I am not a stereotypical wife and tyreay isn't a stereotypical husband, and I like the security of that piece of paper. It's a public commitment.

Im not trying to sound bad but why do you need a piece of paper to make a commitment public? Why couldnt you just go about your lives and say that you are married, just not in the eyes of god and government?

Because if you don't have some sort of ceremony, you aren't married, and I'm not in the eyes of God.

Does being married have to have a ceremony? Why must we all conform into one way to do things? Why must we follow one path all the time and not do things differently even though the outcome is all the same?

And i was gonna put in my post "just on in the eyes of god(or whomever you praise) and government; but we all do worship a "god" dont we? So I kinda let it out, which makes you always say, just go with your first answer lol

Oh, you know, the relatives love a reason to party, thus the ceremony.

I also here you get lots of cash when you get married too.
One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all.

My entire ceremony cost $50 total. We did it at home. My friends bought a centerpiece and the cake. It was simple.
Now, at tax time, life is good.
