True, true, true....the marraige itself means nothing... only the 
relationship counts and you can have that without the piece of paper... 
The only time that little peice of paper comes in handy is in legal 
affairs..... well, for instance, IF there are children involved and one 
of you is ill or (shiver the thought) killed, the peice of paper insures
that the children will remain with the surviving parent and he/she will 
be able to sign documents for insurance purposes ect...... 
 
Society in a whole puts a lot of value on the marriage license, but it 
really doesn't mean anything more than two people had to fill out a lot 
of paperwork and pay some bucks to have a cerimony and make it legal..
