people are annoying.
i'm not sure why they get hung up on something like that. i have heard that in europe it is less and less common for couples to marry especially since health care is less of an issue there. to be honest one of the main reasons dh and i got married was for insurance, that and to have legal status in case of emergency. anyway i think that the american preoccupation with marriage is considered a bit old fashioned.
sorry people are giving you a rough time. just remember that you and your sweetie are making the right decision for your family!!
