You can only get married once but you are welcome to have a commitment ceremony or have your wedding blessed in the church of your choice or have a religious ceremony with no legal obligation according to either religion.

Congratulations!

Basically you can only have one legal wedding ceremony. I would ask the minister of your church if he can do a blessing or religious commitment ceremony.

Best wishes!

Hello, I trust you are doing well. You have the option to hold a ceremony with your friends and family at the church. However, if you opt for a celebrant, they must acknowledge that you are already married or clarify that there is no legal aspect involved. This ceremony would serve as a joyful celebration of your existing marriage, similar to how a celebrant would mark an anniversary or renewal of vows.

I am not sure what the question is here?

You have legally married in a Civil Ceremony and now want a non-legal religious marriage ceremony.

All you need to do is talk to an appropriate person in that church. If you want to marry in the Catholic Chruch, talk to a Priest, 

The second ceremony is regarded as a renewal of vows as you cannot legally marry twice but a religious ceremony is permitted. Just make sure that you don't sign a new Notice of Intended Marriage or any legal marriage certificates.

Hello and thank you for your enquiry.

You may only legally marry once, which you have already done.

However, you may have a ceremony in both your church and your husband's .

These ceremonies will not include the compulsory legal words and you will not have to sign any legal documents.

They will be ceremonies in which you receive the blessings of your particular faiths and will add a lot of meaning and depth to your marriage celebration. 
I hope that makes sense and please feel at ease to ask me anymore questions, and congratulations on your marriage!!

kind Regards,
