I don't know *why* two, but I imagine tax purposes and immigration exploits would be thrown in as reasons.
Also, I just want to be totally clear on this: Wouldn't equal protection simply mean that other states have to recognize the two as being married, but could still ban any gay marriages within the state? To use Superbelt's example, you can be licensed in Cali and drive in Vermont, but Vermont can deny you a license if you don't already have one and try to get it there.
