Los Angeles, Jan 20 - Actress Kristen Bell, who has been engaged to Dax Shepard for two years, says there's no need for a wedding as it will bring "too much stress".

"We consider ourselves already married - we already wear the rings, I don't want a wedding. It's too much stress," showbizspy. com quoted the 31-year-old as saying.

Bell says she now realises how "little" marriage actually means for the couple.

"I come from a very traditional household. For a while, I thought a marriage certificate was important, but the older I get, the more I see how little it means," she said.

"I think one of the most important things you can do in your life is pair up with someone else. I think living alongside someone and sharing everything with them is just beautiful," she added.(IANS)
