That's what I like - practicality. Well said Cashy.
We've been together 35 years and counting, never got round to getting the piece of paper. If we had decided to have children it might have been different, but today even that doesn't seem to matter. Actually I think the strength of the relatiionship is what matters and if you need a piece of paper and a big day to prove it then it may need some working at.
Having said all that I have read all Margaret P's blogs about her wedding day and I envy her having found the right man and going ahead with the wedding on a shoestring. It took me a lot longer to settle down!
As she said, marriage is not about money. Weddings are, but then that's only one day in a whole life.
