Predictions of a dip in New Zealand's wedding business, when Australia legalises same sex marriage.

The legislation is being put before the Senate today after the country voted in favour of marriage equality.

Sydney marriage celebrant, Steven Lee told Mike Hosking some same sex couples have previously been crossing the ditch to get married.

"But it's only been with their very nearest and dearest because they can't afford to fly everybody there, so they have a big party back home. It will be interesting to see what happens to the numbers I suspect they will drop a little bit."
