Stay is in effect until August 18, at 5pm. At which point marriages will resume, although the 9th Circuit could step in and issue their own stay and various weird appeals by groups who may or may not have standing may be in play.

Situation: good, but chaotic.

That's Walker's POV, yes. I don't know enough about the legal details of standing to know whether the Ninth Circuit will agree with him. And honestly, I'm kind of terrified of the shitstorm that would be called down upon the nation if the appeal is denied based on standing. Shit. Storm.
