You should note that being a Registrar is normally a full time job. They have to be available at set hours and register whatever comes their way. (There was a case recently of a "Christian" registrar refusing to marry a gay couple, for which happily she got into trouble). So it's not too likely that a Registrar would also be a professor. Nor, indeed, the other way round.
The Registrar could be a professor if he were the vicar of a parish church in which they were married, or an imam who was a licensed Registrar, and also held a university post!
But it wouldn’t be very likely.
To the OP, you could have a quick civil ceremony in terms of the time it takes, but you can't just turn up to do it - you have to apply in person to the Registrar, giving 15 days notice, and there's a residency requirement to meet before that.

Mehndi ceremonies are more cultural than religious, since a bride in either India or Pakistan going to their wedding ceremony without at least a little henna on their hands would be considered verboten, so it's probablly what you are looking for. Rasam, incidentally, simply means "tradition", or "custom" which brings good luck at the wedding, (for example, there's one where the bride's new mother in law will put shoes on the bride's feet) and Indian/Pakistani weddings are full of them. As far as I know, there's no ritual blessing sung--usually, mehndi for brides nowadays is put on a by a professional, and a few come to the mehndi party to
