Bringing your stuff...
Actually, I AM married to an American and we did a combination of storing and bringing. We are in company accommodation and took the cash. We took our time and bought the stuff we wanted- even designing some of our stuff and having it built- and are very happy with it.
At the appropriate time we stuffed a 20 foot container and brought it over.
We wondered about some couples who spent a fortune on furnishing their houses in a day with tacky crap that they didn't really like, then had to pay the interest on their credit cards for months.
There is no rush.
