Title: Getting cold feet can cost you up to $150

---------------------------------------------------


You'll be able to get married in Shelburne council chambers, if that's what you want to do, but there's a fee for changing your mind after you make the necessary arrangements.

Two members of town staff have already taken the required training, and the council has passed the necessary bylaws authorizing the service to be offered. Under the Marriage Act, the ceremony cannot be performed by a member of the council, Deputy Clerk Jennifer Willoughby said in a memo to the council.

Do you really want to get married? You can book the service for a $300 fee after you have obtained a marriage licence and completed a “civil marriage ceremony questionnaire.” But then you must attend a marriage consultant with whomever is designated to officiate.

There can be changes made for administration fees ranging from $25 to a change of date, to $50 for cancellation prior to the consultation or $150 if after the consultation.

(The $25 for date change would be payable in cash or debit; the cancellation fees would be simply withheld from a refund of the booking fee).
