Love and Marriage

Today in the underground a couple was talking to each other and as I was standing right next to them, I couldn't help but overhear their conversation. They were talking about their wedding and how everything will be great with the white roses on the tables and the guests and what not.
I started thinking about weddings and tried to picture myself my own. After a short while I just figured that I really like the thought of being married, introducing someone to my wife at a party or pay less for insurance and taxes. But the thought of getting married just didn't work in my head. I quit church a couple of years ago, so I can't (and really don't want to) marry in a church, but even the thought of having a ceremony at the civil registry office (that's how it's usually done in Austria to be legally married, church is just for fun) is hard to imagine. Maybe that's a lack of imagination though. Also, I have trouble with the concept (as per usual). My life won't really change. We'll still live in our flat, we'll still go to work and we'll still eat dinner together and all that. Our relationship will not be more serious or more of anything (or less of anything) just because the state recognises that we're not roomies. So why would I spend a lot of money on a ceremony to celebrate the change of nothing?
The only thing I wish is that all these thoughts would really have an effect in my life because we're years away from gay marriage anyway...
