my impression (mostly formed from watching grey's anatomoy & scrubs) is that they wouldn't be flexible for someone just starting. Anyone have real experience? I know there are a couple med students or doctors on the forum.

Well, we won't know who to ask about rearranging his schedule until March, because he won't know which hospital he'll be at. Does that make any sense?

 

Thus the travel insurance seems primo...more money (ugh), but potentially worth every penny. Some of his friends know people who were able to put off their start dates (getting married, it seems, is one of the only viable excuses they take!), but I don't know if he could postpone for as long as two weeks.... That seems as if it might be pushing it.

 

Whee! Elopement, anyone?

I know this probably isn't what you want to hear but what about waiting another year for the wedding? You wouldn't have any problems booking the vendors you want (Matt!), plenty of notice for your guests.."hey guess what, you have another year to save!" and you guys might be a little more settled with his job and be able to plan even more time off without the stress...

 

Or there's always vegas!!

mmmmmm....Vegas. Don't tempt me!!! lol.

 

I have thought about postponing, but we'd still have two problems: 1) scheduling his vacation time will still be difficult, but even more importantly 2) we were scheduling it for June because, since we won't know where we're living and I therefore won't have a job for a little bit (until we get settled), I'll need to leech off his health insurance while I freelance.
