Given that, I would say that what you would want when time was of the essence was to declare yourselves wed in front of a witness. That should do. If you have the time to make it slightly more formal by declaring what dowry or bridegift there will be later, sharing food and drink, and finally retiring to a private spot for a quick consummation, that should seal it. Do it in front of the shrine of Ernalda if you can, and a priestess as witness to the vow is always nice. The families may scream like hell, but provided the spouses are of age, I would consider it valid.

I might have asked this before, but if you wanted to
get married in a hurry -- one partner was going off to
a battle or duel that might prove fatal -- what's the
minimum ceremony/declaration/action that would form a
valid marriage?
