In Monday’s episode of The Hills we saw a teaser for next week’s finale that showed Heidi, Spencer and Stephanie walking into a courtoom to legalize their Mexican wedding.

“I, Heidi, take thee, Spencer,” Montag coos in the preview.

Despite all the official trappings, the tease of legitimate nuptials for the pair may be just that. A Los Angeles Superior Court official said Tuesday that MTV was recently granted permission to shoot in a courtroom in Beverly Hills, but it was done after hours � and that’s not one of their judges sitting on the bench in “The Hills” footage.

MTV was granted permission to film “what purported to be a wedding outside of court hours” at the Beverly Hills courthouse, court spokesman Allan Parachini said Tuesday. He did not know who the participants were in the wedding, but Parachini said court officials wanted the filming to be treated as a news event.

The preview for next week’s season finale features a wood-paneled courtroom with the California state seal perched on the wall behind a judge. Civil ceremonies are sometimes performed at the Beverly Hills courthouse, but not in the manner portrayed in the brief preview. If a judge does preside, it is typically in chambers during a break, Parachini said.

So, the Pratts are not legally married still… A symbolic marriage is pretty pointless, don’t you think?
