Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area. My fiancee and I have recently applied for her K1 visa. Once we are legally married in the States, will that carry over to Ireland as well? If we decided we ever wanted to move to Ireland, would we need to marry again to make it legal outside of the US?

legally recognized marriages in one country are typically recognized by most every country, exceptions always apply but I doubt it applies to Ireland. Some countrues have a process to record a foreign marriage via there respective consulate in the US... you can check the Irish consulate website to see if there is such a practice

How cool would that be?

You marry in the US, and then you move to Ireland and since they don't recognize your US marriage you marry another chick, totally legal!

Wild, Dude!

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Sounds like the US marrige will legally carry over to Ireland if we ever decide to move. We were also wondeing because we're planning on having a ceremony in Ireland after the US civil marrige but still living in the US once we're married. My fiancee is bummed we can only have a marrige "blessing" in Ireland since we'll already be married in the states, but it's not the end of the world anyway.

Thanks for the help!!
