From the OC Register:
An increase in the number of marriages is often an indicator of the economy, particularly
the job market, picking up, said Judith Treas, professor of sociology and Director
of the Center for Demographic and Social Analysis at UC Irvine. “People always feel
they need money to get married so they can spring $2,000 or $20,000 for the ring,

at the Hyatt,” she said. “It all costs money.”
