This is merely curiosity, as I am not doing this, but what is the etiquette stance on becoming domestic partners for insurance purposes and then getting married after the fact? I feel like I keep seeing this and I keep thinking it can't be totally kosher from an etiquette perspective.
Two friends of ours have done it (well, just the domestic partner part so far--they're not married yet), and my HR Director suggested it when I quit my job to relocate so that I didn't have to pay for Cobra (didn't do it, obviously, tempting as it was since Cobra costs a fortune!). Is it just me or is there something not totally okay with this loophole?
