Only when she's high.

I dont think marriage is for everyone. I myself like the idea; its saying to your partner "hey, you, I love you enough to give you all of my shit and remaining years." Not an institution to be entered into lightly, and I see many couples doing just that. Easily in, easily out. Well, emotionally, anyhow.

Asking someone to marry you should be the biggest deal of the relationship. If you cant commit to it, dont ask. I know couples who are perfectly happy waking up every day and saying "yeah, I'll stick around" without any further ado- and you know what? If that's what works, great! The bottom line is this: If you commit, see it through. If you cannot commit, if marriage is not your ultimate expression of love for another, don't try. Better to leave the relationship than to half-ass a lifetime connection that you know will ultimately fail for lack of devotion.

Fact: The only time I've ever been high was from pain medication :B

I like what M00s has to say about marriage. B) It seems like too many people get married for the sake of getting married without necessarily considering the weight of it. I think it also takes a great deal of time and patience to get it right. I see a lot of females especially start freaking out as they approach their mid-20s and want to start rushing that stuff. ._.

Through my card readings, I've noticed that older people looking for love tend to approach things in a way that is much more promising. They're experienced and know what works and what doesn't work. B)

What I see in all those comments is that you're confusing love and marriage. I don't like the marriage because it's an institution in which I can't believe and that I didn't need. But I can believe in a love you share for a long time (which is composed of a pinch of admiration, another pinch of trust and a big handful of compromises). And if you want to celebrate your love, you could without get married. Organise a big fest if you want, whatever ? The marriage doesn't have to be the only opportunity for you to celebrate your love.

The way I see it, if you're in a loving and committed relationship, there's no reason not to get married.
Some people see it as just an overblown religious ceremony, but honestly it's more of a legal thing nowadays. It allows you to have certain rights, such as the ability to make medical decisions for your partner in cases where the partner cannot, and the rights to certain joint benefits where applicable (Military benefits, social security etc.). This is partially why the gay community fought so hard for marriage, as opposed to "domestic partnership" as many of these benefits were not universally recognized under civil unions.

Also, there's nothing stopping people from going to the courthouse and getting a marriage license. You don't need a $100k+ wedding to be married.

This. Also tax breaks. (May vary by state)
