    For me it's - wearing my wedding band and no longer getting judgy looks from conservative friends/relative (since we already live together!)

    I am most looking forward to the two of us being a family.  Not that we aren't already, but I think it will feel more official after our vows.

    Sharing his name and taking a vow to love and honor...cheesey maybe.  But I truly love this man and can't wait to make it official!

    I was most happy about it being official, that we'd really made this commitment to one another for a life together and not just for a couple years together and to really plan for our future.

    Well, we already live together, we're undecided on whether or not we're having kids, and I'm not changing my name. I think what I'm looking forward to most is just saying our vows together in front of everyone we love, and just making it official.

    Joit checking accounts, knowing it's forever, changing my name.  There are a lot of little day to day things that won't change at all, though, since we already live together.

    Miss Chapstick    September 2009  

    I voted changing my name, haha! I mean, we already lived together, so we knew not much would change after the wedding, so it was excited to finally change my name for a couple of reasons:

    1. I HATED my maiden name. It had negative connotations with me, and it was just a very weird name.

    2. I adore my new name. It like, goes really well with my first name.

    3. Being introduced as Mrs. HisLastName is kind of nice :)

    I love the depth of the commitment we now share.  I love that we took vows of marriage, such a profound statement of respect, stood up and chose each other above all others and promised to share our entire lives with each other.  Yes, you can for sure have commitment without the marriage, but that single act makes it so much deeper in my opinion (and experience!).

    Saying our vows to each other, having more rights in regards to visitation in hospitals, etc, and just in general knowing that we are married. 

    I might be horrible for this, but I find it hilarious when people judge us for living together before marriage. Oooh, we're such bad examples, we have a good relationship and cherish our life together!

    That we get to be together and we're making a commitment to our relationship in front of God and our families.

    Plus babies... :) I'm super nervous about the actual having of the babies but I'm pretty sure their worth it.

    @ lilyfaith:  everyone judged us for purchasing a house before we got engaged!  Everyone said "what happens if you break up?"  Well we could easily break up w/ or w/o a ring on my finger!! 

    Anyways.....we are techinically already married (since August) but it was security knowing I have a fabulous partner in crime to share things with!!

    @MrsJKH2be - at least you're proving them wrong, right? ;) I heard some mutterings about living in sin and not buying cows when the milk was free, but I know our relationship is way more than that (and, well, that ship had sailed long before we moved in together) so it wasn't too hard to laugh off.

    I put starting a family, but I meant it as we will be the new family. We aren't even thinking about kids for at least 5 years. I'm also very happy to take his name.

    In the long term, I am looking forward to starting a family, but that's sooooo far off it's a little weird to get excited about it now. I am already married but I was/am excited by the titles ("This is my husband...") and the fact that it's so, well, legal! I like the fact that he is MINE and the law says so!
