What cons do you see? I am honestly interested as i can see none, a vow of trust and love is a great thing to show. But there are other ways to show love and trust that doesn't involve a contract if you catch my drift.

Mostly just if boyfriend/girlfriends have kids, It's easier to walk away, Where as a marriage holds the person together. That is pretty much it. I do think having a "wedding" or a "party " is also good for the relationship, So maybe couples should throw a big party with the families to help celebrating their relationship.
I agree with you that a celebration of the relationship is in order, at least when new life is getting ready to show it's face. But my thoughts are that marriage or not, it's still easy to walk away.
I'll take my family as an example: My father has 2 brothers and 2 sisters. Every one of them has one or more children. One of my uncles is still married to his original spouse. The others are divorced and now with another partner, so the divorce rate in my example equals 75%.
This is not a special case, the divorce ratio in my country (Norway) is quite high. But fewer and fewer are getting married.
I feel like In Norway it may be easier to separate than in the U.S. I'm not saying the U.S. Has good laws on that. But you'd think if it's easy to divorce in Norway, People would be more whiling to take that risk, So maybe like you said it doesn't seem like a necessary thing anymore.
