Getting married in the USA is legal.

Enter for a visit get married and leave, then file the papers.

If your country requires a visitors visa before entering the USA then you have to get one before you can go visit the USA.

No problem with getting married in the US and then leaving. You usually only run into problems if you come to marry and intend to stay.

I got married in the US while on VWP, then left two weeks later. My husband then filed the I-130 a couple of months after that. Was never questioned about it at all.

Good luck!
