The United States can recognize any marriage performed outside of the United States, but is not always required to do so. The principles of "Full Faith and Credit" as referenced in the United States Constitution do not apply to "foreign" matters, such as marriage or divorce, but can be granted "comity" (the foreign equivalent of Full Faith and Credit) if the manner in which the marriage occurred is largely similar to how one would be obtained in the United States. I do not know specifically, but I suspect Costa Rican marriages are sufficiently similar to United States marriages to qualify for comity.
