Sounds like my last one Dem, Legal marriage, then a Church blessing.

A few years ago you had to go to the civic centre and get married and then at a later date go to church....

Some churches now do the registry there.....so your ****** on both counts haha

I had a no church involvement in my marriage we were asked but I said only if the beast that lives under the raging sun in the dead of night, blesses us. It didn't happen so was all legal and civil (until the wife turned up THREE hours late!). Least she made it though.

There is no religious involvement in a civil ceremony. If you go secular you create a verbal contract in response to the specific prompting of a civil administrator in the presence of your spouse ("I do" in this context is a contract), witnessed by those present and written into record by the signing of the marriage certificate. The words "I do" are the contract, not the certificate, which is proof that you said it. All of this is also true of a religious ceremony, the difference being that a priest, pastor, reverend, call him or her what you will, replaces the civil administrator and so in doing so the contract is witnessed by those present and also the particular God that you pray to.

Where did it originate? It's ultimately an evolution of a religious ceremony where you stand before somebody with witnesses on hand. You're still forced to go down that route in order to attain certain privileges in the eyes of the law.
