Sorry but WTF?hock:
Churches have the right to refuse to marry any couple. Couples where one or both people have been married before get turned down by Churches all the time. They just go and find another Church. The same will happen with this. There are Churches that are planning to offer weddings to same-sex couples, and they were unhappy when Churches were nearly excluded from being permitted to perform the marriages after the Church Of England threw a tantrum about the "Definition Of Marriage" being changed (You know, like the way the Church Of England was founded so that Henry VIII could redefine marriage to enable him to divorce Catherine of Aragon without the Pope's permission and marry Anne Boleyn.)
