    We have decided to have a simple small wedding with just immediate family. 12 guests and 4 kids (inc Matilda). In a lovely garden under a gazebo on a lake. Wedding dress, flowers for me. Rings of course. Our own song for walking down the aisle on a little CD player. The photos are also part of the venue price.

    Thats about all I think! So that is why I want something simple.

    Ours was $260. He rocked up to our venue, did the "celebranting" and the left. We also had a few opportunities to meeet up with him and talk about our ceremony. He provided us with a booklet full of vows and readings so we could pick and choose the ones we liked. We got married in NSW, and it was just over 3 years ago.

    We got married by a Salvation Army Minister. We gave him $300 in an envelope on the day. Later he freaked out and drove back to the wedding to give us $200 back! He thought it was way too much. We convinced him to keep the money and give it to one of the charities they support. We were worried that $300 might not be enough! We met with him twice to discuss the wedding, as well as a rehearsal and the actual day.
