    You get a marriage license, take the proof of age and identity that they require, and you get married - that's how it works.

    If one of you is talking about moving to the other person's country of residence, well, that's another question.

    I don't exactly know what you're asking -

    Yes, you merely get a marriage license and have a pastor or judge marry you. Now that does not give either of you legal status to live in either country, for that you will have to apply for the correct visas.
