Our friends just did this. The process was too complicated and they wanted a specific person to officiate the wedding. They went to the courthouse the week before but still consider there anniversary and all things the date of the wedding. One is the legal requirement, the other is what you actually want it to be
People do this all the time. Legal marriage first and then “ceremonial” ceremony (or spiritual ceremony, emotional ceremony, whatever term resonates with you) + party. You don’t have to call it that or even tell anyone on your ceremony and party day that you already signed some legal papers. In some countries, this approach is actually the requirement!

Yes. but then why? So you are going to have a reenactment with this friend plaung the part of the official? You going to tell people you're already married?

It doesn't matter. My neice did it., but her Reenactment was a church wedding. And hers was a year later due to Covid.
Again, it doesn't matter. It's Your celebration, do it how you want. Just asking if you are inviting people to a celebration of your marriage or to your wedding. Again, not that it matters, but is your friend ordained in another state? Or are you just wanting a lay person to officiate? If they are ordained in another state, no one attending would think tp question. If they are just a friend who has never officiated, someone might. Again, doesn't matter.
