Do you think it will be an advantage to make my Thai wedding legal in my home country?

I am getting married in Thailand soon, i am Australian, she is Thai. I have read on the internet about making my Thai marriage 'legal' so the Aust goverment recognize the marriage. But after speaking to someone who is retiring in Thailand soon it sounds like i may have to bribe a lot of people in Thailand for this to happen? And my fiance phoned up the Embassy in Bangkok to ask about this, they told her they don't know how we can do this!!?? Any help would be greatly apprieciated. :o)

1. You can't register a foreign marriage in Australia. You can only get a certificate of Impediment marriage which states that you are legally able to marry (first link). As for bribing? You'd be bribing Australian officals at the Australian embassy and BDM to try to make that happen (something I would not recommend).
