A. Weddings are expensive af

Understandable. One cousin did only the civil ceremony/legal wedding but never the fancy for show one. She and her husband felt the money that would have gone toward the wedding is better spent as a down payment for their house.

B. No urge to involve the government in our relationship

Fair enough. Are you two still able to file taxes as partners? If filing taxes as a married couple versus partners is no different, then I can see why some don't even bother with the civil wedding.

I think ironically couples are more likely to split when married due to the added pressure

Interesting point. Never thought about it this way before. Can you please elaborate?
