what does it mean when it says Gratis in the space next to a Banns record ? thanks

[Merry]

I presume it means the marriage was conducted without charge. (it's not the banns entry though, it's the marriage entry :))

There are others in the register that say the same, one on each of the previous few pages I looked at.
