I'm with DSTRen on this. I know a lot of people (myself included!) see the church ceremony as the actual beginning of the marriage, and the civil part as just paperwork that's neccessary to be married. I know that when I started Pre-Cana, our priest told us that we had to remember to bring the marriage license because he could be put in prison for not doing the legal aspect.
The paperwork really is just paperwork to some people, and the religious ceremony (or the ceremony in front of friends and family) is when the marriage actually begins.
GL with whatever you chose, SthrnZeta!!
