I asked "are we" rather than "do you." My wife and I were very tight for years before we got involved romantically, and we stayed tight in a friends way as well as a lover's way. She moved to my town, we started making plans to move in together, started buying stuff together. This went on for a few months and although we had separate apartments we almost never slept alone.
Finally one evening we were sitting in a diner, and my not-yet-wife wanted some clarification on our status. I said, "I feel married. Do you feel married?" She said yes. I said, "Then we're married!" She did that rapid-blinking thing some women do on the rare occasion that a man actually surprises them, but she say "Okay!" We held hands and kissed. And although it took a couple of years to make it legal, but as far as we were concerned we were married and committed to each other from that day forward.
