But it's up to you two and what feels right for you guys. Everyone else's opinion doesn't matter and landmarks tend to bring this 'ooh, it's been x amount of years...!' panic in people, but really...nothing's changed from 9 years to 10, has it?
Nope, nothing changed. I'm not a fan anyway of thinking of things in a chronological order - I just don't think life works that way! But the idea of being together for 10 years, and the help that getting married would provide us with eventually moving to Canada, has left me thinking... honestly, there's nobody else I want to spend my life with - he's just the perfect companion. So why not officialize it? But then I get terrified of... ugh... weddings! For me! When I never thought I'd do such a thing! It's really like a great big fuse blowup in my head.
On a practical, if morbid, note - you'd be in a much better financial and legal position. e.g. when my common law husband died I had to leave the 3-bedroom council house we had.
The UK sucks, apparently. Apparently it also takes like, a month to open a damned bank account b/c everything has to be done by post. What the heck is that all about?

I NEED that cake topper like I have never wanted anything before.
Dean looked a little weirded out when I showed him, but in the way only my husband understands why I need it.
