You cannot get married in Bahrain on a visit visa without involving your consulate I'm afraid. I'm not even sure if you can get married even if you had a residence permit. Why Bahrain? Why not anywhere else but Bahrain?

unfortunately you cant, even if you are residents here, as your wife to be is a Muslim it is impossible to get married because you are Christians, you have to be Muslim to get a permission.
good luck
