There was huge variation in medieval weddings.
For royalty, there was usually quite a lot of pomp and ceremony, though there are royal weddings recorded that were very modest, with only a very few witnesses.
For most people, weddings were very unlike Church weddings of today. A Church ceremony was not required until the 16th century, and the actual marriage consisted of exchanging vows. This could be done in private, even without witnesses. For people with little wealth, permission from family was required in some places, but not in others. So there were large areas of medieval Europe where a couple would simply appear in public one day, telling everyone they were married, and that was that. Even registering the marriage in the Church was not necessary in most places. But you could not get a divorce, even though there were no witnesses to the marriage.
