I am interested in the input of others on polyamory becoming polygamy. While I as a general rule could care less what anyone thinks about my partners and I being polyamorous, I hesitate at plural marriage. A portion of this is probably from the social stigma still ingrained in my brain from childhood but also because of the legal ramifications. I have never heard of anti-polygamy laws enforced in Wisconsin, but I also have never met any polygamists in Wisconsin.
Lovey and I were planning on marrying in the fall. Both because we love each other and because we have three kids in our blended family who do not have another parent (both of us are single parents with the exes being off the grid). So we have stepped up and are raising each other's children.
Lovey and Kitty have dated off and on for twenty years. She has three children by a different man who also is not in the picture (got caught abusing the kids). Lovey is the only stable male figure these kids have ever had since their BIO turned out to be a POS.
Kitty has expressed an interest in marrying Lovey as well. She is not interested in a legal ceremony so that wouldn't be an issue but she does want a marriage before god. I am not opposed to a ceremony expressing their love and union. I am more concerned about Lovey being arrested for being polygamous if people find out.
Kitty and I have a very good relationship and co-parent our brood very well so I have no qualms about her officially joining our family.
I guess I am just interested in other poly opinions or experiences with making it unofficially official.
