This is not at all an urgent goal, but whatever negative impressions I may have about the system of marriage in this country and misgivings about the way marriage works, I’m still romantically in love with the idea of the ceremony, of family and friends gathering, of a public promise that binds two people in love together. I suppose something akin to a Wiccan handfasting (though I am Pagan, I am not Wiccan) would probably fit the bill for me – something beautiful & symbolic, but not involving the law. For that there are better systems, such as living together agreements etc.
This is kind of an in-joke in my family. A relative commented on how my boyfriend and I were always holding hands, this was some months after we’d moved in together. Now, almost 2 years on, we are just the same, and I don’t want that to ever change. He is my soulmate, and I love him forever.
