Congratulations! and thanks for sharing your good news with us.
Probably the biggest thing is to make sure you're both at least sort of on the same page when it comes to kids. You don't need to have exactly the same number in mind, or anything, but you need to know if one adamantly wants a big family and the other doesn't want kids at all.
In general, just be open and honest with each other and most issues will work themselves out. You're both going to grow together in a bunch of ways and that will change how you feel about a bunch stuff.
My wife just weighed in with her engagement advice: "Elope. It's cheaper than a wedding and you can afford to go somewhere fun and you'll actually be able to enjoy yourselves."
Yep, thankfully we’ve had those talks and are aligned :)
And oh yes, elopement is certainly in the cards. We will see!

Good luck! We didn't have fortitude to go through with eloping. Maybe you'll succeed where we failed.
