“Via surrogate” means that someting is done by a person who stands in for the person who should be doing that thing. For example, two people separated by large distances might be married via surrogate, where someone stands in for the bride in terms of hand-holding, exchange of rings, etc, perhaps while the two people being married listen to the priest over a radio.
