First off, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I hope your marriage is a long and happy one. And as for the insurance, you should be good to go - if they have your name and you are on the policy, you're covered. If you want to be sure, call them up tomorrow and make sure, but I can't imagine you having trouble. I had a friend many years ago who got a new job with coverage as of the first day of employment, and his wife went into labor with their baby the NEXT DAY, nine weeks premature. He didn't even fill out the insurance paperwork until after the baby was born, but they were covered as of the day before, so over $200,000 of newborn intensive care was paid, no questions asked.

Some insurance companies have a 30 day waiting period for elective surgery. I'd call the HR Benefits Specialist with his company and ask.
