NTTAWWT, of course, but I don't see the practicality of being a couple for social purposes with any more than one person at a time. Or am I being fusty and now everybody gets +2 wedding invitations?

Congratulations on finding a social circle of people just like you.
I had an uncle who kept two families who ultimately found out about each other, both living a few blocks apart in NYC. After it became public, he'd travel with both sometimes. He always seemed happy.
Once it was all in the open, the social circles adjusted. Before it was out in the open, my impression is there was a lot of whispering and an attempt to maintain separate circles in a relatively small little neighborhood.
