I know our "evidence of bona fied marriage" is a little weak

Unfortunately we do not have any bills/rental agreements with both of our names since we met in college, lived apart when we started dating 4 years ago and then I moved into his place. We both know the land lord so he never made it a big deal signing a new lease or putting my name on anything.

We are planning on moving, get a joint account etc. in the next few months (this fall has been too hectic for both of us) and I talked to a lawyer who said that as long as I can show more proof/evidence by the time of the interview we'll be fine...

You should be fine, we didn't send in that many evidence either, some pics that's all... Sweden isn't a high risk country so just send what you got.
