A West Australian marriage celebrant could be banned from marrying couples after she was found to have married a woman who was comatose and unable to say "I do".
Diane Caratozzolo-Waddington, of Perth, married the dying woman and her partner in October 2015.
The bride was in the final stages of cancer and was not awake for any of the wedding ceremony, according to a local newspaper Weekend Courier.
Caratozzolo-Washington pleaded guilty to purporting to solemnise a marriage when she appeared at the Rockingham Magistrates Court last week.
The court heard at the point the woman was supposed to confirm she took her partner as her lawful husband, Caratozzolo-Washington said: "Oh, she can't answer, but I know she wanted to get married when I saw her before."
