I think I might get married in south korea. Does that change anything for when we come home to the US? He's there with the army and wants me to come there ecause we don't know if he will get his 30 day leave in April like we planned so is to get married there OK too?

Are you planning on getting married at the army base where he is stationed in South Korea and also having the marriage ceremony performed by an army chaplain or other official in the army who may be qualified to perform such ceremonies? I would think that if you are, then there should be no issues concerning being married there once you return to the U.S. as long as you have a valid, signed married license or certificate.

However, if you want to get married by someone from South Korea and have the ceremony not take place on the army base, or not performed by army personnel, then I did find some information from the following site that might be helpful to you.
