The Massachusetts court ruled on a state institution based on an interpretation of the state constitution. The Massachusetts marriages don't have any federal rights or recognitions and don't break any federal laws. Traditionally the Supreme Court stays far away from state-based issues like this.

Some DOMA test-case will come up in the future. That's what you need to look out for.
