Just unsure of where the contracts would have to be done. Will be purchasing a house either right before or after wedding (depending on escrow), this will be made from seperate funds, but also want to protect retirement accounts etc.

Foolish mortal........ not entering it thinking it will fail, only being realistic. In my mind, it is foolhardy to enter a situation that where there is a statistical significance that it may fail (in fact over 50%) without addressing that possibility.
Its like driving a car with your seatbelt on, you dont want to be in a crash, but you are dealing with the reality that you may be involved in one (sometimes completely not your fault) and taking pertinent safety precautions. Are you the kind of person riding without a seatbelt just because you DONT WANT to get in a crash....... Recognizing and dealing with reality without the pie in the sky notion that nothing may go wrong 10 years from now is foolish. Every couple going through divorce walked down the aisle bright eyed and bushy tailed, yet something changed that along the way.
Signed, my head is not in the sand

You'll want to double check this with an attorney in CA, but it seems to me that since you're getting married under the laws of the State of California you should draw up your pre-nup there. And why would you want to have a pre-nup anyway? These kinds of contracts automatically assume that the marriage will end by divorce or separation. What a negative way to start married life.
