Weddings are expensive. Marriage costs almost nothing.

Divorces have a reputation money wise as well. ;)
Can be expensive.

Ours was about £500, 25+ years ago. Still together now.

Depends: marriage can be expensive for a rich asshole marrying a piece of crap who's terrible at spending someone else's money.
For certain kinds of rich people to whom being able to waste money is a demonstration of their self-worth, having a spouse who spends money like some people breathe air is a feature, not a bug.
To be fair it’s not like they’re burning banknotes, that money goes somewhere.
