I got married when I was 6 mths preggo. The wedding was already planned before I got pregnant had to get a new dress. I say go for it!

I refused to get married while pregnant, I guess out of defiance. I didn't want my religious grandparents thinking it was a shot gun wedding. As s result my daughter was 5 years old when we got married last year. But that's my personal experience. I see nothing wrong with marrying someone you've been with for 3 years, regardless of who you are carrying with you. It's already scheduled, so go for it!

I went right after my son was born. Only because we wanted to marry the day day we started dating. But I see no problem with the belly :) we also did it at civil I wore a summer dress.  And it was just as meaningful :) our fifth marriage aniversary is June 23rd :) your going to be just beautiful stopworrying!

I say go for it! Think of how cool it'll be for your child when he or she is older and you show him or her your wedding pictures and can point to your belly and say "there you are".

I like the idea all the way around.  First, don't worry that it looks funny from a society point of view, because anyone who would be censorious about someone getting married when pregnant is the very same person who would be relieved that you're actually getting married, so they will be way more approving than disapproving.  And second don't worry that you'll look funny in a cute sundress, preggo women look GREAT in cute sundresses!  Wear a straw hat with a flower, and hold your head high!  Finally, a small wedding done in an informal style is the absolute antidote to all those fussed-up and impossible weddings featuring bridezillas, where you get the secret impression they are just doing it because they want to be the star of some kind of show and they might be getting a divorce in five years.  A small wedding full of cheerfulness and heart, is the greatest and sweetest kind of wedding.  Especially since there is clearly a baby to come!  

Have fun, and congratulations!

Nah... youll be fine. I got married while 4 months prego with my third baby. Hubby spoiled me too by taking me to a bridal store to buy an appropriate dress - not a wedding gown but it was close enough for me.
