Is online marriage recognized everywhere?

Given Utah is one of the few states allowing this form of marriage, how is it recognized in other states? Due to the Full Faith and Credit Clause, every state is required to recognize marriages that are legally conducted according to the specific laws and regulations of the state and county where they took place. Therefore, if you marry in Utah with an officiant from the state and adhere strictly to the laws of Utah County, your marriage will be recognized as valid across all 50 states.
