Yes it is. In addition to the religious nature of the ceremony, a reaffirmation ceremony conducted according to the religious rites of a church may be a further marriage ceremony using the wording of the legal marriage vows. This form of ceremony MUST be conducted by a religious celebrant and is normally held in the church, and has no legal standing.
