 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?

 Funny story.  I was a little kid when my recently-divorced godfather showed up at a party with his girlfriend.  When I asked her about her job at the union, to which she responded  "What union?" my father smacked me and told me to start the grill. 
I figured it out when we went to a barbecue with the girlfriend who did work at the union.
