DP and I met over 5 years ago, we've been living together for nearly 4 years and we have an 11 month old DS. I've never been arsed about getting married (hate dresses, hate being centre of attention, no money) but recently I've been thinking that, aside from the obvious legal benefits (makes things much simpler, anyway) it might be quite nice to get married.
He's sort of asked, jokingly, a couple of times, and I've jokingly brushed him off, so now he says (jokingly?) that he's not asking me again. But it might be nice. To do something on the quiet, and then have a bit of a hoolie for friends and family afterwards. No pressure, no difficult napkin choices and fretting about guest lists.
Whaddya think, do I ask him to ask me again? We're not in for long engagements and we're totally penniless just now, but maybe in a year or two, we could do it. Has anyone been happily unmarried then changed their minds?

I think I'd quite like to get married after all.
