Splashing the cash on the big day isn't so much a cause of splitting up, but more so a feature of couples who tend to get divorced the most.
According to a new study conducted by economics professors Andrew Francis-Tan and Hugo M Mialon, the more you spend on your wedding, the more likely you are to divorce.
The Independent reports they discovered that couples who drop more than €16,500 on a wedding were 1.6 times more likely to divorce than those who spent about €1,000.
Very interesting, indeed.
Similarly, men who spent about €3,000 on an engagement ring were 1.3 times more likely to legally split than those who spent a lot less.
There are a few reasons why this might happen too.
The first is that rich people are more likely to be unhappy and divorce which, you know, might be a thing.
But the second, more likely, scenario is that due to the cost of divorce itself, maybe who people who aren't spending a lot on weddings simply don't have the money for a divorce.
As well as this, if you get married later in life or married a second time, you probably won't spend as much money on the ceremony.
And it's these marriages that are more likely to last.
