That didn't strike me as weird at all. Here in Quebec you can have anyone perform the service...you just fill out some forms with the government and they give that person the power to perform that one civil ceremony for that one couple on that one day (and can only do it once in their life). Certain parts of the civil code have to be read in the ceremony to make it legal, but other than that the person performing the ceremony can pretty well write their own stuff. Although things do have to get done a lot more in advance than what was happening on House, that's for sure!

We were going to do that for my ceremony until the friend who was supposed to do it messed up and nearly cost us the legality of our marriage, forcing us to find a minister at the last minute...

But anyway, if it's done here, maybe it's also done in NJ?

(Also, I never liked Thirteen but I really hate Masters and want her gone. :P)
