(but it's still easier if you actually have that bit of paper)

We had a humanist celebrant at our wedding. They do a lot of gay and atheist weddings in the UK. But they're not official registrars, so we had to pop off to the town hall earlier in the day to sign the official papers. We toyed with not bothering, but it was cheap.....

I think there are common-law states here?

Yeah, that's a point I hadn't thought of.
