Congratulations! Best wishes to both of you for the entirety!
Never sign a pre-nup, it WILL set you up for failure. If your partner asks you to sign a pre-nup, just go ahead and cancel the engagement. Seriously. The contingency plan opens up the possibility, it's amazing what that small idea does to couples. Never marry someone before you know them (live with each other for several years first, either dating or engaged), don't marry on a whim, don't marry crazy assholes, and don't marry unless you're 100% sure you're willing to take the risk.
I dunno about the rest of these folks, but I didn't ask my wife to marry me just to screw around for a few years and then watch it crash and burn. It's got it's ups and downs but it will work if you put the effort in on the front AND back end. Be smart or don't bother asking the question.
