Go to MA and get it done there even they are not recognized anywhere else, you still feel safer and happier if you and your fiance officially married and recognized by at least 1 government body, MA in this case. Screw the civil union craps, in the worst case senario you move to MA and live happily ever after at least you feel you are recognized at "one functional family" there. Hey man, MA is not bad at all. Boston is a freaking nice place to live.
