acte de mariage (Belgium)
I found this in a marriage certificate issued by the Commune of Schaerbeek in Belgium:
at the end of the certificate it says:
"remplaçant momentanément le titulaire empêché. Renvoi approuvé. Lecture faite ils ont signé avec nous."
What do they mean by this? The certificate dates back to the 60s. Both spouse were present at the ceremony so this is not a marriage by "procuration" either? so who is the "titulaire empêché"?

officer of the civil registry
I believe it is the person who substituted for the regular officer of the civil registry who was not able to perform or sign the certificate of marriage.
Note from asker:
| That could be..however it is "titulaire" which mean the holder or owner that is confusing me |

: For Asker: "titulaire" also means "incumbent', which fits here (or "officer" which is more suitable in this context however)
