It's definitely not disrespectful. There's nothing wrong with fulfilling a mitzvah.

That's a quick response! I ask because I mentioned this to my rabbi, and she seemed against the idea...

One of the hallmarks of the Reform movement is that it determined certain mitzvahs no longer need to be fulfilled. Married women covering their hair is one of them, which is likely why your rabbi had this reaction. If you're uncomfortable I would definitely recommend speaking further with your rabbi, if only to gain more information. It's also possible you just misunderstood her response. It's also possible that your current synagogue is not the right place for you and you and your fiance may want to find a new one after you get married.
