Does it seem that there an increasing interlude between (non-reigning) noble/princely/royal civil and religious marriages (Catholic and Protestant)? Except in very unusual circumstances, it seemed that in the past, religious ceremonies followed the civil registration within a week or so, even when the ceremonies were conducted in different countries or duplicated for religious reasons (e.g. then Prince Juan Carlos and Princess Sofia, or the most recent wedding of the second son of the Grand Duke of Luxembourgh).
Some do -- I think they chose to have the civil marriage earlier than expected due to the tragic death of Sophia's grandmother.
The civil ceremony is the legal marriage.
