Some couples planning same-sex weddings have begun to panic, worried they could lose the right to marry.

Advocates say they're seeing an uptick in concern about marriage rights under a second Trump administration.

There are two safeguards in place that make any attack on the issue tougher to make.

The Supreme Court would have to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges decision.

The death of Obergefell and the Respect for Marriage Act represent the worst-case scenarios for marriage equality.

It's possible that both could advance in the next four years , but at the moment, neither appears to be a primary aim for the incoming administration.

The law could be challenged in court by states arguing that Congress overstepped its authority in telling them how to handle marriages.
