After the engagement, many couples face the situation of whether to have a longer engagement and save up for the wedding they want or attempt to finance the wedding quickly and rush to the alter. Maybe rush isn't quite the right word, however there are definitely debates both ways. I'm with the wait gang though.
One of the main reasons toward waiting is debt. Starting off a marriage might already bring its own debt whether it be a car payment, mortgage or student loans. Why go into even more credit card debt by spending too much too fast? Waiting and not going into this debt also will strengthen your marriage and help at least eliminate some of the negative finance talks.
Another reason toward waiting may be that you had a fairly short relationship prior to the engagement. Waiting for a bit encourages you to develop as a couple and gives you a chance to really make sure this is the road you want to go down. Living with someone or realizing this is the person you'll be with forever helps solidify reasons for marriage. That way you don't go to the alter with any doubts. It's also much easier to end a relationship or engagement versus a marriage.
