Somewhere along the line I missed the opportunity to pass this along, but today a year ago my gf and I got a registered partnership. Which is (apparently) exactly the same as a marriage, with exactly the same ceremony. I'm not a ceremony guy, and the only reason (for me, that is) to our relationship "officially acknowledged" was a legal one. Here in the netherlands there are three options to arrange this, with the third option a legal contract. Marriage and registered partnership are legally the same, with the only difference being that you'd have to register your kid before birth (probably some christian reasoning behind this). We were quite surprised that this registered partnership required witnesses and whatnot as well, but in the end it was a nice day together with our parents, brothers and sisters and their "mates".

The weather was a lot better a year ago btw.
