Dull ending for low-cost ceremony (5)

I believe the answer is:

trite

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dull ending' is the definition.
'trite' can be an answer for 'dull' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'ending' bit.

'low-cost ceremony' is the wordplay.
'low cost' becomes 't' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ceremony' becomes 'rite' (rite is a kind of ceremony).
't'+'rite'='TRITE'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trite that I've seen before include "Commonplace, hackneyed" , "Overfamiliar through overuse" , "used till novelty's worn off" , "Dull, unoriginal" , "Stock" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
