Should I do this? Is it acceptable?
Back story: We've been living together for a while. It would be a second marriage for both of us, and we'd just go to the courthouse. Maybe go out to the bar or dinner afterwards with close friends, but family wouldn't be there or anything.
We've decided we want to get married and right now I'm paying through the nose on health insurance for the two of us (I pay the same rates for him as I would if he were my husband, but the "value" of the benefits is the COBRA rates so I'm being taxed on that amount. It isn't cheap). We know we're getting married anyway. It's not going to be a big deal. Should I just go ahead and do it for tax reasons since a courthouse wedding isn't going to be romantic anyway?
I wouldn't get him a ring or anything. But part of me is still holding out hope that he'll propose to me (I've told him I don't want a ring either but the gesture would be sweet). I guess I'm a little bit romantic.
I just really want to be married by the end of the year. Yes, mostly for tax reasons, but also because I love him and want to move forward in our life together. He isn't dragging his feet or anything, I just don't think the sense of urgency is there for him.
