I don't know where you got this, but it isn't true. I do know that you need witnesses, but I know lots of women who have been official witnesses at weddings.

My daughter just got married on August 22nd and her witnesses were her best friends.
This is an old outdated and repealed (for the most part) law. It dates back to when women didn't have rights.
The last word you're looking for is sexist. Not sexes.
I couldn't find the Tennessee Laws regarding marriage ceremonies, but I did find Oklahoma's.
The person performing or solemnizing the marriage ceremony shall immediately upon the completion thereof endorse upon the license authorizing the marriage his name; official or clerical designation; the court of which he is judge or the congregation or body of which he is pastor, preacher, minister, priest, rabbi or dignitary, provided, that the authority to perform or solemnize marriages shall be coextensive with the congregation or body of which he is pastor, preacher, minister, priest, rabbi or dignitary; the town or city and county where the same is located; and signed by him with his official or clerical designation. The witnesses to the ceremony shall endorse the license authorizing the marriage with their names and post office addresses. The license with such certificate thereon shall be transmitted without delay to the judge or the court clerk who issued the same.

I think the word you mean is sexist not sexes. I've never heard of that law and I'm pretty sure the witness at my wedding was female. I'd assume the laws regarding this vary from state to state too.
