They go to the town hall and say I do and have a slamming party after wards.

They have a civil wedding, usually at a city hall or some other official institute that is authorized to marry them. There's no ritual really, they go through the formal procedure where they both give their consent (that means saying "I do" to a wedding oath and signing papers that make them officially married). They have best men with them and they can invite other people to be present too, although some choose not to. It's a simple procedure and nothing like a ritual really.
I got married this way.

A government ritual. A certified person just reads a few lines from a book, it's pretty simple. Did you not know that government is the new religion?

Whatever ritual they choose so long as they complied with state laws regarding taking an oath before a person authorized to administer marriage oaths.
The legal marriage oath does not refer to God or anything other than agreeing to be legally married.

maybe just a Justice of the Peace or anyone that is certified to married them by the laws of their state. As far as rituals, they can do whatever.

There are several types of weddings to choose from. The sky is your limit.
Examples: Tropical, South America, Africa, Asia, ext.
Note: In Florida a Notary can sign to couples into wedlock. All you need is your legal packet and marriage license.

I've never been to such a wedding so I can't say for sure. But I imagine that they would get married in a normal ceremony just to get the tax benefits, appease their freinds and families and symbolize their love.

Might be the basic marriage ritual for tradition sake.

How about just a civil service and honest promise..? That seems reasonable to me.
But I'm guessing that the bride would want to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on flowers and a dress and all of the things that, to her, have always stood to mean "wedding" ...
Ugh... I think I'll stay single a little while longer.

A registry officemarriage and they might also have a marriage celebration with their own vows etc and perhaps some readings of something meaningful to them.
