<prompt> Human: My fiance and I are having our wedding in less than 3 months. However, I accepted a job from a new company on Friday and have my last day at my current employer in just under two weeks. At that point my health insurance will terminate.Not only was I able to successfully negotiate a 26k a year raise and more vacation, I was able to have them promise to pay for Cobra insurance until I was married and went on my soon-to-be-wifes insurance. They is a teacher so her insurance is better than what theyre offering.My fiance and I were discussing just getting married in the courthouse this weekend so that I can be added right away to her insurance and my new company wouldnt have to fork out a ton of dough on my behalf.Is there anything negative that could happen with doing this?  <response>: My husband and I did this for similar reasons. I told my family about it because they would understand that it wasnt the real wedding. He didnt tell his family because they were already trying to process our non-religious outdoor ceremony at the real wedding. There were no drawbacks for us. I was concerned that it would ruin the special aspect of the wedding day but it wasnt special at all. We just met a justice of the peace at the town hall, filled out some legal paperwork and then signed the license right in the clerks office. The only thing she said as way of ceremony was asking us if we were willingly choosing to make the decision, which she is required to do by our state law. She understood that we didnt want it to be significant and told us that a majority of weddings that she does are now done in a manner that gets the legal part out of the way in advance of the actual wedding. On our actual wedding day I was still terrified getting ready, I still felt weepy having my dad walk me down the aisle, still felt amazingly lucky while we did our vows and it still was one of the most amazing days of my life. We consider our wedding day our real anniversary too. No negatives that I can see.
