expenses for me and my future wife. ami making the right choice of getting married and start pharm. school, or shoud I just wait till the 2 or 3 year of pharmacy school.

I married my husband about six months before school started and haven't had any issues.

First how will marriage affect the amount of loans you can receive? What sort of income is your future wife earning? Before you get married you'll definitely want to run this past financial aid so that you can be prepared financially.

Second, what sort of wedding are you two planning to have? How much money will it cost? We went for a pretty affordable Vegas wedding since I didn't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money which I'd rather have go towards tuition. Also having sat next to someone who was planning a largish/fancy wedding it added a lot to her stress level during the school year.

Best of luck!

A lot of people get married right before pharmacy school and even more get married while in school. Pharmacy is a career but love is forever, so do what you feel is right. =)

I'm getting married in February 09, and am hopefully admitted to pharm school for the fall of 09 semester. My fiance and I are doing it traditionally (not living together before we're married), so getting married will just be easier so we can live together, plus I won't have to worry about planning a wedding while I'm already in school. Right now things are pretty crazy as it is finishing my pre-reqs at community college while planning a wedding (mostly her though, which is good.) I'm getting married while I'm in my spring semester though, so I'm going to have to do some serious make-up labs for those 2 weeks I'm missing, lol. Whatever, I know it's all going to work out, and I'd do anything to be with my girl forever ::end of cheesyness::

In short, I don't think you're crazy. So many couples live together in grad school and professional school; the schools are more than prepared to accommodate you.

Actually, I would have to disagree. Diamonds aren't forever within time they will turn into graphite especially under extreme temperatures.

It's debatable, some people would say that being married would be a distraction.

But, if you're married, you have no reason to be going out clubbing and could probably concentrate better.

Well first of all congrats 😀

I honestly don't know what to say, it might be a distraction and it might help you concentrate, who knows 😕

And Lurkerkat brought up a very good point of how it will affect your loans.

My boyfriend and I are always being asked when we're going to get married as well. We've talked about it, but I personally want to wait until I get into a pharmacy school and graduate! My career is just more important to me right now. He totally understands that because he is also focusing on his career right now. So we're waiting.

You are probably not going to like what I write but you already feel this or you would not have posted. Don't get married until after school. This will be the ultimate test.

My wife and I were married before she went to Iraq and her Vetmed school experience was 10x harder. I am not saying don't get married but just wait until school is complete. A lot of things change when you get hitched you will start farting and she will start burping and yelling etc... but the point is you both change and it is stressful.

People may say oh I did it and we are happy but there are exceptions. In reality if they were happly unmarried things would have been a ton easier. Just relax and use this time as a good test and four years from now you will be that much more mature and if you both accept the change then do the damn thing.

Good Luck and enjoy that love to the fulliest but DONT get married.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Without knowing your exact financial situation, it is hard to say if you will get enough financial aid. However, I am on my second time going to school while married and with a small child. I have always gotten enough financial aid, even though my husband works while I'm in school. Granted, we aren't exactly living the high life or anything.

If your wife is planning to stay home, things might be a little bit tighter financially but I know people have done it before. Everyone's relationship is different, but I personally have loved being married while I've gone to school. Sometimes it can be stressful for the relationship, but you also have a built-in-support system and someone to help out with household chores, bill-paying, etc.

diamonds are made of carbon I think, forgot; actually cubic zirconia shines better🙂

I got married two months before I started pharmacy school, it was the best decision I ever made.

if I were single/fiance lived elsewhere, I would probably not do as well as I am not a structured person and she is. So it's different for everyone, but it was/is great for me
