We're not conventional either. Altho my husband wears his band, I rarely put mine on (work with babies and also don't care for jewelry). We got married in a gazebo with 6 of our friends and none of our families and had a pizza party after. No plans on doing a big wedding in future either. We have a roommate who is my best friend who also have a 5 year old. That's for financial reasons bc we live in a very expensive state but we all see each other as family and not roommates. I think you'll be fine, as long as you're honest. These officers are trained to pick up on stuff that doesn't add up and if you have nothing to hide, you will be fine! Just bring a lot of proof of bona-fide marriage. 

We didn't have engagement rings either. Weddings rings were never brought up. We were not separated, nor questioned separately. Note, that our experience, at our office, can vary pretty drastically from yours. For example, we were handed a piece of paper right away at the end of 30 min or so long interview telling us we were approved, but in many cases I hear people get a different notice that case neither approved nor denied, and has to under go additional processing. We were not asked any intimate or uncomfortable questions, I guess the closest one could be "You got married 13 days after meeting in US, don't you feel it is too fast?" 

To answer your questions, my suggestion is make sure you know details of your own story, and your answers are consistent with each other. Do not interrupt each other. They want physical pieces of evidence which they will keep, so make sure what you hand to them is easy to file (Letter sized pieces of paper, not single pictures) We arranged pictures in collages on letter sized paper, 3 pages, with 20 or so pictures total, they kept all of those. Scans of medical, electrical bills etc. In your case it might be rental agreements. Joint bank account showing both names. Not much overall. 

So happy for you SusannZ!!!
