We got married because otherwise her parents would get too annoying when we moved in together. We picked out rings without stones together and had six people present at the wedding.

Never bought her a diamond
Never even bought a ring
Never even got married with a giant ceremony or big event
Been together for over 30 years, bought property and all kinds of things, traveled to over 30 countries. Still not married.
¯_(ツ)_/¯

- got married at city hall for like $20
- got him a synthetic diamond ring for $300 (large diamond with lots of small decorative diamonds, easy looks 10x the price we paid)
- spent all of the money we would have spent on wedding and ring on a trip to long vacation

Congratulations on 5 years then … no better way to show you love someone than to stick with them for that long.

Didn’t buy her a diamond or a ring, but I did buy a marriage certificate and signed it at the location of our first date. We’re pretty happy with it

Beautiful … you don’t need a public ceremony to display how much you love someone

“still haven’t made my mind up” aaa relationship 😭🥀💀

Sounds to me like they’ve made up their minds a long time ago and have proven their love for one another for over 30 years. I don’t think there exists a thing that could prove it better.
ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 14 hours ago
It was like that for a year or two … then it turned into 30 … we wondered for a long time … but after a while, you both realize, I’m never finding someone like this again in this lifetime.

Why not just get married then?

Guess they have nothing to prove to each other, they don’t need a piece of paper or someone else to proclaim they are together forever, they already know that.

Same philosophy, but we did get married after we realized the legal protections and tax benefits were worth it. We just saw too much opportunity for our very dissimilar families to pull some nonsense.
We snuck into a park (that requires reservations for ceremonies) with some friends and that was that.
The rings are simple and inexpensive, and also rarely worn. We know what we’re about.

Congratulations … we get along with each others families very well now and there’s no worries about anyone pulling anything on us (although there is always a chance that may change) … but at the same time, everyone is now so freakin old that it almost doesn’t matter to anyone any more. We are seriously thinking of getting officially married, simply for the fact that this is the only way to deal with medical rights issues for spouses and partners.

Yeah. Both of us depart from our families, and didn’t want to be in a position where we could have a parent or sibling try to “pull rank” about some medical decision, or have to worry about assets.
