Both the parties to the marriage must be Hindus to get married in a temple ( as per Hindu marriage act). Since either of you don't want to get converted to other religion , the only option for you to get married is through special marriage act. To get married under special marriage act, first you have to approach your local register office and apply for marriage registration. You get the required application form from the said office or you could even download the form. Now registar will display your intention of marriage in the notice board for anyone to raise objection. Usually no one will raise objection. After 30 days and before 6 months bride, groom and 3 Witnesses with their, ID card, age proofs etc must visit the register office to sign in the register for marriage. Usually on same day or on next day you will get your marriage certificate.
