I'm not sure about the US, but in Canada, people do this type of thing all the time and there is no need to get a divorce before the second ceremony. Essentially all you are doing is re-affirming your vows.

If an American Citizen marries a Guatemalan will they lose US citizenship?

No you do not.The only person that doesn't have citezenship in America is the person from overseas.Another answer:Marriage to a foreign citizen does not affect one's own citizenship. If the new spouse wishes to obtain US citizenship, the laws of the home country determine whether or not that individual either gets dual citizenship or loses the original citizenship. For example, if a bride from New Zealand marries an American, she may gain US citizenship and retain her New Zealand citizenship. If a Chinese bride seeks US citizenship, though, China will not permit her to retain her Chinese citizenship.
