I believe the stat is 50% of marriages fail, not 50% of people get divorced. This is relevant because I think a large wedding is most likely a first wedding and therefore has a much higher success rate.
Also I'd be interested in the divorce rates across income brackets. I can't make up my mind on which side would have more.

Basically divorce is much more of a "thing that happens to uneducated people" than for educated people. Divorce rate for a pair of college graduates is closer to 15%.
