Marriage itself doesn't matter to me, because i'm not married. However the fact that i am not legally allowed to marry does affect me, because it means all citizens do not have equal rights.

So being discriminated against, i'm sure does affect all gay people in the US and UK who do not enjoy the same rights as heterosexual people.

I've certainly dreamed about my wedding day, imagined what i'll wear, thought about which family members would show up, which would not. Imagined the playlist of songs at the reception. It is fun to think about.

Marriage is a legal institution, not a religious institution.
