Not at all.  It would make you an "accessory to marriage," which is NOT a
crime.  If the marriage were a crime, then EVERYONE who just KNEW about it
without reporting it to the police would be an accessory to the marriage.  But
it makes no difference, since it is not a crime.  Now that you know the couple
was married in Massachusetts, that makes you as much of an "accessory" as the
baker.

And it couldn't possibly make anyone an accessory to any sex that the couple
might have, since the marriage and the sex are two completely different things.
 Since the sex would be legal, with or without the marriage, the whole idea of
being an accessory to it is once again meaningless.
