I've been reading upon this cause im in the same situation. it seems if they dont charge you a fee for the service $50-$100 'donation' is expected (depending on whether a lot of travel is involved on the JP's part), if they do charge a set price for the ceremony then a $10-$20 tip is up to you and your other half if you feel its deserved.
Getting married by the justice of peace in Calgary is a great way to save money on your wedding plans. You can then spend a little more on your honeymoon.
Justice O'Brien
Normally, no.
*Married.
Yes. In places where same-sex marriage has been legalized, same-sex couples can be married by the same officiants as any other couple being married. Many same-sex couples choose to be married civilly, by a judge or justice of the peace, rather than by clergymembers.
The plural of justice of the peace is justices of the peace.
Of course you can, but it would not be legal unless you have an official priest/justice of the peace/captain of a ship do it.

Peace without justice is often fragile and unsustainable. In order to achieve lasting peace, addressing injustices is essential to promote reconciliation, healing, and a sense of fairness within societies. Ignoring or neglecting justice can lead to underlying tensions and grievances that may potentially disrupt peace in the long term.
Justice, peace, and war are concepts related to societal order and conflict resolution. Justice seeks to uphold fairness and equality in society, while peace aims to maintain harmony and stability. War, on the other hand, represents a breakdown of peace and justice, often arising from conflicts and disputes that cannot be resolved through peaceful means.
Some people like to get married in churches. There are some people that like to get married outdoors. Others make just do a quick wedding at the justice of the peace.
You do have to file your marriage license in court to be legally married. Failing to file can cause the marriage to become invalid.
