The Will-Be Weds (1913)

Jack Collins tried in every way possible to elude his prospective father-in-law and marry Helen, his fiancée. Wm. Ball and his wife try to assist the young couple by engaging a taxicab and taking them to the home of a minister. They are informed when they arrive that the minister is not at home. Helen's father, suspicious of what is about to happen, follows the eloping couple in an automobile and arrives at the minister's home just as the supposed minister is saying the last words of the ceremony. Ball, realizing that Helen's father will probably follow them, bribes the butler in the minister's home to don the minister's garb and pretend to have performed the ceremony. The exceedingly funny comedy of errors that arise from Helen's father thinking she is married, is indeed comical.
