if one of you is an indian and possess residential address that will be enough, under special marriage you can marry, apply it right away, within a month notice will be issued and you have to marry within next 3 months, so you can get married in the next month, so 60 days you can very use and it shall be fruitful, tell the registrar not to send it to parents, take friends along for witnesses. It is a easy process, not to worry at all.
