Bunnygrrl and I have been engaged for eleven years. Take your time. Just cuz yer engaged doesn't mean you have to get married.

We think it will happen this decade. Probably in the next year, maybe sooner. Bunnygrrl needs $3K of work done on her teeth, and I'm not spending that kinda money if I can't deduct it. Hell, technically we might already be married. Gotta find out what common law marriage laws are.

Oh well, neither Illinois nor Florida have common law marriage, so Bunnygrrl wins. I have to buy a stupid ring.

What does it mean ? The only way to get married in Flordia or Illinois is through the church ?

No, no. We're still gonna have a secular wedding. Common law marriage is when you've been living together for a certain amount of time, the state says, you're living together as man and wife, so now you are. In some states, all it takes is someone saying that another peron in their presence is their spouse in front of witnesses, and if you're not contradicted, you're legally married.

No, it means that you must have the state certify your marriage... you can't just live together and call yourself "married."

Anyway, as you might know, churches don't have the power to marry in the US. While people use their churches to perform the ceremony, the power to wed someone resides in the state. Most ceremonies end with the preacher saying thus:

"...By the power vested in me by the State of XXXX, I now pronounce you Man and Wife. You may kiss the bride."

Congratulations ixnay.
I was married at 24.
At the time it seemed to be the perfect age for it.
Looking back I think "$^(*&. How could I get married so young?".
In the end, the age that we made our decision seems not to have mattered. What mattered was that she seemed the right one for me and both of us wanted to make it work.
