Money has to go out somewhere, like the wedding dress, the grooms clothes, catering, flowers, the cake. They all cost money.

They do, but I think what the person is saying is that 'weddings' cost money, but 'marraiges' don't. What I mean is that - in the UK for example - it's about a hundred pounds to marry, you simply turn up with witnesses and that's it, you're married. It only costs money if you have the dress, the guests, the cake etc. like you named. If this person is simply looking to get married, without the huge ceremony and celebrations, then they probably could do it pretty cheap, or for next to nothing
It'll probably be better that way too. If cost of living is as expensive in Sweden as the posters have indicated, then it makes sense to save money and use it for an apartment or education etc., rather than on one day that means little in the scheme of things, not when the goal is to simply unite with the person you wish to spend your life with.
