All I can think of after reading this is a wedding full of badly represented leprechauns.

Lots of interesting points have come up but there is something I want to ask all the non-Australian, do you have de facto partner laws?

it is all the hassle of divorce without the marriage!

IIRC these work on a state basis, even though the link dosn't mention this. The more generic term is "common law marriage".

I have never heard specific benefits to being married, most of the benefits are tied up with whether you have children or not.

Even with all the fuss about the "marriage equality" referendum it's hard to find the what the legal status of marriage actually does in Australia. Though the de facto partner law article mentions "rights and responsibilities". Which appear to include quite a bit about property ownership and financial entanglement.
