Cost of weddings

Re: Cost of weddings

Getting married when you have a student visa, probably no but when you have a work visa yes. After all you are working and are able to provide for your family. However, it gets difficult for the spouses to find work. First, there are biological clocks to tend too as well and having kids is important especially when you can’t work in the meantime. Getting degrees is good but good luck without the North American experience. I am getting my second masters degree but I am too old for entry level and my outside North America experience doesn’t count either.

Eastern, I quite agree with you about the bit about becoming unemployable about being out of the job market for quite a bit. I know a couple of ladies who are having issues finding a job after taking a few years time off to be stay at home mums. Taking an extended time off from work quite affects your future job prospects, especially in certain fields.

However, wouldn’t a better solution to the highlighted portion above be to only get married when one is settled down and financially stable as to avoid complications? Personally, I’ve never understood how people can be comfortable getting married and bringing another person into the equation when they are in a precarious situation themselves, such as when they are still students or have work visas.
