I said no Vows. My 3rd and her 4th, so we have always broke those. Wrote our own "commitments" instead as I've always been told I needed to be committed.

She has saved my life 3 times, she's an RN and I saved her from crazy relatives by moving her out of state.

We've live together for about 5 years and those have been the best for both of us.

No need to add to the wedding industry profits. The industry has become obscene.
A small intimate ceremony and dinner is perfect, and meaningful.

You can throw the party later, when it's warm enough to do it outdoors.

That's what my neighbors did (after 10 years and 2 kids) and I'm looking forward to the party. I might even buy the cake.
