If you are going to try and use a wrong name , and which is not at all your legal name . then there very good chances for this marriage not to be legal, as you are getting witnesses to sign false facts on the marriage certificate ,.

Yes. Citizenship is not required for marriage, nor does the town/city clerk ask the applicants if they are citizens. A foreigner may show a foreign passport as identification when applying for a marriage license. Be aware, however, that marrying a citizen does not automatically make an illegal alien eligible for citizenship. Specifically, a foreigner who illegally entered the United States and later married a citizen may only become eligible for legal status after leaving the U.S. for 5 or 10 years before returning.
