I'm not sure it's directly about cost. You can have a very expensive or a very modest church wedding, and a very expensive or very modest secular wedding. (I'm reminded of the bride who told the dean of the Cathedral, when asked why she wanted to get married there, "This is the only venue where my dress will fit through the door." )
But it's probably true that if someone (or their parents) is going to spend something akin to a house deposit on one event, then they expect more of it than if they're only spending hundreds. And hence we come back around to control, even though the church is not the expensive part of the affair.
