So my fiancé and I have been contemplating getting married before our wedding. He falls of his parents insurance in July of this summer, in order to be put on my insurance we must be married. So we were thinking of just going to the courthouse and tying the not and only letting immediate family know that we are married. However, we still want to have our wedding in 2 1/2 years with the ceremony and reception. Should we still exchange rings during the ceremony even though we will both have our wedding bands? Should we wait the 2 1/2 years to exchange rings? Is this even a good idea? I don't care what way we get married haha but my fiancé has a heart defibrillator and we really cant have a gap in his medical insurance if something were to go wrong. His insurance through work is out of the question due to it being total poop, and its more affordable to just put him on my plan than to have him go through a private insurance company. Whats your opinion on my situation? What would you do?
