Is it possible to have a Jewish wedding after a civil ceremony?
My (legal) husband and I had a small courthouse wedding ceremony, which was done entirely for practical reasons after my cancer diagnosis. Neither of us are as frum now as we were raised, but having a Jewish wedding ceremony and ketubah is very important to us. Is there any halachic reason why we couldn't now have a Jewish wedding ceremony?

There is no reason not to have a Jewish wedding. All the contrary! There is a strong reason to have one, in order to live according to halacha with a kosher wedding and ketuba.
Note that, in many European countries (e.g., Switzerland, France), it is forbidden to have a Jewish wedding without first having a civil wedding. As such, all Jews first have a small wedding ceremony in front of civil authorities, and soon after that the real Jewish wedding.
With best wishes for a beautiful kosher wedding. Mazal tov!
