The only thing that did was make the wedding bigger than we wanted.

For my uncle. He drug the dating out for 15 years. His wife had really wanted to be married and raise a family and they completely missed that opportunity. By the time they did get married he had health issues and having a family was not possible. I just found that very selfish.
I am not keen on marriage but I am not against it. I'd do it if it was important to my significant other and/or the benefits were needed.

Did your uncle drag it out for so long to avoid getting married and/or having a family?

I don't want a family (god help me to stay this way! lol). So that would not be a concern for me.
