It would not be considered a legal marriage at that point. A license needs to be executed and a certificate issued.

Marriages are made legal by a marriage license that is issued by the state, not by the church. The law does not stipulate that wedding ceremonies must be performed by an ordained minister. Since the US enjoys freedom of religion, you are free to use any religious or non-religious marriage ceremony you like. Your father can perform a ceremony without being an ordained minister.

you cannot be issued a license without a certi. Technically, yes.
