I think Cream's got it right... they probably just ran over to the local justice of the peace or member of the clergy, so that if the worst happens, they would at least have had some time as husband and wife. They are, more than likely, planning to have a "full" wedding with all the frills when he returns.
I wanted to chime in as well, that I think the ladies here have got it right. They may have been forced to marry quite quickly, as he was going to be deployed overseas.
If she knew the story was going to be on the news, she should have given her closest friends a heads up... but she chose not to, for whatever reason. She is probably just upset and not thinking straight. I wouldn't hold it against her.
She may not have necessarily known it was going to be on the news, or given the circumstances, her first priority was seeing him as much as possible until the moment when he left. So she might not have been concerned about anything else at that moment. While you are probably disappointed (and a bit hurt, perhaps?) about not being able to witness her wedding, try not to take it personally or as an afront to you...I am sure that she did not intend to hurt you at all. And if anything, with her new husband being sent away to a very dangerous part of the world, your friend needs your love and support around her more than ever. Hopefully he will be returning safely and you will witness many more wonderful moments of their marriage.
Good Luck and please let us know if anything else develops with this situation.
