For me, it's about to come up.

So, when's the wedding?
LOL! No wedding yet!
For me it's residency match day - on March 20. All the M4s gather in one room, envelopes are handed out to each of us. We all stand there with our closed envelopes for a bit.
Then they tell us all to open it at once.
The envelope contains a single "match", a bound contract. Whichever program is on that piece of paper is where I'll be for my entire residency. I could end up in Nebraska, Ohio, Wisconsin, Missouri, Michigan, Iowa, or Chicago.
And it's not just for me, but for many of my classmates - a lot is riding on this envelope. Lives are on the verge of change or stasis, marriages are strained or enriched, relationships can be strengthened or broken, friendships lost over distance or made even better by being at the same hospital. From what I've heard, there will definitely be tears - either of joy or sadness. I hope I'm the former.
*Sigh*... I'm becoming anxious.

In answer to the thread title, my life changing moment was the day my wife of 20 years was diagnosed with MS. That was back in 1987 and it completely changed my general perception of life. Things that seemed really important prior to that suddenly didn't mean diddley-squat (and vice-versa). I find that it's difficult to convey to someone the perceptual differences unless they've gone through something similar. (Its the proverbial 'color to a blind man' sort of thing.)
