The fact that the procedure of marriage sometimes takes place in a church doesn't change the fact that it is a legal procedure. Ever heard of a marriage licence? The religious proceedings involved in getting married are pure ritual and independent of actually getting married in any legal sense.

The sacred meaning of marriage. Not just Christianity either, for all religions who use marriage as a blessing from God.

So a marriage would somehow be less sacred if two men could do it too? How so? All you have to do is look at the divorce rate(around 50% last i heard) to see how "sacred" christian marriages are.
