Sorry if I sound old fashioned, but marriage is important before having children. It provides a committed and stable foundation upon which to build a family. Too many people have children out of wedlock and look at all the broken homes these days! That "piece of paper" a few other have said is unimportant is the only thing that has kept my husband and I together through some really rough times.
I would recommend going to your local courthouse and having a civil ceremony right away. After the baby has been born and thing are settled, then have a great big "reception" to share with family and friends.
I wish you all the best, and a happy healthy delivery!

It sounds like you really want to be married before the baby comes. Why can't you get married where you are? If you really want to be married before the baby comes, which I totally understand, then you could get married by a justice of the peace. Then later have the wedding you planned in Georgia. I've seen many couples do this. It would solve your problem. I wish you and your fiance well. God bless!

Don't allow anyone to tell you that you *have* to get married before your baby is born. That is a completely personal decision that only you can make with your fiance. If you want a traditional wedding (as opposed to a civil ceremony or courthouse wedding) it might not be practical to do so until after the birth of your child. Imagine finding a wedding dress to fit your baby bump! Also imagine being on your feet all day and performing all the duties of a bride on the day of her wedding. As far as legalities go, it depends on your state on what your baby's last name would be. Even if your baby has to have your name if you're unmarried you can always change it after the marriage. I hope this helps!

Don't sweat it. My fiance and I have an 11 month old (we were engaged before the pregnancy) and since we were paying for the majority of the wedding, we put it off until this August. Unless you're absolutely ill with the thought of not being married before the baby gets here, don't worry about it. Take time to relax and get ready for the baby. All things good come in due time. Have your wedding when it suits you. It's your life. :) Congrats!!

You have your baby and enjoy the new life that you bought into this world. That is what you do!!! You also ignore the idiots that say stuff like the person who answered before me. He/she is probably one of those children himself. You cannot change the fact that you are not married yet and you should not be worried about it. You are not the first and certainly not the last to have a child and not be married. At least you know and love your child's father and have plans of building a solid future TOGETHER! Enjoy your little one!!

Why do you have to have a marriage license in Georgia? Unless you are getting married there, you don't need one there. If you are currently in another state and want to get married, you just have to get one in that state. and go for it.
As far as if you should have gotten married already, does it matter? What's done is done.......

Go down to the county court house where you currently live, and get married! It's not about you any more. It's about providing you child with a family. I don't care if it is the 21st century, children need a mother and father who are committed to each other, and that means marriage. For heaven's sake, don't look to Tom Cruise for your moral guidance!

Don't worry about it. I had my fiances baby 7 months ago and we just got engaged on the 4th of July. As long as you love and are there for each other thats all that matters. A piece of paper is not going to make that much of a difference.

I don't really understand the "having to wait until Georgia" thing. Sounds like you need to worry about the baby that is going to be here soon and worry about marriage after.
