Sure you can get married in Church as well. All it does is legitimize the marriage in the eyes of the Church and is not affected at all by your legal (civil) marriage.

I feel the need to very politely "kick your butt". Many people don't understand the difference between religious and civil marriages...particularly if they are from other countries. Its tacky to call them "stupid" if you don't know or understand the background from which they are coming.
