Congrats to you both. "Did the deed" myself four years ago and still don\'t regret it.
Long-time bachelor prior?
Nope - married once before straight out of Uni; lasted 4 years till she went off with a copper! Was single for a few years, during which time I did all the drinking I should have done in my early twenties, then met the missus!
As you can tell, I still value the institution, despite my former bad experience!!
