Pope St. Nicholas I in a letter to Boris I of Bulgaria stated that consent of the couple was sufficient enough for the marriage to be considered valid (that is, sacramental).
ac per hoc sufficiat secundum leges
solus eorum consensus, de quorum coniunctionibus agitur
Pope Alexander III taught that the
consent of the spouses was what made a marriage, and not the ceremony or the
blessing of the priest. https://books.google.com/books?id=FS-kaB...age&f=false
Pope Innocent III likewise taught
the same. https://books.google.com/books?id=dRGwCQ...age&f=false
