Poll: KU'd or Not
Gotta love DH and his cw stories. Here's the latest from one:
CW's son is going to be a senior in college this fall and was recently engaged to one and only girlfriend. Both go to Libery University here in VA (Jerry Falwell college). They had initially planned to marry in May 2012 after graduation. Now they are getting married this August.
First words out of my mouth were "She's pregnant." DH said everyone at work said the same thing. CW claims it's b/c son is doing some sort of dual degree and they will be moving closer to Roanoke off campus, blah blah blah.

Re: Poll: KU'd or Not
It all sounds so fishy, esp b/c the son for the last 2 years has been an RA b/c school is 100% loans and he didn't want to take out more than needed.
Plus cw doesn't even know the name of the grad school, all he said was it has george in it and it's somewhere in Roanoke/Lynchburg. Google hasn't found a thing.

I voted KU'd because of this. It just sounds too fishy.
He could be thinking Washington and Lee (about 50 or 60 miles from each of those cities) and having "George Washington" in his head.
Yeah, I know W&L is in Lexington, which isn't too far. Who knows, he wants to study seminary for his masters.

Just because of the months involved, my first thought was that it could be because of wedding costs. I've seen so many friends initially set a May/June/July to wait until after graduation... until they see the costs associated with doing a wedding in those months. I've been in three weddings that were originally planned for after we all graduated, but then everyone decided to bump them up to the months right before Senior year started. Wedding were cheaper during that time of the month AND all the madness of planning was over before the semester started.
Not saying that's what happening here, just that I don't think it's too uncommon.

I can't imagine what it would have been like if I had been married my senior year (let alone planning it while in my junior year). But I guess that's because we were 4 hours apart and he wouldn't have moved down there for just the last year.
I did have anyone that I knew get married until after college. For the few that did get married after college, it was the summer after.
I told DH to have his CW throw an engagement bbq and keep offering the fiance alcohol and see what happens. I'm nosy/mean like that.

I was in my senior year when we got married - the only weird thing was getting used to my new last name when I changed it during winter break. Professors would call it for roll and I wouldn't respond, haha.
What's even more crazy is my SIL's situation. They planned their wedding during their senior year, got married in June (just realized their anniversary is tomorrow!) and then she stayed in Ohio to do a year long Masters program while he went to Houston for a job offer that he just couldn't turn down. He built their house and everything while she was still in Ohio. She didn't move down until after graduation a year later.
