Your query is silent on your religion.
If you are a Hindu your marriage will be governed by Hindu Marriage Act and the procedure is as under:

1.    Application form duly signed by both husband and wife.
2.    Documentary evidence of date of birth of parties (Matriculation Certificate / Passport / Birth Certificate) Minimum age of both parties is 21 years at the time of registration under the Special Marriage Act.
3.    Ration card of husband or wife whose area SDM has been approached for the certificate.
4.    In case of Special Marriage Act, documentary evidence regarding stay in Delhi of the parties for more than 30 days (ration card or report from the concerned SHO).
5.    Affidavit by both the parties stating place and date of marriage, date of birth, marital status at the time of marriage and nationality.
6.    Two passport size photographs of both the parties and one marriage photograph.
7.    Marriage invitation card, if available.
8.    If marriage was solemnized in a religious place, a certificate from the priest is required who solemnized the marriage.
9.    Rs. 100/- in case of Hindu Marriage Act and Rs.150/- in case of Special Marriage Act to be deposited with the cashier of District and the receipt should be attached with the application form.
10.    Affirmation that the parties are not related to each other within the prohibited degree of relationship as per Hindu Marriage Act
