It's not shallow, marriage is a government sanctioned contract. If you two have genuine love then the government sanctioned marriage doesn't matter.
"Marriage is a government sanctioned contract"
It can't get more romantic than that. /j
At least in the US the marriage contract gives a massive ton of legal access to shared things, discounts, medical decisions, and a bunch of other stuff. You can kind of come close by spending a bunch of money on legal documentation, but still not exactly the same.
Fuck all that noise man, not interested at all
And a ring isn't necessary for said contact.
