While it maybe referred to by many things - to avoid confusion just call it a PMV.

Just get an NOIM in Australia - no big deal most are never the right date and you can change and do any marriage any place with anyone as long as it is a recognized legal marriage by DIBP.

You need to enter Australia on the PMV once granted - then marry (any place) within 9 months of the grant date, not your arrival date in Australia.

The process is long, expensive and lots of evidences (or future/s planned for all 4 relationship categories) need to be supplied.

Each couple are different.

We had a proposal in text over Skype - we supplied that copy.

We did not have any rings - so no photos or receipts

We did not have an Engagement Ceremony.

You need future stuff to like where will you both live short and long term (get it in emails where possible), Will there be kids? when?, Who will bring in the income and how will it be spent, Who will cook, who will clean, what social events are/will and have you attended together.
