I did this.  Had a courthouse wedding and then a year to the day had a church wedding.  Yes, it was technically a vow renewal, but our guests didn't know the difference.  Hindsight though--I wish we hadn't done it that way.
He did give me a ring--although mine was a tanzanite ring that I wore on my finger until he gave me my "engagement" ring several months later (We did everything very last minute.)
