Our great scholars who are Maraaje’ of Taqleed have studies all the Hadiths regarding marriage including this Hadith mentioned in your question and gave clear verdict that marriage between Mo'mina and Mo’min is allowed with out the condition of being Sayyed or not Sayyed. Great Sayyed Ulama have given their Sayyed daughters for marriage to non Sayyed Mo’mins like Ayatullah Khomeini who gave his daughter to Shaikh Eshraqi, Ayatullah Sayyed Muhsin Al-Hakeem who gave his daughter to Shaikh Hasan Najaf, Ayatullah Gulpaygani who gave his daughter to Shaikh Saadi and many other great Ulama.

In some countries culture such marriage is not accepted, but culture can never change the Sharia of the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS).
