AITA because I told my son that I don't believe his future marriage will last?

Son got himself a girlfriend about 6/7 months ago, I have no complaints about the girl, she's nice enough. He brought her home to meet me and my wife, everything was fine. My issue with it is that 2 weeks ago he announced that he would ask her to marry him. I thought to myself that he just had this plan for the future but he informed us that he wants to do it by next month.

My wife was over the moon with the news but I wasn't in the least. I told him that I don't believe this will work because they barely know each other, not only that but they're completely opposites. The girl is outgoing and charismatic while my son barely has enough friends, she makes him look like a dead weight not to mention that she's completely out of his league. Of course he got mad at this and so did my wife.

Now I found out that he won't be visiting us anymore and my wife has decided by herself that she will be visiting him instead. I don't see how it was wrong for me to give my opinion, it was just that, an opinion. I'm not going to get in the way of him marrying the girl.

Edit: Ok I get, I'm an asshole, I peaked at highschool, I'm jealous of my son.... The list goes on. But I'm still right that he's being stupid and I hope that you all have an asshole on your lives so when you think about doing stupid shit like marrying someone you barely know they at least try and give you some perspective.
