It's still just a random piece of paper. It doesn't make me naive to know that it isn't important to a lot of people.Anonymous 7 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 6:55 am
People who say that are naive.
That random piece of paper affords you a lot legally.
Hell thanks to that random piece of paper I can collect my husband’s social security even though he passed away.

Off Topic: The subject of marriage came up a while ago while driving in the car with the hubs and the kid. The kid's pearl of wisdom. Marriage should come with an expiration date. So if couples legally want out, they just have to wait for the marriage to expire otherwise, fill out some paperwork to continue the marriage.

If they lied to everyone and presented it as an actual wedding with gifts and all, I'd think it was a ridiculous and immature thing to do, complete with a gift grab. Lying is not cute or respectable.

People can do what they want to do but call it what it is. If they are having a ceremony and/or reception to celebrate their committment to each other, then call it that. "Come help us celebrate our life committment to each other..." or something like that. Don't call it a wedding if you aren't actually getting married. The only wrong thing is inviting people to something under false pretense.
I don’t care if someone wants to have a fake wedding, but I would be upset that they lied about it.
Seems kind of dishonest.
I don't really care but dishonest. They lied to all their friends and family..seems wrong

You can have your opinion but that doesn't mean I'm not married.
And I could lie and tell you I’m still married and we’ve been married 50. Doesn’t mean I’m telling the truth just like I don’t believe a word you’re saying.

That's what makes this so wrong. Being deceitful where others spend a large amount of money on something they may not have otherwise.Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 2:21 pmThat's what bothered some. It felt like a lie. An expensive lie to some. I only purchased a gift, I was pregnant at the time and didn't want to commit to being a bridesmaid while I was. However, a lot of mutual friends were in the wedding one way or another.Murdoc's Mistress wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 9:04 am Not a big deal in the grand scheme of wanting to keep the SSI, especially if the partner's income cannot support the two of them and she really cannot work, but I do take issue with faking it with the family - especially if they gave large monetary gifts and other large gifts as well as contributed to the "wedding" under the premise it was a legal marriage.
Like another poster said, if it's not a big deal and a "paper" then don't lie about it.
