Obviously that's just a west case scenario situation, as there's nothing wrong with me and I'm in good health. I'm talking if a catastrophe happens. We were already engaged when I started talking about it.
Speak to an estate planner.
I know you want to get married for other reasons, but there's no reason to get married just for inheritance purposes.

Well I think it makes sense to just speed up the process, although that isn't a bad idea either.
We had been engaged for a few months before I even brought up the idea of leaving her what I have. And we've been engaged for 8 months now.
In the end, we're not crazy about the idea of waiting 2-3 years after engagement to get married. And we've decided we're not doing a big wedding. It will be a small and private ceremony either way.

I totally get where you're coming from.
I was just putting it out there as an option, even just in the interim. One of those "you never know" things.
They couldn't have been too happy, cuz millions ended up fighting for the right to be married.
You want the government to recognize who you want to be committed too. Otherwise, you couldn't visit them in the hospital when they were sick. You couldn't make decisions for them in case of emergencies, if something terrible happened, you were left out in the cold.
There were more reasons to get married, especially in terms of legal reasons, then not.
Someone once told me that marriage is all for the woman, so that she gets half your stuff if you decide to leave her. I was thinking, the title "married" probably doesn't make the relationship much stronger. That title doesn't substitute for honesty, care, and a good relationship in general.
So, what's the point of a man getting married? Why not just have a main BAE. It's less dramatic, too, if the two of you want to split. No anger over who gets what stuff. Less obligation and more of an "at will" type of agreement.
When you get hired at a company, often it's contract, or permanent, but never "for life".
50% of all marriages fail so you can't act like the current tradition works for everyone.

While we can get married at any time, we wouldn't be able to have a honeymoon until next summer, unless we do it in the next 6 or 7 weeks.
I do not take trips of more than a few days during NHL season! She knows that and is cool with it!
Not that we have a destination in mind yet, I was thinking Oahu. We also don't want a big wedding, because we've both agreed that there are way too many drunks in her family, that will be wildly intoxicated at the wedding. We do want a few people present. Maybe her parents, my mom and maybe her best friend and my best friend. I told my best friend that I wanted him to be my best man a long time ago.
There's also marital privilege in US court of law, where your spouse won't ever be asked to testify against you. Just thought I'd add that to the list, you never know when it might come in handy!
I've been in a relationship for nearly two years but have no intention of getting married. She isn't interested either. She was married young and has no desire to do it again. I've never married and feel the same. Just because you aren't officially married doesn't mean you can't be happy.
