Does the movie show Margaret + Henry's wedding?

I have seen this movie many times, but because of interruptions by my kids I don't think I have seen it completely from beginning to end! I remember the scene when Henry asks Margaret to marry him, but I can't recall seeing an actual wedding or time when they show an actual wedding. So at what point in the movie are they a married couple? Are they married when Henry's daughter is married and the scene when the Basts come to the wedding reception?

There is no wedding scene per se, but there is a scene where they sign the marriage forms or whatnot.

This was a second marriage for him and she was a step away from being an old maid, so a really lavish marriage ceremony would have been in poor taste.

I believe the film shows them being wed by a justice of the peace.

Henry did splurge on a very nice wedding reception, which was where Helen dragged the Basts and caused a scene.

ETA: Thinking upon it, I believe the reception was for his daughter's wedding. So the wedding between Henry and Margaret was very quiet indeed.
