No he would not have to be a citizen to get married.Have you checked the National Archives web sight they have a lot of information onnaturalization laws etc.
good luck
Also remember that in the time period you are seaching you might not find a marriage record in the city archives.A lot of times
the couples would be married in Church and the certificate never sent to the city for recording.I have found that in my research.
What I have done was write to the various church in the area they lived in and was able to get a copy of their marriage.(sometimes)
good luck
