As I said, I don't know enough about it to comment. I almost begs the question though, what is religion, is it a set of beliefs? Then if any couple are marrying according to their beliefs, aren't they also undergoing a religious ceremony.

Sory, you've been just using the word marriage so I've become a little confused. I didn't know that you meant religious marriages. I agree with you, if a specific religion decides not to marry a specific group of people, that is that religions right. Religious marriage can quite happily be left to religions. But marriage in general should be open to anybody. I.e, I think any couple should be able to get the civil union, then they should be able to have a private ceremony of their choosing (if they wish) and that will be their actual marriage. This is how I see my potential future marriage.
