There'd be no point in doing that, as you and your partner wouldn't be receiving the legal benefits which you seek from marriage (Referencing one of your earlier anecdotes). And, by the way, no I don't support that.

She is my wife. Please refer to her in that manner.

It sounds to me as if you value the legal benefits of marriage moreso than you do the "Love" aspects of marriage (That's simply my opinion).

Your opinion is misinformed. If we did not value the love, commitment, and spiritual aspects of marriage, we would not be married.
We also value the several dozen legal rights that come with civil marriage. We also value the social aspects of a state-recognized marriage. It isn't a matter of picking one, all of them matter. Everything on lurkette's list is something that is valueable to us as a married couple.

(If someone wanted to marry their pet, I'd be opposed to that under the same reasons I oppose gay marriage, if that makes sense)

And there it is, the inevitable comparison to bestiality. You know, in addition to my marriage being homosexual, it's also interracial. Would you compare that to marrying an animal?
