As for nobles being so opposed to it, remember, there were plenty of nobles - see, Rendon Howe's dad, as an example - who didn't seem to mind the occupation so much.
Actually he was a heroic man who went off to be a Grey Warden...
Just to clarify, my comments from before shouldn't be taken to mean that I, the player, am concerned about Ferelden to the exclusion of the other fictional nations of Thedas. I'm just saying that if a person (within the setting) would prefer that Ferelden remain an independent nation, they would be suspicious of a Cailan/Celene marriage if they were smart. Of course people can be bribed and such, but in that case they probably weren't too passionate about Ferelden's independence in the first place.
Well, someone in Nate's family did, but it's somewhat unclear who:
The Howes of Amaranthine are one of the oldest noble families in Ferelden. Their lineage traces to the time of Calenhad, when Elias Howe was one of the first freeholders to follow Calenhad.
During the occupation, Arl Tarleton Howe, Rendon Howe's father, threw his lot in with the Orlesians. After several bitter battles with rebels, the town of Harper's Ford--an outpost governed by Tarleton Howe--fell to the Couslands of Highever. Tarleton hanged.
Rendon brought the Howe family over to the side of Maric Theirin and Loghain Mac Tir's rebellion. Rendon's bravery at the battle of White River, fighting alongside Bryce Cousland, earned back his family's honour. When King Maric took the throne in free Ferelden, Rendon Howe was decorated for his service.

As for the other point, yes, some people would be. It's unclear to me how many, since there were some - and I'm not sure what percentage - who didn't care about the earlier invasion. I'm sure some would look simply to the economic advantages of the marriage and be okay with it.
