Marriage is a legal status and a marriage license is required in the United States. A Christian minister cannot perform a marriage ceremony without a valid marriage license. There would be no valid marriage.

A ceremony in which two people commit under religious or social constructs is generally known as a commitment ceremony or is given a specific name by the religious sect. (e.g. convalidation, sealing, handfasting)
