The license may ask whether the wedding was Civil or Religious. Unless otherwise specified, you should mark "Religious".

Ceremony Type on Marriage License

The marriage license may ask whether the wedding was Civil or Religious. Unless otherwise specified, you should mark "Religious".

Even if you perform a ceremony that is secular in nature, you will be doing so in your capacity as a minister, which is a "Religious" official. In general, a wedding is only registered as "Civil" when it has been performed by a judge or other officer of the court.
