Yes. Marriage is very sacred and important to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). They believe that marriage is a part of God's plan and that marriage and parenthood are part of the purpose of life. They also believe that marriage is for eternity and that married couples continue together in heaven after death. Marriage is so special that according to some Mormon scriptures marriage in the Mormon Temple will allow some to become gods, although interpreting these scriptures is not easy. Mormons are taught to look forward to marriage from the time they are children.
Typically, a Mormon wedding ceremony is very small and limited to only close family and friends. However, Mormons are notorious for holding huge wedding receptions. It is customary to invite extended family (even in very large families) from both sides, friends, and even the entire congregation for the reception. Many Mormon couples (especially in Utah where congregations can be very large) expect a thousand guests at their receptions. (as an example, I had 15 guests at my ceremony and 700 at my reception)
Mormon churches and temples will perform and host weddings and receptions at no charge, so many Mormons (and even non-Mormons) choose to hold their wedding celebrations at a church building.

January 6th is Epiphany and the end of the Christmas season in the Catholic Church, which celebrates Christmas from December 24 to January 6.

Is it still illegal when you get married without even getting registered at the temple?
As this is in the LDS Temples category I will answer it from that perspective - Laws vary by country, but in the United States, Mormon Temples and those ordained as Temple Sealers are recognized as authorities who can bind a legal marriage. If you are married in a Mormon Temple, it is recognized as a legally binding marriage by the government. It is NOT illegal to get married in a Mormon temple, and the Church has to operate under the laws of the government in performing a marriage within their temples. If you do not get married in the Temple, but are married by another authority (bishop, priest, civil authority) it is still a legally binding marriage, assuming you went through the proper channels. It is not recognized as an eternal marriage by the Church, but it is certainly a legal marriage and is recognized by the Church as such. Your marriage does NOT need to be registered in the temple in order to be considered valid by the church.
Will Mormon men and women be in the same heaven?
Yes. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) teaches that men and women are equal in importance to God and that He will reward them equally. Women will go to the same heaven as men. The Church also teaches that couples who were married in the Church's temples (or 'sealed', if they joined the Church after marriage) will continue their marriage in heaven. How would they remain married in heaven if they weren't in the same heaven?

Do you have to be baptized to be married in a Mormon church?
You do not need to be baptized to be married in a Mormon church. However, you do need to be baptized to be married in an LDS (Mormon) Temple. The temple is where members of the church are married for "time and all eternity", believing that through the power of priesthood authority which was restored to the earth through Heavenly Messengers to the prophet Joseph Smith, their marriage will be valid after death.
