The only necessary component of marriage on the government level is power of attorney/right to inheritance. Polygamy and healthcare? each additional wife costs as much as a dependent on your health plan. Homosexual couples and inheritance? that's what a willl is for. Non-traditional unions and power of attorney? living will.
If you want marriage, go to your preferred place of worship and get married. If you want all the legal issues settled, write out a living will, a will, and a contract dictating who owns/gets what (just like a prenuptual now) and have it notarized. Make it a condition of the contract that it is null and void if both parties put notarized signatures on the dotted line.
