I definitely think they DON'T get married.
The whole song sounds so morose and hopeless and depressing.
I think the first line either means that someone happened to the girl (she left him, she's died) and she physically cannot put her head on his chest, which is why he says "I wish you COULD."
OR, maybe the girl didn't think she loved him enough and he just wishes that her hearing his heart that beats only for her would suffice.
Even the way he sings "I still dream of December..." doesn't seem simply reminiscent, but like he's haunted by it.
The fact that he never does finish "And the two shall become.." makes it so obvious to me that it ended badly and unfinished.
Beautiful song though. It's funny how some of the saddest songs are the prettiest.
