If you truly love your partner, does a ring and a ceremony really do anything?

I know there are certain legal situations where an official marriage changes who has certain rights, but aren’t those same rights available if you make other legally-official decisions E.G. a will or trusts, etc?

I’m generally curious why people get married beyond the “because I love them” when it costs so much money.

    and then it took humanity another 2000 years to move away from inheritance in favor of composition. you’d think someone would’ve realized sooner that it’s not always the right abstraction…
