 He's going to have to contact his embassy and find out about getting you a visa in his country if that's where you guys are going to live. Pick the country you want to live in and marry there.

 If we go by classic bridal etiquette , the wedding should be celebrated at the bride's location, so in your country.
But obviously this is not a must , and if convenience or personal preferences dictate otherwise, do what you like.
Just make sure that the marriage is legal in both contries, i.e. it gets transcripted at the Registry Office of your Embassy in his country and viceversa !

He has been in America for a few years so does he already have an American citizenship or a visa? If so then I would get married here if this is where you guys are going to live. When are you guys going to get married? I would call your local county clerk's office and inquire about getting a marriage license if he isn't an American citizen just yet. You may have to jump through some hoops. Reason I say that is a friend of mine married a British man, and it was a lot of trouble getting a visa for him. She also had 2 weddings..One here and another one with his family in Britain. That maybe an option for you two.

If neither of you much care, either way, your decision will probably be based on your guestlist... how many people will be inconvenienced by the location you end up choosing... who is more able to fly this way or that... If your wedding is less formal and your guestlist more small, you'll have to provide us a bit more information on you and your future spouse's tastes and feelings on this matter... in the end, you'll make the choice that is most practical and special.
Best wishes,

 Remember many cultures don't accept anothers marrige license. Have something small in both and avoid the family issues sure to arise.
