I can't see why it woudln't be possible but the ultimate say would be up to your church, I don't know much about Catholic rules. Many couples I know, for military reasons etc. get married at the court house and then have the big wedding months later when it is more convenient.
As long as your family is open to the idea and your church is okay with it it should be fine.
Yes, it's possible. In the Catholic church, it would be a convalidation ceremony, not a marriage ceremony, since you're already married but they're basically the same thing.
That's pretty much what I am doing. Fiance is deploying so we've moved our wedding date up. We're going to try to get into the church but I'm not sure if we will get all our training done in time so if not, we'll do the court house wedding and then a church wedding after his deployment. If we do get into the church it'll just be his parents and siblings and my dad but we're still going to do another church ceremony when he gets back.
You can do it, but it would be a convalidation ceremony at the church rather than a marriage ceremony.
Technically speaking, you cannot do this. If you get married in a civil court, the Church does not consider you married. Until you sought a convalidation of your marriage, you would not be in good standing with the Church.
I would talk to your priest about your reasons for seeking to marry civilly first. Getting married in the Catholic Church does not mean you have to have a big wedding. It can be perfectly small and there is no reason you can't have your reception months afterward.

Hi there,
I'd like to know if the following is possible:
For my fiancee and I to get married at a registry office so that we are legally married, and then a little while later having a church ceromoney?
We are both Catholic,
