Is it possible the wedding was external pressure on Jane Austen?
It’s pretty commonplace now that traditional audiences, studio execs, editors, and even other creators push creators in to tropey “they got together in the end” endings. Is it possible that was true then as well?

Elizabeth's principle objection to Darcy was that in detaching Jane and Bingley, he had been the "means of ruining, perhaps for ever, the happiness of a most beloved sister". Darcy's correcting this mistake is therefore absolutely essential to reconciling himself to Elizabeth. The Jane-Bingley arc is also the longest in the novel and of secondary importance only to the Elizabeth-Darcy arc. The novel could not really have had a happy ending without resolving it.
