First of all, several times this phrase has been mentioned, "civil legal

ceremony."  There is no such thing.  The civil authorities don't care about

or require a ceremony of any kind.  What they do is issue marriage licenses

in order to recognize marriages from a legal standpoint.  This is necessary

because of children, property ownership, and legal contracts.  The

ceremonies are part of tradition and vary from religion to religion and

culture to culture.  The State has little or no interest in marriage

ceremonies.
