Are you Hindu? In that case, as per Section 8 of Hindu Marriage Act 1955 otherwise under Special Marriage Act.
there is variation in application forms.
Documents required are four passport size photographs, proof of age and residence of both the parties i.e., husband and wife, who should be of marriagable age. Beside this a witness is required who should either be a gazzetted officer or PAN Card holder.
Under Special Marriage Act 28 days notice of intended marriage is issued.
Engage local lawyer.
