Judge Cude just told me he performed a "proxy wedding" today on the courthouse steps - to which I replied, "what in the heck is a proxy wedding?"
Apparently that involves a soon-to-be-spouse who cannot attend the wedding due to reasons beyond his control (i.e. military service), so he signs a "proxy" allowing someone else to stand in his stead and recite his "I do."
Honestly, I had never heard of such a thing.
But here's the kicker: The wedding today involved an absent groom but the bride allowed her sister to stand in as his proxy. So we had two women standing before Judge Cude saying "I do" on the Wise County Courthouse steps. Surely that's never happened before. Good times.

what's the picture from??
Ahem...
A LINK with information regarding the August 10, 2003 Texas PROXY marriage between Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko while he was aboard the International Space Station and U.S. citizen Ekaterina "Kat" Dmitriev resident of Houston, Texas. The ceremony took place at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
Currently ONLY Calfornia, Colorado, Texas and Montana permit proxy marriages.
I wish someone had stood in on all mine and stayed with them.
Thank you Barry for not posting my comment, I never post on here and the one time I do, you don't post it. My little _______'s feelings are hurt! :(
