This graph shows us a couple interesting things.
- Marriage rates are falling. Pretty drastically.
- After thirty the chances of ever getting married really start to drop. You could say that men are not interested in marrying women after 30.

I think after looking at this - https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/marriage_rate_2018/marriage_rate_2018.htm - I understand the reason for the variation. I think it’s likely a rise in marriages other than the first one, that make the number of absolute marriages per year look closer percentage wise than the graph shows.
