Talk about what the legal marriage means to each of you and then do exactly that - I mean with a lawyer or preacher or whatever. If you don't *call* it 'marriage', the tax laws won't apply! I personally approve of marriage as both a personal and legal contract, and I would write something and sign. Also, I wouldn't want to miss out on the fun of the big social wedding! I'm not, however, interested in our gov't's marriage license. -brian
