Sounds like you just want to have an event and invite guests as far as any neighbor is

concerned. (Like a superbowl party) Just do it. There is nothing that they can do

about it. If you think they will disrupt the party, tell the police you are having an event

and let them know ahead of time what you are planning. I see no reason to bring the

"legality" of your ceremony into the issue. Many religions have all services in the

home. In any case, as far as the law is concerned, you are not getting married

because you do not have a license. So its just a private ceremony. It sounds like

idle threats. Ignore the neighbors.
