But I also think you can reasonably draw a line on the other side of this based on teh harm to others. There really is none, because the ultimate validity of the marriage license itself will be determined by a court. The act of granting the license is purely ministerial and doesn't really allow any of the recipients to do anything that won't be subject to exactly the same challenges as the person not doing anything, because they still have to get someone else to recognize its validity, be it an employer, a taxing authority, another state, etc.
Having a marriage license does nothing except a) provide a "social" statement that one can already get through some churches and b) provide a basis for claiming certain other rights under state (and federal) law.

So let me understand you. Laws are no longer really laws, but merely suggestions, and if by breaking the law you are not really harming anyone, in your opinion, then it's OK?
And what is the harm in issuing a assault weapon license?
