[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is grad school an impediment to getting married?  It's a lot easier to get married while in school than when you're working.  [b]Summers off, holidays off, no big deal to miss some class.  [/b]

If i were your parents or friends, i'd assume you were punting on getting married. Sorry. [/quote]
Pretty sure you didn't attend grad school. [/quote]

+1 I did my MBA and it would have been much much much easier to have a wedding after graduation (or before entering the program). Every weekend and hour and holiday was busy or spent traveling with classmates![/quote]

You pretty much made my point.  MBAs are fun class trips and such.  They are notoriously easier than JDs and MBAs.  To the previous poster who said "pretty sure you didn't attend grad school," I did - i went to a top 10 law school, got engaged, planned a wedding and got married six months later.  And graduated top of my class with an excellent job. and maintained a busy social life.  So yeah, i think i understand grad school.  You treat it like a full time job during the semester (9-6 every day), cram for 2 weeks during exams, and then summer and holidays are a breeze.  I don't understand why OP wouldn't want to take advantage of her fiance's summers off to get married.  It's super common for people to set their summer job end date 2 weeks before school starts - for vacations or going home to visit family.  Get married then.  Way easier than once he's working on wall street 18 hours a day and his boss won't approve him for vacation days. [/quote]
