I would really like my best friend to marry my fiancé and I. Is this possible?
It
would only be possible if your friend qualifies to be a temporary
marriage commissioner. As of July 1, 2004, only judges, senators,
Alberta MPs and Alberta MLAs are able to act as temporary marriage
commissioners in Alberta.
However, in special cases where a permanent commissioner is not
available, Alberta Government Services can allow someone who is
not a judge, senator or elected official to act as a temporary marriage
commissioner.
Additional
information and application forms are available from Alberta Government
Services at www.gov.ab.ca/gs/
under Vital Statistics.
