Is it correct to say "We are going in a family marriage ceremony."? I am confused about the preposition. Don't I need "to/into" in the place?

Let me put it this way:

a. We are going to a family marriage ceremony.

b. We are going into a family marriage ceremony.

c. We are are going in a family marriage ceremony.

Which one is correct?

We are going to a family wedding would be my choice. You can use "marriage ceremony" if you prefer. The preposition to use is "to."
