In OOTP - the bass player for wierd sisters is getting married (in the
paper when the trio finds out that someone has ratted Sirius out).  Sounds
like marriage is marriage.  I would have to assume that the muggle
marriage license is probably used for muggles marrying wizards (especially
when the muggle finds out that their new spouse is a wizard).
