Both California and Mexico recognize marriages performed in other jurisdictions as long as the marriage was legal in the jurisdiction where it was performed. Both, however, reserve the right to reject a marriage which is "against public policy" (e.g., incestuous or polygamous marriages). Although the State of California recognizes same-sex marriages performed anywhere it was legal between June 16, 2008 and November 5, 2008, Mexico did not begin allowing same-sex couples to marry until March 4, 2010.
