I guess because Alaska is seriously vast and there weren't enough preachers to go around, we have a law on our books that says ANYONE can perform the marriage for anyone else, once in their lifetime. So, I could perform a marriage ceremony that was as legally binding as any church or civil ceremony for any two consenting adults, in Alaska. :)
I kinda like that because the ceremony can be anything the people want it to be.
If (HUGE IF, that man last name of Fillion would serioulsy have to propose) my SO wanted a religious sort of churchy wedding I'd likely go along with it if it was really important to him, but for me to be committed body, heart and soul, does not require a ceremony. Just a decent guy. Which seems to be a lot harder to find these days. Sigh.

Though my soul may set in darkness
It will rise in perfect light.
I have loved the stars too fondly
To be fearful of the night.

My H and I got married that way - we had an Elizabethan panelled room with a big stone fire-place and stained glass windows, so we had the ambience without the religiosity, and a civil ceremony with proper vows, (though without the 'obey' bit - I don't obey anybody.) It was secular, but it satisfied older members and friends of the families (including some elderly religious ones who were very worried about a 'godless' wedding.) So we have a happy commitment to each other that we made in public in front of people we chose to be with us.
And then we had a massive party with an Irish band and a lot of alcohol.
Spiders - ack. My cat just stares at them. Too lazy to catch anything, including his breath.
Well, back many eons ago when the exMrFMF and I got married by a "Justice of the Peace" that looked like Yoda. The ceremony was in my brothers living room. He still mentioned God, as in - Gathered here blah blah blah God blah blah and What God has blah blah blah. But he did say the power vested in him by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
