Yes make it legal, you can be a bride in any color you want you don't have to get married in a white pouffy dress, Mer could wear a bikini or a moomoo and still look beautiful, she could even wear scrubs and get married in the hospital's chapel.

Let's all take a moment to remember that Shonda never said they're really married, she just said she doesn't want to see Meredith in a poufy dress, which is understandable. I think something will come up this season where maybe Derek needs another surgery and Meredith needs to sign something, and somone says "you're not really married." I've seen all of these comments about a city hall wedding, but honestly, even that's too conventional for Mer and Der. My dream: They realize they're not really married the same day there's a priest or rabbi or justice of the peace who's about to go into surgery but wants to do one last ritual first, so they get married in the OR. Crazy, I know, but Meredith really does have to get married in scrubs, in my opinion.
By the way, speaking of secrets on the show, I'm a little annoyed that so little attention has been paid to McHouse (and I mean the structure, not the doctor), both by the show and by fans. I mean, come on, maybe they're not really married

Sorry, Shonda, but you are so far off the mark it's insulting. Poufy dress? Since when is that the only way to get married. Fact is IT IS NOT LEGAL....and doesn't carry the same benefits of a legal marriage.....just ask any gay couple denied the right to a legal marriage and see if THEY would be happy with a post-it ceremony....certainly would be an end to a lot a hoo-hah about equal rights, eh? Stop being a spoilsport and give MerDer the legal union the fans want....remember, no fans no show.

Uh, Shonda, you don't need to a big poufy white dress in order to get married. No bride has to wear a dress from Vera Wang and no groom has to wear a tux from Armani. My best friend got married in his apartment in t-shirt and jeans with a few people over for the celebration. No one's asking for a white dress - but people are indeed asking for a spouse declaration document.
MerDer fans, forgive me for saying this but I LITERALLY FEEL SICK everytime when Meredith and Derek call each other husband and wife. If they never bothered to make their engagement legal up to this point, why would they bother calling each other their spouses? The storyline/characters here are a bit inconsistent and contrary. It's like me calling myself a professional columnist when all I do is write in a cheap, amateur blog. I may feel like a professional at heart, but I don't foolishly inform that to people.
Don't get me wrong, I thought post-it was cute but now that I've seen where it ended up, I feel like

Why are people still worried about this? Asking isn't going to change anything.
At this point, I'm happy with POA. All legal marriages in GA aren't destined to a good ending.

I guess that the Post-it thing will make things easier if they ever break up. No ugly divorce and stuff.

@ Lisa, EXACTLY! Personally, I'd prefer a city hall, low key wedding because I think that's within character but I'd like it to be legal...it would be nice to know that Meredith overcomes another hump. I would even settle for not seeing it but it being referenced in the show so we know it's real.

Their not being married legally bugs me. For example, what do they do for their taxes???

making the wedding legal doesnt mean a poofy white dress and a full on wedding. they just have to make it legal. and shonda is really good at saying things and something else happens. she says it makes her sick, the idea of mer walking down the isle. well then she doesnt have to. this could mean they decide to make it legal.
to me it seems like dereck would like that, eventually. especially if a baby is in the future, dereck might bring it up. but who knows.

I have a feeling that MerDer legal married is a one of those hidden bombs that Shonda has under her sleeve. You know like the secret wife or Ellis attempted suicide when Meredith was 5. Those bombs, imagine if they are already legally married but we just don't know about it.

Just because Shonda says she can't picture Mer in a white poufy dress doesn't mean they are not legally married. I don't care one way or the other, but we DON'T KNOW if they have made it legal at City Hall or not.

Really I don't get what is the confusion about MerDer marriage. They are marry in their heart, is just that is not recognize by society or the government. Like many people who are married in their heart but is not legal. I mean what so confusing about that.

I think that to Shonda doesn't like to marry Merder so post-it wedding becomes post-it no legal wedding.Then she sets the matter on the dress to divert what the most important than a marriage its legality and not a dress,because a bride can be recovered only the paper and get married just the same.Now Shonda's plains are these,she cannot see married them ,so they becomes the news Romeo and Juliette of the 2010...this marriage does not know from behaviour.I don't read more her interview because she doesn't understand...

What is wrong with a city hall wedding dressed in their scrubs? Fans aren't asking for a white-poufy dress wedding, just a legal one. Meredith and Derek can run to city hall during a 'break' in their scrubs and make it legal.....
Meredith: Get this baby out of me safely and you can have whatever you want.
