In Alberta, your ceremony may be a religious ceremony (performed by religious representatives) or a civil ceremony (performed by a marriage commissioner authorized by Ministerial appointment).
An Alberta marriage commissioner is a person authorized to legally perform civil weddings here in Alberta.
In Canada, under the Civil Marriage Act (assented to July 20, 2005): “Marriage, for civil purposes, is the lawful union of two persons to the exclusion of all others.”
