If you get married, you get married by whatever entity decides to marry people (shoot, in this theory, your local McDonalds could choose to marry people if it so chose). The government needs no place in it. It's not the government's business. No more worrying about gay marriage/straight marriage, because there would be no need. The government doesn't need to prop up an institution, let society do it.

So what about divorce? Community property? Child support? Parental visitation? Death benefits? Distribution of property on death?
