OH, I agree the whole wedding arc-clone thing was too convoluted for my tastes... (even as the biological scientist, that I am)
I mean first off, the signing of the registrar (in Australia anyway, and I presume Britain as well) is
ALMOST ALWAYS done AFTER the ceremony... as in:
walk up isle---say "I do"
then either on the alter or in a separate room, the registry is signed... together, with the couple, the celebrant, and at least two other witnesses present who sign along the dotted line in order for the wedding to be legal...
as it happened in INPU, this marriage would not be legal...
and my version of events is also more in keeping with the wedding from season 1 (any objections/rebuttals are welcome as it was over 10 years since I have seen that season...)
