I am surprised why you think newly weds are ready for a home in CA.  

I'm having lunch with someone on Wed who I hope to mentor and will do it for no reason other than to give a hand up.

I’ll go back to look at it closer Wed I think, and maybe counter with 124, 750 earnest money, and no penalty for financing delay, since it wouldn’t be my fault.I believe there will be a few other houses that will be suitable that will come up over the next several months.

(Thus, the lower interest rate will allow you to pay it down quicker overall).Congrats on your wedding, but now it's time to heed (your known?) 

As if planning a destination wedding is not hard enough as it is, can I ask the tenants to move out mid February instead?

In town locations that are walk-able to restaurants and bars (or wedding venues)3.

The house also happens to be right next door to a wedding hall. 

So, I'am off to a wedding in Chicago now while the house is finishing up by the 8th.

We do not have a lot of money and definitely are pinching pennies all the time.We have a wedding coming up and closing on a house at the same time, as well as dealing with our current house’s issues.Some things may seem insurmountable but they are not, it is uncomfortable and you may go to bed worrying but most of the time I am excited.I am excited about expanding my future and the future of those around me.I feel like I have more control over where my life is heading and the financial stability for the future.I always felt uneasy throwing money in a distant account waiting until the twilight years of my life to get at it.
