Yes, indeed, you could in theory be married in a ceremony conducted by the pope himself in a "full
blown religious ceremony", subsequent to a civil ceremony, and without any fear of being charged with bigamy----as long as it's the same two people who are marrying. This practice, as a matter of fact is, actually, quite common.
