What's going to happen those who already managed to get married? Will their marriages retroactively become "invalid" or "unrecognised"?

Awfully disappointing that this thing passed.

Most likely not.  The reason it became legal in June was because the State Supreme Court ruled it was already legal.  These should be grandfathered in.  None of that matters until this leaves the courts, however.  Expect it to go to the top as the question of denying equal rights to one group via constitutional amendment (in the state) is a natural for the federal government.  The 14th amendment would be the argument here and if the Supreme Court of the US hears it they can't legitimately rule otherwise.
