TLDR : Answer Summary
You cannot extend your 30-day visa exemption for three months. Instead, you may first need to apply for a 30-day tourism extension, followed by a 60-day extension for visiting family in Thailand. After those extensions, you can apply for a marriage visa.

No, you may have to apply for a 30-day tourism extension first, the 60-day visiting Thai family extension next, and then you can go forward. No 3 months extension exist.

Many of offices accept 60 days visiting Thai family extension when you use up other standard extensions such as 30 days tourism exension for those who entered on visa-exmep or tourist visa.
