I am a Brit who has recently moved to Florida. I married my rather wonderful American wife a week ago. Has anyone got any tips for living in the USA?

I'm not sure what kind of tips you're looking for, but Americans are easy to get along with, for the most part - accepting of foreigners and helpful when you need it. Maybe the biggest change will be the food? Make changes a little at a time. Think twice before asking "What do you mean???" Some of our words mean different things from the way you're used to.
Welcome to the US, by the way.

There's a lot of red tape for me to wade through. I've hopefully got a social security number on its way to me. That should help things.
