The number of people tying the knot is at a 20-year high, while fewer of those signing up to conjugal bliss are shedding tears over a failed marriage. Last year, there were 118,756 marriages registered in Australia, almost 2500 more than the previous year and the highest number in the past two decades. In 1989, there were 117,176 marriages. The figures are contained in a snapshot of the past 20 years from the Australian Bureau of Statistics that also shows a declining divorce trend.
