Americans, how does the Justice of the Peace work?

Yes, but almost all of the “ceremony” part is tradition, not a required part of the process. If you just want to go to a government office and have your marriage registered as a bureaucratic matter, you can do that. If you want a traditional Christian religious ceremony followed by a party where you (or your parents) pay to get a few hundred of your closest friends blackout drunk, you can do that, too. If you want to design your own unique wedding experience, go for it! (There are even a few jurisdictions where you have the option of marrying yourselves as your own officiants, rather than being married “by” some authority figure.)

I also know people who would either deliberately avoid those restaurants on their birthday or make sure no one told the server, so they wouldn’t have to be sung to.
