Marriage before an annulment is not a valid marriage. If not possible to separate then living as brother and sister (no sex) until annulment granted is the only way to be able to get out of mortal sin. Confession then no sexual contact until after annulment then valid marriage.
 
But we are both dedicated to raising our children Catholic.
Then do the right thing and wait until you can marry in the church. To marry without doing so would just be adding another layer of problems. You have waited 5 years? What is another 6 months?

I don’t know how old your children are, but either they aren’t old enough to even notice, or you can teach them something by explaining what not to do in their life, and showing that you are taking steps to fix things.
 
If you already feel bad about having sinned, then why compound it by adding more sin? You’ll just feel worse.

Confess and live like siblings until all this is sorted out.
 
By my reckoning the OP has 7 or 8 children that she is homeschooling.

So, what does your priest suggest you do? On a Catholic site, most of the answers you receive will come from people that are going to suggest you do things in line with Catholicism. So that would not include marrying in different Christian church.
 
So my question was: simple civil ceremony? or ceremony of a different denomination.
The answer from an objective Catholic standpoint is neither.
Confess, live as brother and sister and wait until you have your annulments, then marry properly in the Church.
Sorry, but we cannot advise you to violate Church teaching on this forum. We’d be leading you into more sin. That would be bad for you and bad for us.
If you need some kind of specialized help or individual discussion, please reach out to your priest.
