  • My partner is permemantly disabled, so getting married grants them protection financially if anything happens to me. I could totally make a will and say “All my stuff goes to spouse”, but if my family (not that they ever would) wanted to intervene because we weren’t married, they could.

    Now? Because we’re married my partner gets anything and everything if something happens to me. The house, the cars, the dogs, my inheritance, everything.




  • My partner and I got married after 8 months of meeting. We’re both quiet people with sensory issues, so we got married on our friend’s front porch with about 30 friends, no family allowed. Found someone to give our wedding for a few hundred bucks, the engagement ring and wedding bands were likely no more than $500 for all three.

    All that plus the booze we probably did it for under $1500 total.
