Ask your partner what they want. Then do that. Your opinion on this matter is not particularly important ;)

Your opinion on this matter is not particularly important ;)

Although you should bear in mind there is a correlation between the amount spent on getting married and the likelihood of divorce.

Is that a positive or a negative correlation?
Positive, the more you spend the more likely divorce.
The more you spent, the richer both of you are. The richer both of you are, the easier it is to afford getting divorced.
Possibly although that would be fairly easy to filter out in a study.
Yes, although one isn’t necessarily causative of the other.

Feeling sorry for the people that go in a marriage with those kind of sentiments about their partner, or about relationships/marriage in general.
