Skeever Help - Marriage

So I did not realize how difficult this would be to resolve but basically my only unmarried couple refuses to get married, and now EVERYONE is going to starve to death. They're not related at all, both the same age. Is it because one is a dark elf and the other is an argonian??? Is there any saving this? I used all my potions of speed trying to keep my food stores up, and now I'm out and nobody is producing anything so I don't have any oil left either.
