hell, we lived together for years before bothering with getting married. Both our parents are divorced… so it's not like we thought the piece of paper meant anything. Well… except for the tax savings, which is why we got married after buying the house and looking at what our tax situation would be. Married 2nd half of Dec with about a week or two notice for $10 at the JP. Netted us an extra bunch in our tax money the following April.
We weren't ever formally engaged or anything… we just were together and figured one day we'd prolly get married or maybe not, then just did because it made fiscal sense. (Prolly would have made fiscal sense earlier, but we're also HUGE procrastinators.)
Never been a big wedding girl, and really still don't care that I didn't have some huge party for everyone else to be happy.
I would have liked to find something other than black to wear, but oh well.
