i am personally pro marriage under extreme circumstances like an immutable, infallable supernatural attachment to one's partner. but not otherwise.
also, a wonderful excuse to party, and drink when underage with little to no reprocussion.
but i wanna hear what everyone else has to say -
steve is not married, correct? there must be a reason
fire away

As something to do because you're "supposed to" - CRAP
As something you do because you can't imagine life without that person - NOT CRAP
As a ritual designed to show everybody how much money you can blow - CRAP
As a special evening for friends and family, without spending tons - NOT CRAP
With any religious significance - CRAP
With the very reverend Heather Whinna officiating - NOT CRAP
I couldn't be happier about my marriage, despite what a lot of my "friends" said at the time. Six years and counting and I still can't believe I get to spend my life with this woman.
NOT CRAP

Well put, young Dylan!
I've been married for 7 years and with the same lady for almost 14.
7 years was good "checking out" period!

Seven years and counting. I still can not figure out how I lucked into this thing. I do not deserve it, that is for sure...
We have two children so now she REALLY has to stick around! I got here on the ropes!!

Friends for several years.
"together" for 2 years.
Married for 1.
My wedding was undoubtedly the best day of my life!
Don't need it to justify our life, but it was pretty cool.
Pro marriage!

What Dylan said. Do it because you want to, or else don't do it.
Stats: Together...(is it really?) 17 years, married for (again, doesn't seem like) 14.5. We took the plunge young, and it worked out great. (Admittedly, this is not necessarily the case for all young couples. YMMV)
