These threads get side-tracked so fast its amazing, though I'm sure people are well-meaning. To the original poster, your aims are 100% doable.. just need to know the right people.
You are correct. That does not support your assumption of a registered marriage without any ceremony.
The article says a "marriage" without a ceremony. That clearly suggests they got married (which is what it means legally when you register your marriage) but didn't have a wedding. There's no mention of anything resembling a wedding and explicitly said no ceremony. This is not uncommon in Thailand (nor is the opposite, as you pointed out).
