While the number of people who cohabit before marriage continues to grow, it seems that for many UK couples, wedding trumps mortgage. Whether you and your betrothed are yet to get a foot on the property ladder or you’ve been putting off those expensive home renovations, the post-wedding period is the ideal time to get serious about creating your very own love nest. From the bigger decisions like what to use each room for, down to which taps to choose for the bathroom, be sure to appreciate every aspect of building a life together.
Expanding the family

If you’ve been looking forward to expanding your family, the months after your wedding will be the perfect time to start thinking about what this looks like for both of you. Whether you’re keen to have children or can’t wait to rehome a rescue dog, this is the time to get excited about planning what’s next for your family. From pets to babies, adding to your family can be a huge commitment, so be sure to openly discuss your thoughts and feelings about this with your other half before you make any life-changing decisions.
