I've had one character be engaged and another get married.
Snow and Darkus just mutually decided that they were married after a while. There was no wedding, and rings came months later. I can't speak for Darkus, but Snow was taught very little on the whole concept of a wedding (later, when Ezri asked her to marry her and Rook, hilarity ensued). She had assumed from previous observation that it was some form of mutual agreement involving rings. Some other couples adopted this style of marriage, because I'm sure you'll recognise the pattern here is "engagement is easy; weddings are hard".
Azmythera and Edward didn't do a grand proposal. I think Az at one point let it slip that she'd like to get married some day. It turned into a discussion, which then turned into an agreement. Azmythera knew what a wedding was, and she planned on having it. She made a wedding dress and she never got to use it because I had to quit Mesalia for a while. I like to think that even if I was there, they'd never marry because of IC drama getting in the way.
The religion lore isn't finalised yet, but I'm going to assume it will reflect the time period and the Rhise and Umbriae religions will have something which encourages heteronormative, if not homophobic behaviours. I'm not sure about the Mesalian religion. I think in the end, it depends a lot on the characters.
