This can be done with or without a ceremony.

That's probably what I was thinking about. I wasn't aware that religious officials were acting as agents of the state.
So, in essence, if you're married by a church, you'd just be informing the government that you're married, correct? I was thinking it was something along the lines of "this isn't real UNTIL you've been married by the JOP."
