For those of you married. Did you have a CIVIL or RELIGIOUS ceremony? Would you do the same all over again?

We are not religious, but we are actors. We got engaged on that same boat during the bows after a performance of a cool murder mystery riverboat tour. We acted with the man that wrote, directed and produced the show and company, and he was in on the engagement surprise, so we asked him to become ordained so he could marry us, and my husband wrote the "script" for the cermony. I wouldn't have changed a single thing about my wedding day.
Luckily, my husband is really close with the pastor of the church, and (since my hubby was a church member), we were able to book the chapel for free, (we did give the pastor a $50 tip, just for doing us the favor on such short notice). My brother-in-law acted as sound mixer, the youth pastor was our photographer, the rest of the wedding party consisted of my younger sister and my husband's best friend, and we held the reception back at our house.
If given the chance to do it again, the only change I would make would be an actual honeymoon for the two of us. Since we were trying to save money I was only able to take a four-day weekend from work, (which was subsequently ruined when my dad landed in the hospital with bloodclots the next night).
