I had the same thing. We had my husband's uncle officiate the ceremony. He had to apply with the county of San Diego (where the ceremony was held at) to become a Deputy Marriage Commissioner. The DMC is empowered to perform Civil Marriage ceremonies during a fixed time and/or in a fixed place. Often, they are officials for a specific marriage where the couple wants someone special to perform the ceremony, after which their appointment expires. It costs about $50 or so. Contact your local county clerk's office, and they will tell you what your family friend needs to do. It involves going down to the office, filling out an application, and paying the processing fee.
