I'm in the same situation, but my take on the "invalid" comment would be completely different. The State tells me that my marriage is valid, so anyone who tries to tell me their God doesn't consider it valid would only receive pity from me. In fact, I would prefer that people who have this view tell me so. I can put them on the list of people who are too small-minded to be worth my time and move on.
