Can you get married without a Marriage Officer?
Like all good answers, yes and no.
In order to be legally married and registered as such with Home Affairs you need to have a Marriage Officer involved.
However, when it comes to your wedding ceremony you do not require a Marriage Officer. You could have a friend, family member or anyone perform your ceremony and have a Marriage Officer simply take care of the legalities.
