Marriage has little to do With Christianity. In point of fact, The holy ceremony of those who love each other were taking place before there was Christianity or Judaism. The love between two people is thing of wonder that has nothing to do with any religion.
Some religions have surrounded this wonder with rules, regulations, and limits.
There was a time in the USA when African Americans could not legally marry. They created a simple ceremony called "jumping the broom" and the marriages needed no organized religion to make holy their love. There are still those who love, but are surrounded by the rules, regulations, limits, and fear of the Christian Church that it will lose some control of peoples lives.
Whatever you believe, there is a wonder in another human who loves and believes in you. Having to have the blessings of any church is secondary
