OBJECTIVE: To identify various marriage laws.
 
Heidi, 17, and Peter, 22, want to get married. Peter is working in Alaska, while Heidi is at home in Massachusetts. Peter telephones Heidi and says,
"Let's have a proxy marriage. My brother, Tom, can be my stand-in in Massachusetts, and you can fly out here to be with me afterwards."
Heidi laughs, "That would be fun," she says, "but I don't think it 's legal. I need you here anyway to be sure I can keep my maiden name. Besides, I want you to see me in my beautiful wedding gown."
"You can get the license today," Peter replies, and we could be married tomorrow. I miss you, and I can't leave my job for three months."
   "I love you, too, but I wouldn't want anyone but you beside me when I get married. I miss you, too."
