im not inclined to do the romantic thing on one knee.
if you move in, even if your intention is not to immediately marry, still get the utilitie bills in both your names, get the rent agreement in both of your names and get two or more bank account/ credit cards in a joint account.
-get a general medical power of attorney signed.
-get a will for each party
-if you trust the other get a general power of attorney.
think through what YOU want to do, what is good for you. get an agreement signed before you marry and establish who owned what and where things go in a separation. For example who gets the pet, car. Request a cooling off period and arbitration. Once the divorce is final the other party cant come back in court, the agreement(s) are final.
NY allows marriage, not valid in other states.
