This is a generic answer for status from HO. This is under settlementthough!

What is my immigration status while my application is being decided?
Close If you make an application before your authorised stay ends, your existing immigration status will continue until your application is decided, even if the decision is not made until after the end of your permitted stay. If your existing visa or other permission to stay here allows you to work, you can continue to do so until your case is decided.

You will be British after the ceremony. Currently, you are a ILR holder.
