While the rules on who and how couples may be married vary from religion to religion or even church to church, the majority of Christian religions make no distinction between a person who has legally entered or has illegally entered a country. They will still allow the couple to undertake the sacrament of marriage, as long as the sacramental rules and procedures are followed.
However, in many jurisdictions ministers/priests etc are also able to marry a couple legally, and there will be rules and regulations that govern that process. So while you should be able to get a "church" wedding, you might not be able to be legally married in the eyes of the government.
