Hi Candy Proclamation Is when No parent Is willing To Consent to the Marriage

 

Might explain here

Mike

 

If no parent is willing and able to proclaim the intended marriage, the proclamation may be made by the next of kin of either of the parties to the intended marriage.

If no parent is willing and able to proclaim the intended marriage and no next of kin of either of the parties to the intended marriage is willing and able to proclaim the intended marriage, the proclamation of the intended marriage may be made by any person authorized by the parties to the intended marriage.  At least 7 days before the date on which the marriage is to be solemnized, a person who has proclaimed an intended marriage under this section, or a person on their behalf, must provide the chief executive officer with a declaration, in a form acceptable to the chief executive officer, of the proclamation of the intended marriage. Immediately after the solemnization of the marriage, one of the spouses must make a written record of the solemnization and send the record to the chief executive officer. The record must be signed by both parties to the marriage and by 2 witnesses

Thank you very much for the information.  Since both were immigrants to Canada, there may not have been other family here.
