Marriage laws differ in different locations across the world.

In Islam, the only people that have to be present at a Muslim wedding are a bride's representative (usually the bride's father), and two witnesses. Muslim weddings are normally held at the Mosque or at home; they don't have to be large affairs because besides the bride and groom, only a few people need to be there.
