Good job the price of the certificate hasn't risen in line with the cost of the marriage fees...:-)!

Altogether the cost was 7s., which was made up of 5s. to the Registrar and 2s. to the Superintendent Registrar. There was an additional 2s. 6d. for the certificate of marriage if it was required. The cost of the marriage must have been a heavy one if the bride and groom were poor.
