Short version: probably not. While for State law purposes, sometimes premarital cohabitation is taken into account for, say, alimony, the feds are concerned with whether the legal marriage did or did not last ten calendar years before one person can claim under another's Social Security. You should re-check directly with them, but my guess is, no.
