Think about it like the contests, each country has their own set of rules and requirements. In some cultures same-sex marriages, even relationships, are heavily shunned and if I'm correct, outlawed. This might be unrelated somewhat but look at stuff regarding some FPS game that came out in one country. I can't remember the name of it but there were these certain pictures put up in a virtual bathroom that got enough fuss because it was against religious beliefs the creators actually had to pull those maps for awhile just to fix it.

SE is only trying to play it safe, being a Japanese-based company, same-sex marriages generally aren't allowed in their country. It's okay, I think, but not really allowed. Putting that into the game like this, especially when their largest playerbase is situated in Japan, could cost them subscribers whereas not allowing it probably won't.

They're not saying you can't hold your own wedding, but they won't officially support or hold one either. And having official support for it may make it more difficult to release in other countries where the very thought of same-sex relationships is banned.
And we have a winner
