Most foreign marriages are considered legal in the US. There are exceptions, so if you got married outside the US, you may want to consult an attorney to either confirm you are not one of those cases, or to find out how to get your "foreign" marriage legally recognized by the US. An example where a foreign marriage would not be considered legal in the US is if a same-sex couple entered into a union in a country that recognizes same-sex unions and then moved to a state in the US that explicitly bans recognition of such unions.
