ok so in just a few short weeks I'll be graduating with my dual masters for education- i have taught for a while but totally hated it and got out of teaching. I am looking to take a completely different direction- one that would make me more successful in my current job- do you think im crazy for jumping into yet another masters program and just a year and a half before the wedding??!?
what would you guys do- btw- the program cost is covered by my job i would only be paying for my books and registration fees

Not at all! I got my Masters in 2011 for Social Studies 7-12. I took my LSAT right before I got engaged and debated going to law school, but I got a really amazing job offer and now it's on the back burner.
Seriously follow your heart, don't let the wedding hinder you - you've got the rest of your life to pay off loans if you need to. PS. If your job is covering the cost, DO IT! Totally worth it! (& Most jobs will give you a raise for having the advanced degrees, regardless of the specification. My job doubled my salary once I got my Masters, and I work in politics, not exactly teaching Social Studies!)

No way! You should not force yourself to stick with a career you don't enjoy. Go for it!
