A young East Texas couple celebrated their wedding day earlier than planned — thanks to a criminal court judge.

Last month, Smith County Judge Randall Roberts ordered Josten Bundy to marry his girlfriend Elizabeth Jaynes as part of his probation for his involvement in a few with her ex-boyfriend, reports ABC affiliate KLTV in Tyler, Texas. Otherwise, Bundy would be sentenced to 15 days in jail.

“[The ex-boyfriend] had been saying disrespectful things about Elizabeth, so I challenged him to a fight,” Bundy, 21, told KLTV about the fight in February. “He stepped in and I felt like it was on and I hit him in the jaw twice.”

According to court transcripts, Roberts asked Bundy at the sentencing hearing if Jaynes was “worth it.”

“You do know one of the provisions to stay on my probation is you’re going to have to marry her?” Roberts later asked Bundy.
