This spread was done for the male counterpart of the couple as que querent.

Question: are my partner and I getting married?

8 of cups: he’s been thinking about it. Seriously considering it and weighting down the options.

King of Pentacles: This one tells me he feels superior in this relationship and that it’s not really a balanced partnership?

Reversed King of Cups: He doesn’t really feel 100% sold on the idea of getting married, he isn’t getting as much emotional fulfullement as he wants.

2nd row 5 of cups: Hes grieving, but what is he grieving? 7 of pentacles: The relationship has been such a time investment that he think he should propose, but isnt particularly excited about it. The Hanged Man: I think that that previously mentioned grief is taking his whole headspace he cant really think about anything else right now - getting married included.

3rd row: Rever page of pents and 5 of pents: Hes worried abut finances. Is he financially ready to get married? Will they be able to afford life? 2 of swords: He really cant decide. I think it ties together with the 8 of cups.

TLDR: My interpretation is that he has seriously thought about getting married, but ultimately he’s worried about being financially ready. He knows he’s invested a lot of time and energy to this relationship but ultimately isn’t completely sold on it. I see some power and emotional imbalances in the couples dynamic - and like his head is in the clouds right now, thinking about grief, or grieving the relationship as it was before?. So ultimately I think this spread isn’t a clear yes/no but its saying that he’s seriously considering it but is still in the desicion limbo. He just isn’t ready right now.

Are they getting married?
