    I would second the thought to buy a house.. small wedding big downpayment.. the market is great in the are ainterest rates are low and for 2k a month you can get almost 200k of house.. you will probably be a half hour away but if you will end up with equity and soem cash when you move up rather than some ikea furniture and a moving bill..

    The salaries are good . if you take home 3500-4k a month you would be able to afford the area on one salary. Its very doable. you will have to drive wherever you end up so there is not much difference between 15 minutes and 30 minutes.. depending on when you leave it could always take 30 minutes ..

    if you are adventurous .. look in Friendship in D.C above Adams Morgan. Try U street for some bargains close to Florida ave.

    In Mclean try going out a bit on Glebe Road .. you might also consider going out Resevpoir Road towards Mcarthur Blvd above Canal .. parallel to teh virgina border going away from Georgetown.. doesnt sound like there would be but look and you might be pleasantly surprised .. there is a little neighborhood at Canal and Arizona along the river.. try Dorsett Place.. hope that helps find soem cool plaaces to live in the area.. if you need more email me ... I know the area fairly well.
