Yeah, there was some discussion about this after the series finale, as you can probably imagine, but what helped out was the EPs saying in a few interviews that "Mom and Dad" referred to Nick and Adalind, and that it was safe to assume they were together in the 20 years later epilogue to add to the "fairy tale" ending they ultimately wanted. Your point about couples living together without getting married is well taken, but I think in this instance, knowing what we know about these characters and what the EPs have said, it's okay to update their relationship. After Eve's big monologue to Nick in episode 611, that really helped free the ties that had bound him to her, perhaps what finally allowed him the ability to tell Adalind he loved her without having any mixed feelings of regret and move forward with their relationship.
