Med school & wedding

I would plan everything up until the final few months before the wedding. Get the main details sorted out and the weekend after the boards seems logical. You’ll be happy the exam is over and done with and you guys can relax and have fun. It can work, I think the best course of action would just be sort out your stuff before the hardcore studying begins because then you don’t want to get distracted with wedding prep and studying for the Step. I think that’s the only hard thing I found personally. But what I had done was just did my bit and helped my hubby get his stuff in order and everyone sort of handled the rest like food, venue decor, etc. I just made sure we had our clothes sorted out, the makeup, cake and stuff like that. Things that I know I wanted to choose and not leave to people was what I handled and then left the rest of the stuff to my mom and MIL. You should be fine though, it’s not impossible and I’m sure you guys will get the couples match

Try to enjoy it as well, as I found with my own wedding that the time just flew so fast.

Yeah my plan iA is to go to Pak in Dec and get clothes/shopping done. I’m gonna hit the books hard for boards in Jan when I get back. From Jan - after my boards in June, I’m gonna leave the details to my parents/wedding planner. I already know who I want to book for makeup I think, cake (my parents can handle), even venues I can leave upto them since they’re paying (I have a list of places I like but they’re gonna have to look at stuff themselves). I guess it’s a blessing and a curse that I don’t live anywhere remotely close to my parents for school; it’s an 6 hour flight so I’m gonna be mostly removed from the planning minus phone calls/sending pics/etc.

The perk with this way is that we can do a walima and a honeymoon and be rested by the time rotations start vs the other option which would leave me exhausted and tired for the first day of rotations.
