Personally, I think the Constitution says it's the state's business, and therefore what the people of the state decides, so long as it's uniformly applied and not discriminatory, is not a violation of the Constitution.

I don't feel the federal government has anything to do with it until two states start arguing about whether a marriage license should be transferable from one state to another - and then the federal government has the obligation per Article IV to setttle that dispute on the generic level, not whether "marriage" has meaning A, B, or C.
