As a Quaker, I'm joyful for the couple and I agree that it was a beautiful wedding.
Quakers have no clergy, but our marriages occur in a substantial period of silent worship, and the couple say their vows almost as if they were prayers, arising from the heart after each partner (and each attender) pays attention for some minutes to the Divine love at their core.
And they're legal if there's a marriage license, since the congregation appoints a committee that states' laws permit to sign. Try one!

Thanks for posting. The simplicity makes it all the more spiritually beautiful. No fancy church or wedding outfits, no fancy band, etc.
