The Short Answer
My wife and I have been together for 16 years; we got married two years ago. We got married because a) it makes lots of things easier (and cheaper!) in terms of inheritance, banking, insurance, tax, etc, b) it's a great excuse to have a big party, and c) it was a way for us to 'formalise' and reaffirm our relationship, and d) it gave our relatives a chance to go through some of those sentimentally important processes; we were able to get married in front of my 94-year-old grandfather and our parents got to do all the things that they've consciously or subconsciously had in the backs of their minds for over 30 years. On top of all of that after a decade of numerous funerals it was good to get everyone together for something celebratory.
