    While I agree that the act could be interpreted as an symbol of inequality, I really think personal choice should be the winner here.

      It is still the winner. This is just internal church stuff. The couple can choose a different church, a different religion, a non-religious wedding, etc.

      If a personalized wedding with details like this are important to the couple, maybe the Swedish Lutheran church isn’t the right flavor of Christianity or religion for them.
