About 20 light-years away, though the trip is said to take only about 4-5
weeks by FTL ship.  You'd have to say good-bye to cream, butter, probably
chocolate, and lots of other good things.  And think twice if you're
allergic to animal fur. ;-)

Either civil or religious; either is considered valid.  Civil mainly
involves legalities like child-support, rights to assets; civil partners (of
any orientation) might not even live together, though that would be unusual.
Civil unions are relatively easy to dissolve.  People take the religious
union much more seriously; it may come well into a civil marriage or after a
long relationship, once you're sure things are working out.  It is meant to
be life-long; consequently it is more difficult to dissolve, only after a
lot of official- and self-analysis as to reasons and motives.  (It is, of
course, a far more interesting ceremony than a visit to the town clerk.
Perhaps I'll find a text.....)
