Good question. In general, marriages which are legally performed and valid abroad are also legally valid in the United States. The embassy or tourist information bureau of the country in which the marriage will happen is the best source of information about marriage in that country.
You are already married, you can't apply for a license. The US will recognize a valid marriage in another country.
I would do the latter, because different countries have different laws on marriage.
I need to get a replacement of my birth certificate and I was born abroad.
Is there anyway that I can obtain a birth certificate, when I was born Abroad?
It is a certificate that acts as certificate of citizenship for children whose parents live abroad. You have to go the embassy of your country of citizenship, register your child's birth who was born abroad and get that certificate in order for him/her to gain your citizenship officially.
No, it would be considered a marriage abroad.

The British government provides advice on getting married abroad. This includes the legal issues. The US government also does the same for its citizens. If buying a wedding package with a vacation, the company should also provide full information on what is involved.
Marriage is generally a state issue. If you marry according to the laws of another country and your marriage would be legally allowed in your state (i.e. you aren't closely related, of the same sex, married to more than one person) then generally the state will recognize your marriage abroad. In general, unless the marriage breaks U.S. state laws, marriages which are legally performed and valid abroad are also legally valid in the United States. Inquiries regarding the validity of a marriage abroad should be directed to the attorney general of the state in the United States where the parties to the marriage live. http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/86802.pdf.
