There used to be a commonly used term for "justice of the peace" marriages, and it wasn't flattering. My mother used to use it all the time, but I forget what it was. I'll ask her. It was only after about 1960 that civil ceremony marriages became widely accepted as the "equal" of the religious sacrament of marriage.

More's the pity.
