Really confused about Marrying non-EEA national

[uk_citizen_help]

Hi Guys.

I am planning on marrying a girl from Pakistan but I am completely confused as to the procedure.
I earn around £27k per year. I have a house in Edinburgh with my brother but also work and rent a room in Sheffield around £300 per month including bills as a lodger. I stay there during the week and then head back up on the weekends.

My fiance is a Doctor over in Pakistan and highly educated with fantastic English. She has often corrected myself on some occasions so I am not worried about the language side of things.

I am planning to fly over with my family next month and get married. I've been told I need to have evidence of conversations of which I have whatsapp conversations, call, video call logs. Is this enough? I will also take pictures of the small ceremony we are planning as she has been married and divorced before in the past as it didn't work out for her previously.

What would be the best course of action at this stage. Should I marry her over there then she applies for a visa to stay here for 2.5 years? I am a bit confused. There seem to be so many visa choices that it's mind boggling.
Can she also apply to do her exams in the UK to register as a UK doctor while she lives with me?

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
