Hey, Genealogists! A question about weddings in the 1930s

I'm doing some genealogy, and I just got a copy of my grandparents' marriage register (1931, New York state). It's signed by a pastor and witnessed by the pastor's wife.

They lived 70 miles away and in a different state, so I'm guessing they came across the state line because my grandmother was under 18. Around the corner from the Town Clerk's office is the Methodist church that the pastor was affiliated with. So, did they just show up at the church and get a pastor to officiate their wedding? Or would the pastor have been hanging out at the Town Clerk's office ready to officiate? Would there have been vows?
