I keep seeing fics - granted some of them are maybe older fics - saying WangXian (in CQL) got married when they did the three bows at the Jiang ancestor hall, but the third bow would have to be to each other? so they would NOT "have gotten stealth married, with Jiang Cheng witnessing" etc. They'd still have to do the three bows properly (and preferably with proper witnesses, etc.)
In the novel it's a bit clearer to people unfamiliar with the cultural conventions, maybe, bc we get Wei Wuxian's internal narration praying to the heavens to treat the bows they did as the first two bows and praying to "reserve this man next to me," and that they'll make up the third bow later.
