No wonder people never get around to marrying!
You pay for a marriage license, and then you pay for someone to solemnize the marriage, at which point you pay to have a marriage certificate, and god forbid someone changes their name.

We did pay for a $70 fee for license but not for solemnizing the marriage and nothing for the certificate. I suppose they were included with the church.
As for the name change, I never paid anything except a $10 fee to get a SIN card with my new name. It was a more of a slight hassle to change the name on SIN, health card, bank and what not. I didn't change the name on my birth certificate. I am currently stuck with my married name because it costs $120 to change it back to my maiden name while we are separated. Once I get a divorce, it is free to change it back.
We decided on a civil ceremony. Not religious and less hassle. I don't know if I am going to stick with my maiden name or take on thechekist's when we marry. I still have plenty of time to think about that though.

Figures. Just more ways for the government to get their greedy hands on our money.

I'm just a little disturbed about how many times the government nails you for getting married.
