Debt to income is a little high due to student loans but drastically improving annually.Paid for our own wedding and honey moon in 2010 delaying extra progress on other debts for a year or so. 

I applaud your efforts to teach your daughter the basics of FINANCE.My youngest daughter (& RE investor) was recently in a wedding party where the groom (PharmD) belatedly discovered his bride (MBA) had >$45k in student loans.

I have a wedding to be at that weekend in Chicago :(

The only nervousness i had going into this was the fact that we are paying for our wedding thats in Sept, and renovations to our first apt.

"However when (insert protected class) had a mouse urinate on her wedding dress stored in the basement you didn't pay to have it professionally cleaned".Just my 2 cents and good luck on whatever you decide.

We were married on Sanibel Island and we're lucky enough to to have our wedding filmed as part of the official Sanibel Island music video with our appearance first @ 4:12 into the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?

My wife and I are wedding photographers and you would be shocked to hear how many leaders in our industry are basically telling people "The most important thing is to start booking clients.

Joe, it is true you can't pay for pizza:) but for some investors it's about building passive income to retire on, pay for kids college/wedding... our market has gone up 26% in the last 12 months, predicted to go up another 20% in the next 12...  

@Greg Moritz did you accompany the inspector on Wed.? 

Having said that, my fiancé and I are getting married in May and I was planning on saving money through the winter and getting started investing after my wedding in the spring.
