It depends on the country.
Both people have to be present. If the British citizen (engaged to the American) is getting married in the States, they need a K1 Fiance Visa first (this needs to be agreed before they travel).
This allows them to live in America for 6 months before the wedding.
The other way around (Yankee marries Brit), there's a similar system in place regarding a visa to be applied for before travelling to Great Britain.
The questions that are ask make sure that one party can financially support the other as generally even after marriage a foreign national won't have permission to work without a work permit.
The rules are different for those with nationality of two different countries (eg British/American citizen) eg British father, American mother.
Hope that helps. The British forms and advice can be obtained from the GB embassy in Washington, or the consulates, or just go to the IND website (part of what used to be the Home Office; now Ministry of Justice (or possibly FCO)). Hope that helps.

Marrying him allows him to stay. You'll have to find a state that allows same sex marriage. I dont believe there is anything special that needs to be done for a cuban.
