When my DH and I got married, we went to the court house first thing in the morning, got married, had breakfast at McDonald's, ran errands all day, my mom was late picking up my son, we stayed home that night, then my mom called really early and had us come get him. Why? Because my mother-in-law to be hated me, and I felt horrible having a wedding with out her there. So now, over two years later, we are on good terms, trying to build a relationship. I want to have my wedding, but can't decide if I should or not. It wouldn't be until we have been married for five years. But I want a church wedding, before God, family and friends. What do you think? Is it to late? Am I being selfish? Any input would be great. Thank you ladies.

You could do it as a renewing your vows type of thing.

I don't see anything wrong with doing it now. I'd do it more as a renewing your wedding vows (since it's been 5 years) but I think it's a great idea. Every girl deserves a wedding ceremony :)

I agree with the above!  Call it your anniversary party and renewal ceremony.  Make it your dream wedding, but acknowledge the five years you have already been committed to eachother, too.

I believe that because your first wedding was done in the courthouse and not a religious ceremony, you can still technically have an actual wedding done in a church as a religious ceremony.  I could be wrong though... something to research.  If not, certainly a formal vow renewal/anniversary would be acceptable.

I agree with this.
