Why can't it be something fun like swapping surnames and then creating a portmaneau or blended name for the kids.

There's a reason why gay marriage was such an important battle. Marriage is a legal contract that has numerous benefits including inheritance, right to decide care, visitation rights, and being eligible for benefits to name a few.

It's not just a " piece of paper that says we're in love." It's a huge fucking deal that offers legal protection for your partner and yourself.

Hip hip hooray for bureaucracy!

Honestly though, you oughta be able to just write it down on a notarized piece of paper without the state having any say in any of that.
