I have looked but cannot find what I want, I have looked at the Michigan Vital Records site, but their fees page is a bit confusing and does not clearly say how much it would cost to order a cert online and have it posted here.

Have a look at entries for Wayne County on USgenweb see if you have any luck there. Or try Random acts for a possible volunteer to go and find the info for you.
The Groom was Philip Scherer and the Bride - Margery Hetherington formerly Griffin.
They both died in the 40s and 50s.

I'm in the process of trying to get exactly that kind of record. There's a list of researchers on the Archives/Library site for Michigan. MHAL - Michigan Genealogy Research Network
My grandfather, who died in 1967, married (if his entry in the 1930 census has any truth in it - which is open to doubt) in March 1930 in (probably) Detroit. I'm in contact with a researcher who's going to work on this for me - as soon as I sort out the best way to pay.
I did try contacting a website off the researcher list, but only ever got teh auto-responses form the site - no live contact from the researcher, even though the site talked of a fairly short turnaround.
