You must get married legally as soon as possible if you want to be married.

To expand on this a little bit, the law only recognizes marriages performed by someone with a license.

If you perform the marriage ceremony, say, with a priest from Another Country who doesn't yet have his license, you may be legally married according to the Christian religion, but according to the law you're still single.

You would have to re-marry with a priest that does have a license, and they will give you a marriage certificate which you'll need to register as married according to the law.
