Many states do require you be a "resident" in order to get married, and others do not. Most do not require anything beyond a declaration and valid ID such as your passport.

Here is a link that summarizes the requirements by state. Note Hawaii for example requires no residency to get married. California looks pretty good too.

Friends of mine went to Nevada on holiday for two weeks and came back married.

Obviously no ID was needed for that.

The marriage must have been legal, within no time they filed for a divorce.
Had to pay a lot to solicitors to sort it all out and get the divorce too.

If you are going to marry another Brit and go back to the UK you can get married in Nevada. Vegas is a hot spot for that kind of thing. However, if you are to live in America you will need a visa. You have to apply at the Embassy for this and submit an affidavit etc to the consulate.
