Where is it written in the bible that in order to be married in God's eyes it must be done before a man of cloth, justice of peace or anyone for that matter. I was asked this question and looked a for a bit found nothing asked around and got nothing.

A ceremony must be conducted, it can be five minutes or five hours.. but the important thing is that you say the vows and obtain a marriage license and fill out that paper work. After Eve was created from Adam's rib, God married them. And Jehovah God proceeded to build the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman and to bring her to the man. 23 Then the man said: “This is at last bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh. This one will be called Woman, Because from man this one was taken.” 24 That is why a man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh. 25 And both of them continued to be naked, the man and his wife, and yet they did not become ashamed. Genesis 2:23-25

This is a difficult question to answer because the Bible nowhere explicitly states at what point God considers a couple to be married. What constitutes marriage in God’s eyes? It would seem that the following principles should be followed. (1) As long as the requirements are reasonable and not against the Bible, a couple should seek whatever formal governmental recognition that is available. (Romans 13:1-7; 1 Peter 2:17). (2) A couple should follow whatever cultural and familial practices are typically employed to recognize a couple as “officially married.” (3) If possible, a couple should consummate the marriage, fulfilling the physical aspect of the “one flesh” principle. What if one or more of these principles are not fulfilled? Is such a couple still considered married in God’s eyes? Ultimately, that is between the couple and God. God knows our hearts (1 John 3:20). God knows the difference between a true marriage covenant and an attempt to explain away, or justify, sexual immorality.

With a little bit of imagination, a lot of fill in the blanks and some cut and paste abilities, the Bable can say anything you want it to
