[UPDATE: Though this is a practically important matter, it also just cries out "joke fodder" to me. I have no idea how it would go ("a rabbi, a Mormon, and a bride walk into a bar …"?), but I can just feel there's something there! Please post your candidates in the comments.]
From Times of Israel (Jeremy Sharon):
In a decision published on Friday, Judge Efrat Fink [of the Lod District Court in Israel] ruled that the Population and Immigration Authority of the Interior Ministry is obligated to register as married couples who wed through an online civil marriage service carried out under the auspices of the US state of Utah.
The decision means that Israeli couples can now get married in civil ceremonies without leaving the country, granting a de facto victory to advocates in the decades-long struggle for civil marriage in Israel.
