You can publicly declare your love without getting married so
In regards to the legality, it is assumed that in a marriage, the two involved will be together forever right? In California, if you live with someone for over ten years the it becomes a common-law marriage which is legally the same thing as a marriage, minus the ceremony.
Sure you can, marriage is just a more traditional way to do so. I don't think people should get married as lightly as they do, because yes, it is intended to be a long-lasting bond. You don't have to have a ceremony, that's just something that makes it more public.
