none! for I am perfect, obviously.
I'm kidding: I don't have pre wedding goals, I have general goals but they have absolutely nothing to do with when I get married. I would like to finish my education but that has no impact or bearing on when I'll be married.
The wedding wasnt so much of a life changer for me since we already lived together for a year. There was nothing I felt I wanted to accomplish pre-wedding that I can't do post wedding. Baby? Now thats a restrictive life changer. Pre-baby, there's a ton of travel I still want to do.
@pinkshoes: I guess I meant goals that, after having achieved them, I would feel like I was bringing my best self to our marriage. I don't feel like marriage is going to be restrictive or anything.
@vmec: Holy frak! No way - you're perfect too? Small world 
I'd like to move. Mister works from home, and uses a desktop computer and my cramped apartment hardly has room for my desk, let alone for another desk for him. So if it doesn't happen pre-wedding, it will happen within a few months after.
And I need to free myself from addiction. I have denied it for years, but I had blood work done recently. My doctor called to tell me I was outted! I tested positive - for gummy worms. My Mister won't be pleased when he finds this out - especially because it could be contagious!!
Pre-wedding:
Uhoh I need to move back my wedding if I am going to get all this done 
@secondchances: What kind of new, lifelong eating habits do you want to develop?
I need to get my pets under control. His dog and my dogs and cats do NOT get along Thats all i have pre wedding but for me, improving mself is ongoing and everchanging. i spent years imroving myself to get me ready to be in a relationship.
biggest goal is to lose 10-15 pounds. i know that sounds dumb, but it's really important to me.
@ellykay: It doesn't sound dumb! I'm sure a majority of other brides are in that boat with you.
Before my wedding I would like to move back to the east coast, have earned or be in the process of earning my masters, and be in the best shape of my life!
I want to sell our one bedroom apartment that came with me into the relationship and move into something bigger that feels more like ours.
@florence: Hmm how to put this into words.... I need to stop eating the foods that I am even mildly allergic to so I stay healthier. That means giving up cabbage, brussellsprouts, wheat, cauliflower, dairy. Then I need to eat the right foods in combination to promote healing. I also need to eat alot more protien then I currently do. I also need to eat more then once a day or so. I have wonky eating habits lol. My plan is to get back to clean eating: no additives, no chemicals, no refined products and to eat every 3 hours. I feel a lot better when I eat right. Sort of a cross between the six week total body makeover/clean eating diet.
I feel like this is a list that gets longer every time I even think of it!
Staying on top of schoolwork so I can graduate this winter and weeding through my things before the move are two of my big ones.
Good luck everyone!
My two pre-wedding goals:
1. Finish my accountancy studies
2. Get a job with good career prospects
3. Pay off more of my student loans so as to start married life with less debt
ooh-kay. I have a few. I'm overwhelmed with them, but I have to do it.
1. Start studying for the GRE so I can go back to school soon after I get married.
2. Redecorate our loft area.
3. Our kitchen is being remodeled a few months before the wedding, so my goal is to survive that and go through all our old kitchen stuff and replace old, worn out, with new.
4. Keep on my exercise routine.
5. Organize all the photo albums, etc. that my FI's family gave him so we are not drowining in albums. And catch up on my own scrapbooking.
I dont know why I think I will get this stuff done. I'm crazy.
@secondchances: Sounds like a good plan! I'm sure you will feel like your body totally transforms after you make those changes.
FI and I would like to become vegan before getting married I think. Or at least be on the path towards that.
I have a few goals...
1. Finish packing my apartment this month in preparation to move in w/ family to save money for a house
2. Save Money for home
3. Finish Paralega courses
4. LOSE WEIGHT!
My main goals are:
Find a job - I'm finishing grad school classes in December and need a job/internship so I graduate in June. Ideally I'll find a decent paying job. Because no job = no honeymoon - and after grad school, wedding planning and everything I NEED a honeymoon.
Loose weight. Already been working on this one, so I just need to keep on the right path.
*I'd like to lose weight! Idealy i'd like to get to my old (high school weight) 125. I currently weight 140. At one point I was at 152. I'm getting there slowly but surely.
*I'd also like to figure out what career change would be the best for me to pursue (That way I can start going back to school again after the wedding). I'm currently substitute teaching and I have yet to really use my teaching credential since graduating in 09.
I have a couple years, so basically:
1. Get my BA
2. Start Grad school
3. Have a successful MK business
4. Have my mental health issues under control
5. My fiancé is working on a license to further his business, so that too
6. Save up some money!
The biggest one for me is getting rid of my debt (CC, car loan, student loans). If I paid the minimum it would be like 10 years before it was paid off! But SO just moved in and is handling a lot more of the finances than I am at this point so I can put most of my income towards the debt. I should be debt free in only a year.
Also, like many brides, I want to lose weight. I guess I really just want better life habits that go along with maintaining a healthy weight (eating right, exercising regularly, etc.). I'm working on it!

I've been thinking about this a lot lately and it feels like there are a lot of things, big and small, that I feel I need to achieve before the wedding. For instance (and please don't laugh), I'd like to get my driver's license. I'd also like to become a better cook - not because of weird gender role issues but just because it's something I enjoy but could learn more about.
What were/are your major or minor personal goals pre-wedding?
