getting legally married few months before ceremony

Bennett, I'm at Fort Belvoir. Mission Installation Contracting Command - MICC. I'm a Contracting Officer. I actually was a huge part of awarding the Air Force Microsoft contract. Y'know that computer you work on every day? You have Windows, Outlook, and Office, thanks to me :-). You're welcome. I loved working with the AF. Might make it my home someday.

I think I'm being catty but I'd like to see Sunshine and Jackie start a discussion saying how lame or that people are lying, but I suggest you ladies do it in the vein of pregnancy...oooohwee...

sometimes it's good to give an opinion but it's ALWAYS good to maintain respect for the person you're giving the opinion to and not accuse or insult them

Lol :-P I'm on my couch thank you very much! And I spent all day at my daughters dance competition so there! I go to work when I want and still get my paycheck every 1st and 15th lol.

Naw but baby's good. I'm the miserable one. He's growing ahead while my body is slowly withering away leaving no room to eat (when I try), sit, or breathe lol. 2 more months!

I completely agree with Sunshine. Do not hide this or lie to your guests about the fact that you're already married. They will not actually be witnessing your marriage since you'll already be married.

That's the EXACT reason we got married. The D Word.

Deployment creeps up on us way too often. We couldn't wait one more second to be husband & wife.

Oh, my renewal dress is poofy as all hell.

OH Wow! I lived in Woodbridge and commuted back and forth to the State Department before I moved to Texas! LOVE the area! And THANK YOU for my microsoft office suite! Yay!!!

Bennett I thought you would have a selfie for that comment!

Bennett you lost me on your last comment. I'm gonna blame the pregnancy brain.

But you did it the right way Mrs.Newvine. I suck. Then again what you do at 18 shouldn't count in life lol.

@Emily, you'd be singing a different song if YOUR situation dictated pre-ceremony marriage. She may be in a tough spot with telling her family...give her constructive advice that will help her rather than saying she's lying and hiding...

Hmm what would you tell the person who has cancer and wants to do pre-ceremony marriage (rhetorical)

Which one CNN? Might have been the one for Karen where I was talking about Woodbridge...

Oh CNN you're talking about my 'suggestion' comment? meaning suggest they start a discussion about getting pregnant before marriage and folks who want to wait till after they've gotten married to say they are preggers...would make for a very BAD discussion to call them lame or liars...

my whole point being on this forum sometimes opinions go too far with accusations and/or insults...

I can tell you that no one gives a crap whether you've done a short, legal, 'sign and drive' before hand, and if they do? Screw them.

There is no 'right way' any more.

@Celia! Right on!

BTW, where can I find a pre-ceremony drive-thru?

Ah ha I get you. I wonder if people would figure out I'm getting married cause I'm pregnant? Two kids later... Lol

Vegas!!

Or maybe I can hide the kids till after we get married... Hmmm...

Hmmm, it depends CNN...are you wearing spanx while preggers? LOL!

CNN! LOL!!!!!

The thought of wearing spanx makes me want to cry. I swear I can't wear a tshirt. I try to spend my whole day naked. Hell I take my clothes off in the car lol.
