Very interesting question!Can find something with what I agree in all answers above.
I like what told Flower-that "...not the marriage vows that count,but the actual commitment between 2 people involved ..."
But I agree and with Maruska,when she told "...if you are not ready for marriage,then you are not ready to commit yourself to..."
That is just choice of two how is better for them to live together- with marriage,or without it.
Just I think,that in simple living together you showing for your partner that you still have a doubts "in his or her love forever"

And really wonderful when all ending like in Baltica case-they got married.This living was just like some kind of test for love.
And I think,that if you met right person,you both are in love and sure about it,and want to spend rest of your life together-marriage is the best way to show it.Maybe I'm conservative,but I think women always feel themselves better in marriage,more safe.
I have been in both situation.And now can tell without any doubts that my choice is marriage with right person,when both want it and are ready for it.
For me,like for Maruska,weding party -just immediate family and close friends in beautiful place.
Most important to spend life together with somebody who made you feel complete at last

,about which you can tell that he or she is your soulmate,your life man or woman
My choice to live in marriage isn't man with whom I can live,but a man without whom I can't to live
