Do you have a sense of why all the talking heads keep saying otherwise?

Because in general states do recognize the validity of a marriage which was valid in another state. For example, Virginia recognizes valid common law marriages contracted in other states, even though Virginia doesn't allow common law marriages.

But, there are some things which the Old Dominion would never agree to, e.g., incestuous marriages and bigamous marriages.

I think most talking heads are thinking about "full faith and credit", which applies to divorces. I don't think "full faith and credit" applies to marriages, I think it's comity.
