SpoilerThe reason why Zev didn't want to get married was very contrived and forced - it was supposed to be an emotional reaction to an earlier trauma, but it felt more like an unfortunate rule he had to follow, or a decision he made a long time ago and just had to maintain, even if he disagreed with it now.
And all that stuff at the end with the pirates and the murdering mobster? Ridiculous and unnecessary. The conflict between the MCs could have been resolved in a much better (and believable) way.
