Couples Who go for 'Expensive Wedding', Divorce Very Easily -Research

Shocking Revelation! A study by Economists at Emory University U.S.A. has revealed that the higher the costs of weddings, the greater the likelihood of your marriage ending in a divorce. The so-called ostentatious "dream weddings" do not necessarily mean more durable marriages, the study suggests.

Men who spent between $500  and $2,000 on a wedding ring (£310 to £1250) were 1.3 times less likely to get divorced than those who spent $2,000 to $4,000 (£1250 to £2500), according to in the US.

 

women whose wedding costs exceeded $20,000 (£12,500) were 3.5 times more likely to end up divorced than those who spent $5,000  to $10,000 (£3100 - £6200).

In particular, as compared with spending between $5,000 and $10,000 on the wedding, spending less than $1,000 (£620) is associated with half the hazard of divorce in the sample of men.
