Which is my sentiment exactly. We might at some point get married, but if living together for 20 years, having a kid for 15 of them and owning our now third home together hasn't proved we're a couple, a paper and some vows aren't going to change anything.
I should add - this is very common here, so not marrying wouldn't be considered weird unless you're extremely conservative.

I like your anniversary, Oak
