A new study says the secret to a long marriage could be starting life together with a cheap wedding.
Couples who spend a lot of money on their big day or invite just a handful of friends and family are more likely to end up divorcing.
Researchers discovered that ten percent of marriages that started with a wedding costing more than £20,000 broke down within three years.
They also found that 34 percent of couples who had ten or fewer guests at their wedding ended up divorcing within a decade.
The data proves that expensive weddings can be bad for marriages because of the risk of debt.
But more guests are good for marriages because they affirm the choice to commit to one person.
The study of 2,000 people contradicts a claim that the average cost of a wedding had risen to £30,000, not including the honeymoon.
The study also found the average cost of a wedding had risen from £3,729 in the 1960s to peak at £9,832 in 2010.
