If you love someone is it really needed that you make it a formal legal statement? No, of course not. Its simply a tradition, one I consider to be overrated and outdated regardless of who its to or how many people it involves.
Make of that what you will.
At your age, I am not surprised at your attitude, as the practicalities of the matter are far over the horizon for you. When you get to the age where you have to think about the legal issues affected by incapacitation and death, the legal benefits afforded by marriage become more apparent.
