Hello, I have a question regarding getting married during MS4 year. Most of the questions I've seen regarding this are more applicable to people doing couple's match, or getting married to another medical student/doctor and wanting to stay at the same hospital, but if my question is redundant, I apologize for not searching for the correct threads on here!
My fiance and I are planning on getting married sometime during 4th year. I know some of what goes on as far as scheduling 4th year, but everything since I've only just recently started my 3rd year rotations. We are considering either August/September of 2019, or spring after match (April, May) of 2020. We like the idea of a late summer/fall wedding, but I know that may be a busy time with AIs, ERAS, etc. Does anyone have an experience/opinions about how feasible a wedding during that time period is? Also, would being married before interviews start have any influence on residency match? (As in, if I want to stay in the same city where I'm at, will the residency programs care that my non-medical spouse has a job in that city?)
If late summer/fall of 4th year is likely to be very complicated or stressful, we'll probably just get married post-match.
TL;DR when is the best time during 4th year to get married, and does that have any influence on the residency match? Thank you!
