I was married three weeks after asking her father. It was a big culmination. Not that expensive because the family pitched in for food and her brother acted as DJ. I attended church then, which made that easier.
Alternative locations - outdoors. I have a park nearby w/a gazebo. That puppy seems to busy every week. Since it's a city park, I'd guess you contact the city. No preacher, no problem. Find a justice of the peace. My father used to do that, and since he was so happy to be asked, he didn't charge most people (exception).
