Best Answer

Whether you have a religious wedding or a government wedding you need a marriage license from the county courthouse in the state you are married in. The church will sign the court issued license and you will file it with them once signed. The main answer is that it does not matter which is first as long you have a legal license.

Some brides that come to us are already married by the courthouse and are now planning there wedding in the church or by a religious officiant

Why is a religious wedding more important that a non religious one?

In the US at least, legally they're regarded as precisely the same. Whether or not it's more important in the grand scheme of things depends on whether or not the particular religion involved is "right" or not, which is, ultimately, a question to which we do not know the answer. Those who believe that religion is right are, of course, free to regard a religious wedding as "more important," said freedom being guaranteed by the First Amendment to the US Constitution.
