Nope, "brát si" requires an object, "brát se (s někým)" is without an object.

Why is 'brát se' used in this example when 'brát si' is what we have been taught and is correct for all of the other answers. My dictionary only shows 'brat se' as a verb. I'm confused!

Could any native speaker elaborate on why we are now getting SE instead of SI?

I'm no native speaker, so I am just going to guess. But maybe if there is an object (A is marrying B, or even A and B are marrying each other), then we would have si. But because this sentence omits an object, we get the se.
You have no reason to assume that I am correct.
"brát si" requires an object, "brát se (s někým)" is without an object.

I'm going to join the bandwagon here. We have been taught that 'si' is the correct reflexive pronoun.
"brát si" requires an object, "brát se (s někým)" is without an object.
