We have been living together for 2-years now. To me and this is JMO, I would not marry someone unless I lived with them first. I think I truly got to know him and it grew our relationship to such a different level.
We are now getting married because we want to be husband and wife and one day start a family. I don't think it is that piece of paper that changes you, I think that getting married leaves a certain bond & a different kind of partnership.
Exactly...well put Since we already live together, we won't have that 'getting used to it' time that you need to go through..we'll be comfortable from the start.

Re: To those living with FH..
I had been dating FH for 6 months when I found out I was pregnant. Although I was not going to give up the baby, I was also not prepared to get married! So we agreed to move in together when the due date grew closer. We loved each other, but we were not considering getting married before I found out I as pregnant, and I did not want it to become a consideration just because I was having a baby.
We did get a LOT of pressure to marry - but we thought it was more important to live together, get to know each other better and concentrate on being great parents. Which we did. As time went on, getting married became less and less important to us. We were already living together. We had a son... then a 2nd son. We just didn't even really think about messing with 'a good thing'. We bought a house and basically I just considered us married without the legality. Then there was an office bet... and next thing you know I am engaged! And here we are!
The wedding itself is less about 'formalizing' our relationship then it is about celebrating our family. I think it is the right time!

We got engaged because we want to be married and a family. We've been together 8.5 years, engaged almost 2 years and living together for 1 year. Getting married was what was important to us and our relationsip being strong. I don't feel like living together is any substitute for marriage.

I agree 100%. Even thought I put the horse before the carriage.
