Problem asthma sees couple hold wedding ceremony in women's toilets

A couple recently changed their wedding venue from a judge's chambers to a courthouse bathroom after a relative had an asthma attack.

US couple Brian and Maria Schulz were set to tie the knot on January 2nd in New Jersey when the groom's mother had difficulty breathing.

She was taken to a women's room at the Monmouth County Courthouse, where sheriff's officers administered oxygen and called paramedics.

If they had postponed the wedding, they would have had to wait 45 days for a new marriage licence.

So one of the officers suggested holding the ceremony in the bathroom.

In a video posted to the sheriff's office Facebook page, Judge Katie Gummer performed the ceremony.

The groom's mother is now doing fine.
