Fortunately for you there's already precedent stating that same-sex marriages performed while legal are still recognized as valid even after the law legalizing them was overturned. I'm sure there would be a lot of other mess involved, but your marriage should remain intact.

Hopefully you won't have to put that to the test (or anyone else, for that matter).
