It is not necessary that in every case the contracting parties appear personally before the priest in order to receive matrimony. A proxy or agent may be used, representing an absent party, provided that he shows credentials in writing, signed by the absentee and by the parish priest or ordinary of the place where the commission was given, or at least by two reliable witnesses.
