To legally marry, you must meet the requirements of the country/state that you get married in. Most places require that you obtain a marriage license through the court house and have the ceremony performed by an authorized individual. Once they have solemnized the ceremony, they document it on the license and it is returned to the court, who will then issue a marriage certificate. Anything else is not considered a legal marriage.
