I found out today that my job is probably cutting all medical benefits this year since we took on a major financial hit this past week (a vocational school that rents the offices is cutting its contract due to budget cuts and our parish relies heavily upon that income to pay our salaries). All staff will lose their medical and dental benefits unless we are able to rent out to another program. FI and I will not move in together until we are married by the Church.
My FI's company does not provide benefits to non-legally bound spouses. So, we were discussing the possibility of getting a civil marriage by the judge just for the benefits and not move in together or "act as a married couple" until we have our wedding in the church next May. If you were to have a "shotgun" wedding would you tell any family/friends or keep it a secret? If you would share the info, who would you tell? Know of anyone in a similar situation? How did they handle it?
