Quakers have been performing unregistered marriages for over 200 years. Quakers, house churches, and many independent churches will gladly perform them even today. And guess what? Because these pastors and elders are not licensed with the state, there is no penalty.
Remember, in marriage, "legal" means subject to state legalities not "illegal".
