You need to make an application and do it soon, otherwise you will have to leave the UK, or risk overstaying illegally.
The link below might help you:

The GOV.UK website has a lot of information to assist you. If you are still confused/overwhelmed, then I'd suggest hiring an immigration lawyer to assist you.

An immigration lawyer won't be much good to you as you'll still have to apply for a visa in exactly the same was as anyone else, regardless of how much you waste on a legal advice.

However, as was mentioned above, this question really should be in the Indonesia section.

Hi Hildaa,
A warning; it's possible to apply for a visa to get married in the UK, however, the UK Government are now very suspicious of these as many people have used them as a way to get around the UK immigration rules. If they have any cause to think your application is not genuine, you wont get a marriage visa.
You will probably find it much quicker if your future husband travelled to Indonesia and you married there.

I agree that you will waste time and money hiring an immigration lawyer in Indonesia. A lawyer can be useful in the UK, as the immigration law can be a little confusing, but the GOV.UK website is also quite useful too.
However, in the meantime, UK Government prefer that your fiancee travels to Indonesia and you marry there, then apply for the spouse visa in Indonesia - this is one way of testing whether the relationship is genuine, rather than a marriage of convenience.
Even with a UK visa, you may still be detained for questioning on arrival, if the immigration officer is not satisfied with the answer to his/her questions.
