Basically works the same way as in the UK, but you won't be able to get into the US (married or not) unless you get a waiver if you were banned.

Where do you plan on living after you're married? You'll still have to endure immigration process somewhere, whether US, or UK.

And as Steve mentioned if you're already banned, being married now isn't going to get you in. You'll have to go back to UK to wait out the petition and application and waiver process.

For info on marriage based immigration to the US see http://www.visajourney.com ALL the info you need is already there. Including info about waivers.
