AVOID US-50 LIKE THE PLAGUE. SERIOUSLY.
So no, don't live in Chantilly. I lived in Leesburg and commuted to Fairfax for work until I started commuting to Rockville, MD for work instead. The drive to Chantilly was fine - the drive from Chantilly to Fairfax made me want to rip my hair out.
Why not live IN Fairfax? Or Fairfax Station? Avoiding traffic as much as possible is really your best bet if you want to keep your sanity. If you live close to Vienna/Fairfax metro station, that will give your fiancee more options in terms of commuting to a job of her own. There is a Wegmans in Fairfax, so you don't have to worry about that, either!
Realize that if you live in Chantilly, you might be within 30 minutes of a Wegmans.. but you'll be more than 30 minutes from work!
