Can an Irish person marry an F1 visa holder in the states?

I’m Irish and my boyfriend is Korean living in the states for 10 years on a
student visa. He is graduating next year and will do OPT. We have been doing long
distance for a long time and plan to get married next year. Firstly, can we get
married in the states? Andsecondly when we are married officially, what is the
procedure for me to be able to stay by his side in the US? Thanks

Yes, you can marry in the United States and once you are married you can apply for a dependent visa such as the F-2 (if he is still in F-1 status) to continue to remain in the US lawfully as his spouse.
