[I assume that Grace Cathedral probably has some fine print, ala "At least one of you must be baptized, and you'll need to have a period of premarital counseling w/ us", but the general welcome THIS day is, well, Very Welcome!]
For what it's worth, those requirements are not fine print but required by the national church canons, I.18.2(d) (baptism of at least one party) and I.18.2(e) (both parties must be instructed as to the nature, meaning and purpose of Holy Matrimony).
I don't think those are unreasonable requirements for a church to impose, so long as they are imposed on everyone equally.
