Have fun! Skyrim's great, especially modded. Check out STEP for a compilation of mods that enhance graphics and fix bugs, and GEMS for mods which enhance gameplay (conveniently sorted into categories). Vanilla Skyrim is an amazing game without any mods installed, but there are some *really* talented modders out there that manage to push the gameplay experience from amazing to phenomenal. :)

P.S. being married in Skyrim = hilarious. My character's spouse became a merchant - I went into her buy/sell menu and she was trying to sell her wedding ring. I didn't realise living with my character was *that* bad. :P
