Nothing made the replacement KG officially the replacement. It was just
smeone who prepared in case the understudy was needed. See Hilkhos
Avodas Yom haKippurim 1:3, who pasqens accordingly (following R' Pappa
on Yumo 12a-b).

Very unlike what a marriage that might prove pointless would do to a
person's life.

Tir'u baTov!
