Are you allowed to have a religious wedding after a civil ceremony? My boyfriend and I are thinking of having a civil wedding ceremony ASAP for insurance reasons. However, we have our heart set on having a regular religious ceremony as well. Will a pastor performing our religious ceremony have a problem if we already have a marriage license? Do we have to tell our guests that we had a quick ceremony? Neither of us will feel truly married until it is in a church under the eyes of God, but the circumstances prevent that at present. We are both teachers in California and both grew up in Michigan, so we want the religious ceremony to be in MI. Also, since we're teachers, we want it to be this summer. So, bottom line, is what we want to do OK? A few more details--we both are incredibly religious and having the religious wedding is important to us. There's just no possible way for a while. We have been dating for 5 years and living together for one and acknowledge that our current situation is not the way God intended it to be. Gifts are not an issue to us at all; we just want a celebration with our family and friends.
