What could be more important than striving to defeat the patriarchy by rejecting the institution of marriage on the grounds that it was once oppressive to women?

:shakehead: It's a bit like refusing to go to Barbados because it used to be associated with slavery.

It does kinda make sense for people who want the legal benefits of being married but without having a wedding, as it would stave off the "what, you're getting married and not having a party???" questions from friends and family.

If pissing away all your life savings on a party that would almost certainly be ruined by assorted clinically diagnosed mental family members is being "cheapskates", then yes.

My word yes, when the law is forcing you into a situation where you might, theoretically, have to speak the phrase, "No, we're not having a party" then fascism has clearly crept in without our noticing. Pure evil.
