Myself and fianc! are looking to buy a house this year. We also need to get a loan to pay for our wedding. Should we do this before we apply for the mortgage or after?

    A loan after the mortgage.

    How much for a loan ?

    Why can you not save up for the wedding ?

    Loan for a wedding? Why? Can't afford it, save. A nice wedding is not an essential

    What do you value more?
    Borrowing for one day of your life is stupid in my opinion. It doesn’t cost that much to get married.

    Is it essential for a extravagant wedding? can it not be delayed?? I know people who just registered at the registrars office and had a honeymoon sometime after, save some money too.

    Have a read of this, it pretty much covers what everyone will say (and they're right):
