It’s just too much for me, and I think the emotional stress on my wife-to-be would be at much more of a cost than a financial stress alone.

Really? I’d way way rather deal with all of that than a $100k loan. That $100k loan is going to be very stressful if your plan doesn’t work out...(and even if it does) fail multiple checkrides, DUI, economic downturn, age 67 retirement stagnation, or you don’t like the job.
On that last point, you have a history of jumping onto a path and not following it through. Seems like you are looking for a magic solution. This is a disaster waiting to happen. New wife, no job, massive debt, whatever you do, please put off having kids until you clean up this mess.
