Very quickly I'll give my two cents.
You are a government official, with the duty to issue marriage licenses to citizens. You are now representing the government in this issue, and it is your duty as a government official to issue these licenses within the confines of the law.
Am argument I like for comparison is; what if the county you live in is a "shall issue" county; meaning you shall be issued a concealed carry permit as long as you pass the legal requirements. But the official who issues the permits believes guns shouldn't be in the hands if citizens and refuses to issue said permits.
Should they be reprimanded for refusing to follow through with their job due to personal beliefs? Yes. Like I said, you are then representing the government, you are no longer representing your personal beliefs.

Edited by Faust IXV: 9/4/2015 3:39:51 AMThat's completely separate from the issue of freedom of religion though and an almost incomparable scenario because there are tons of institutions that can marry. It's not like people can just get the shall carry permit from anyone else. The analogy isn't bad but there's more to it than you seem to think Edit: I misread OPs terribly worded post ignore this

He didn't ask about someone denying them the marriage ceremony; he asked about refusing to grant a marriage license based on personal beliefs. The government grants marriage licenses, as far as I know they are the only ones who can grant a legally binding marriage license.

Read the edit. OP worded his post horribly

It's cool man, still love you.

The issue isn't that they want to get married in a church. Sure, a church can deny them that ceremony from a religious standpoint. The issue is, no matter where you get married, a church, a garden, the beach, etc. you need a wedding license from the government for it to be recognized legally.

The OP worded it terribly I recant my statement
-
No worries.

Thank you for this!

You're welcome.
