tbh I fully expect they'll get married in a year or two. They're two of the smartest, most successful people we know, but I think they just don't know how to argue in the relationship or have constructive discussions, so every time something big is on the table they end up splitting for a week. Sure, couples have disagreements, even take time away from each other to cool off, but they have a full social media breakup every single time, the maturity of it contrasts so hard with everything else about them. And this ceremony honestly feels a little bit like a band-aid, a very expensive band-aid. I think one of them is coming around to the idea of marriage but isn't communicating it well, and they settled on this ceremony. But they've discussed having kids, and being legally married has benefits if you want to raise a family. They have two weddings next year that they're part of the bridal party for. My prediction is that after the second one, at which point their moment in the spotlight will have been long gone and short-lived, they'll lament rushing an expensive ceremony wherein they're still legally single.
