Here's the law:

Having a civil union performed in Massachusetts doesn't mean it will be valid in Oklahoma.
Chapter 207: Section 11. Non-residents; marriages contrary to laws of domiciled state
Section 11. No marriage shall be contracted in this commonwealth by a party residing and intending to continue to reside in another jurisdiction if such marriage would be void if contracted in such other jurisdiction, and every marriage contracted in this commonwealth in violation hereof shall be null and void.

Even if you do go to Massachusettes to get married, Oklahoma will not recognize the marriage.
