Then you really already have your wish.
Legal marriage is a contract between two people with the government as a third party that defines the rights and obligations of that contract.
Love is not required for this contract and very often is not a part of the marriage equation.
If all you want is a love marriage then you can go to a church or jump the broom.
If you want the legal rights and obligations of a civil marriage then you need a marriage license.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this. That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.
