Partner and marriage

Hi guys, I need some advice. I’ve been with my partner for a year and we are planning to get married within the next few months. This will cost us about £1000 which is very reasonable. For some reason I don’t think that he cares much about it, when he always talks about our future plans or finance costs he never mentions the marriage ceremony.
I’ve tried to tell him that it means something important to me if we were to be married but I don’t think he gets it, he thinks that already we show that we’re committed to eachother in our current relationship and doesn’t have that urge to get married. Has anyone else been in this situation ? Just to add. I don’t want to leave him I just need some kind of advice or similar stories

Do you mean he doesn't care about 'being married to you' or that 'he isn't particularly bothered about the details of the day' / 'doesn't really get involved in the planning of the day' ?

they are 2 very different things to me.
My dh wanted to 'be married to me' but just wasn't interested in all the planning of the day, the logistics if you like, and was very happy about it when I made decisions about things that really made no difference to him whatsoever.

Well i don't think that he's particularly interested in both things. I think that if he wasn't planning to have a child with me we wouldn't be even getting married lol
