For my money, the ideal outcome would be to have a Civil Partnership Register (to replace 'Registry Office weddings' entirely) simply to clarify legal issues resulting from a long-term partnership, regardless of gender or sexuality. Couples could follow this with a religious/secular ceremony of their choice if they so wished but this would be a matter of preference rather than law. A level playing field for all, that's what I say!
