You'd be considered common law married up here and have most of the same legal rights.

A slight nitpick is that many states have abolished common law marriage.

According to wikipedia:

Common-law marriage can still be contracted in eleven states (Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, New Hampshire (posthumously), Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah) and in the District of Columbia.
