I got Married in Vancouver myself. I know that it's quite a bit of a headache to choose between the options and put them together in a smooth sequence to build a perfect day. I think this post would be useful for those who intend to wed in Vancouver.

What are the requirements? Obviously there are some things common in all cases.

Marriage license. Yeah, you need one. In order to wed in BC you must apply for a marriage license. It's a simple procedure and takes approximately 10 minutes and $100 CAD at the Vital Statistics office in Vancouver. Anyone can get it for you, just make sure she's got picture IDs of the groom and bride. The license is valid for 3 months.

Marriage commissioner or a priest. It's up to you to decide whether you want to go social or spiritual way but one way or another you have to pick a government representative to back your wedding up with a law. The registry is available online. The ceremony costs $75 CAD. If you decide to wed at her place it's gonna cost you additional $55 CAD. If you decide to take her our then you'll cover her gas expenses. Good thing - you can take her wherever you feel, including your place, top of the Grouse Mountain, a boat, etc.

Wedding Rings. Guys, there's no requirement for wedding rings, but if you want use them, the best place to go shopping is Pacific Centre or Metropolis in Metrotown. I would advice you to get plain yellow golden rings. Thinner for the ride and thicker for the groom.

Limo. You can't go without a limo for sure.  One of the best rates and people you will find at Pearl Limo Service. Stretch sidan 8 seats ~ $115 CAD / hour (including GST). Don't get the wedding package there, get the limo only.

Restaurant. This is also an important part of the night. You may pick to spend it on the boar, but this option mostly applies to 60+ people. If you have less, then even better - you may reserve an Observatory on the Grouse Mountain. They have terrific view and high prices. Among the options I would recommend Cactus Club on Burrard.

Ceremony place. Yet again, this is totally up to you, I'm here to give advises only. If you wish to go with church - there's a nice place on Burrard - Christ Cathedral. You way do it in Stanley Park, Kitsilano beach, Grouse mountain, Queen Elizabeth Park, etc. They all have pavilions in case of the rain as well as open space.

First night. I would recommend a nice waterfront hotel like Pan Pacific. Tell them that you're just married and they will suggest nice options plus a little present from the hotel.

Photo/Video service. This part should be played by your friends. Don't get commencial professionals to do it for you. They're nuts! Prices go as high as $4000. You don't need that. Get 2 photo and 2 video cameras. Ask your friends to take pictures and shoot video for you. Make sure you use high quality equipment. Period.

And of cause, you need lots of champagne in limo, restaurant, ceremony and hotel. Don't forget your vows.

Let someone else plan your day. Man, are you serios? Are you filthy rich or something? The price range is $3000 - $10000 CAD. Ok, you're the boss. There are nice wedding packages from Viva Las Wedding. Never used them myself but the options are quite impressive.

Have a great wedding!
