Sorry to hijack your thread but there is a way to "get married" without getting married legally, if that seems to be the concern here.
It is very simple:
1. Exchange vows in some formal ceremony, be it religious or non religious in front of close family and friends, it's your own ceremony and you can make it be what you want it to be.
2. Dont follow up this private ceremony with legal "state marriage" why let the State meddle into your personal affairs anyway.
3. Woman changes surname by way of legal document/statutory declaration/change of name deed. Suddenly post marriage she is Mrs so and so, as far as everyone else is concerned and also if you plan to have kids, it's easier.
4. You then draw up own separate mirror Wills and set up own personal affairs privately in the manner suited to your needs. Each respective party conserves own wealth in the way that is suitable for them both.
No legal marriage = no legal divorce.
#4 is the key for me.
Common law partners often have as many rights as married partners.
Prenups / postnups / common law property agreements. Have an agreement
