Marriage doesn't have to be considered settling in or down. It should be about wanting to spend the rest of your life with someone to love and share every experiences with. A wedding isn't a marriage. It isn't necessary to spend a lot of money on a wedding. It would be better to save money and put that towards a house. Getting married would be one way to demonstrate your love and commitment to that one person, in front of your family and friends. Another would be for health and/or life. Lets say one of you are in the hospital but the staff says only family members can visit. Then the person whom you are supposed to love either can't visit you or be visited by you. So much for being by their side in all aspects of life. The same goes for death. They can't automatically claim certain things, like joint finances or the like when the other has passed.
Basically, it isn't just a piece of paper. It is showing your commitment another way. It is also protecting the other in the event of a passing or even, a hospital stay. So right now, concentrate on a job, if you have one. Finishing up your education, if that is where you are in your life. Basically, do some living before you decide, that is if you do, to "settle down".

It is not necessary to waste money on a wedding at all All you need to do is go to city hall or anyone who can legally perform a marriage ceremony, have someone present to act as witness and sigh the marriage certificate that is all you need now what people want is another matter. If you don't want to get married, just don't get married If you do and you both want to save the money then elope. Next problem

A legal marriage affords the couple rights and privileges that a long-term, live-in relationship does not, such as tax breaks and what happens after the other person's death.
Weddings don't have to be expensive. My wedding cost about $700 - $50 for the marriage license, $50 for the officiant, $300 for my dress, and $300 to fly my mom in to be there. If I hadn't cared about the dress or having my mom there, it would've been a cool $100.

Weddings are not expensive. What's expensive is the parties that people decide to throw to celebrate their weddings, where they invite hundreds of people and spend tens of thousands of dollars on fancy venues, flowers, meals, string orchestras and other stuff. Nobody says you have to be that extravagant.
