@anthracite fwiw, it's just as big a deal as y'all decide to make it, yanno? after Spouse and I got hitched people kept asking "so does it feel different??" and I'd look at them blankly and say "noooo..." and for me (and Spouse, by his report) it really didn't. on the other hand we were "engaged" for like a year and a half before we finally stopped procrastinating and actually did the thing, so we had a lot of time to get used to the idea. XD
@green @anthracite Yeah, I mean, I was really just thinking of practical matters. I'd already taken it for granted that we were at least at that level where the pararazzi would refer to us as "longtime companions." :) I'd put it to Peg as something like "I figured we were at least as married as Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson were..."
