We actually could have had a completely officiant-less marriage if we wanted, with two friends signing instead of an internet-officiant (thank you, PA Quakers!)... but we opted for the officiant instead. We also wrote our own vows, though that wasn't necessary in any way for us to get married. I'm just curious... of which contract-signage do you speak?
