Reply to comment by aLittleQueer in LPT: If a single friend of yours has said they don’t want children, don’t start asking them if they’ve changed their mind if/when they find a partner. by dubdoll

to be fair, marriage is not matter whether you want to have kids together or build a life together. It is just a waste of money and putting unnecessary pressure on the couple. I have been single for all my life (27), and even though I wish to have a Life time partner, I feel stressed whenever thinking about getting marriage

Eloping is a stress free and as cheap as you want to make it way to tie the knot. Our 'wedding' cost like £400 in total and made life a ton easier when it comes to visas etc (have a tendency to move around a lot).

The thought of a big wedding terrified the both of us 😂

Same here. My fiance proposed last year and it only took me 6 months to have a breakdown and say I never want a wedding or to be married on paper. I (27F) don't see it as something that benefits me in any way that using a lawyer to gain some of the legal privileges can't also benefit me.

A lawyer can't get you entitlement to Social Security benefits from a deceased spouse and hospitals can ignore some agreements between individuals It's fine IMO not to marry but know what you are giving up.
