no you do not need to register your marriage or re-marry here

No; the US does not have a national registry of marriages.

You do not have to register your marriage here in the states. You may want to consider taking your marriage certificate to the local courts though. They can keep a copy on file in case you need a "certified" copy for anything in the future. There is a fee for the service and it varies depending on where you are.
