I’m in a relationship with my step brother, no blood relation involved and our parents are married. We’d like to get married ourselves and I was wondering if anyone knows how to go about it or if anyone has experienced a similar situation. I’ve tried google but it’s come up with nothing. We’re soon to be welcoming our first child into the world and would love to be able to take the next step in our lives.
Whilst I understand some people will disagree and be uncomfortable with our life choices, I’m not asking for your personal opinions on my relationship. I just want to know if I can marry the love of my life.

Of course you can! Just go get married.
You’re not blood related. What you do is no body else’s business. Go take the next step😃.
There's nothing stopping you from getting married. Your parents marriage does not even make you legally related.
Absolutely nothing stopping you getting married!
All the best with your journey!
I think you'd be surprised how often this happens. If you're happy, meh, who cares what people think.
Unless one or both of you were legally adopted by the corresponding step parent (which would make you legally siblings) there's nothing stopping you getting married or nothing additional you need to do.
So proud of the responses so far here. I dont know any specifics in relation to your questions but obviously you were apprehensive of judgement so I had to kudos to the ladies responding.
Goodluck on the arrival of bub and may you have a long a happy marriage ❤
You’re step siblings, not full blood siblings do what you want. I’d never marry someone I’ve ever seen as a brother. But if it was never like that for you guys why not? 100% unrelated. You can marry each other. No one should care.
I'd probably stop calling him your step brother now though 😂
As revolting as it is there is nothing legally stopping you from marrying breeding and marrying him. But i would probably stop referring to him as your step brother 🤮
Read below .. theres a response for people like you there.
In my opinion there’s nothing revolting about it. Your understanding of their situation may be completely different to what it actually is. There’s been nothing stated about them growing up as steps.
If you weren't raised together I probably wouldn't call him your brother! Just call him your partner and that your parents are also married to each other.
Guys, I'm sure she doesn't go around calling her partner her step brother on a day to day basis 😂
I imagine her phrasing was just for the purpose of clarifying her question!
Sweet Jesus your kids are going to get bullied in school
How?
Brother sister/ Aunty uncle
I actually have to agree, to bring children into this kind of distinction is just selfish and wrong
Seriously? The kids aren’t going to be calling them auntie and uncle! They will call there parents mum and dad.
Nobody will even know. Even at grandparents day at school it’s not going to be noticed.
You would have no idea how many times steps have gotten married. They aren’t even half siblings.
Can you ppl not read ??? Aww diddums, Comprehension is not your strongest point is it , she clearly mentioned she isnt interested in your opinions, you bunch of judgy bitches. She asked if they could marry legally. That's it. There are so many blended families these days of all sorts , and as long as it's not underage or incest then who the fuck cares? God I smell the fresh cuttings of your perfect green lawns from here and there are no weeds in your gardens are there?
Their children they bring forth wont be bullied unless they are friends with kids who have parents like you , that would encourage the bullying. Thats how kids learn to be bullies about something like this, thru parents like you who talk about your disdain for other ppls life choices around them.
They are not related in the slightest so your unwanted opinion on what you think of their choice is void.
It's not really an issue. My siblings have been around since I was born or 2. 1 blood, the rest steps. I just call them my brothers and sisters. But if we'd met as teenagers or adults they wouldn't be siblings, they'd be the children of the man mum started dating etc. It's not uncommon. Fyi... It's legal to marry your first cousin, and they're blood.
No different to parents of couples that have a relationship, mother of one and father of the other.
You know why kids bully? Because they have parents like you who can't mind their fucking business! People like you pass on your judgement and prejudice to your children, continuing the vicious cycle of meanness and creating a new generation of people who feel entitled to say and do shit with no regard to how it makes people feel.
Seriously, do better...
You go about it by getting engaged.
My best friend’s sister is married to her ‘stepfathers’ brother.
The sister met her now husband when they were younger and got married, then her mum met the husbands (older) brother fell in love and also married.
The sister and her husband have 4 kids together, none of them bullied at school. The mother and brother didn’t have children due to their ages.
Relax and marry away 🥰 Chances are most people wouldn’t make the connection anyway 🤷🏻♀️
