If there is any judgement from my family, it's about one thing and one thing only: my living with veronica unmarried causes them no end of upset. V and I generally despise ceremony, however, and our attitude towards a wedding is generally "sounds like a great idea, as long as we don't have to be bothered showing up." She and I are committed to each other and generally think that should be enough, but we did get engaged largely to at least pacify both our families somewhat. I'm seriously considering whether it wouldn't be best to ask our mothers to just throw us a surprise wedding . . . whenever. That's how uninvolved we'd like to be.
