This may help. I think you're being (at best) unrealistic and at at worst silly, in trying to avoid having to return back to the US first.

As far as I am aware, you would need to make the application to get married while you are resident in the US then move to Germany once the paperwork is in order. You've no chance at all of getting the rules bent for you - the Germans love the rules and regulations and will not bend them for anyone.

Sorry, but that's how it is. Sucks, but if you love each other then it won't be too bad. I've done it myself and it sucks, but it's not that awful.

The ehefähgkeitszeugnis is, literally translated, a certificate of non-impediement. It is a legal document that proves you're legally able to wed.

In Germany, you must pay church taxes. if you want a church wedding, find out what denomination your fiance belongs to and arrange a wedding through that church. if he doesn't pay church taxes, then really good luck to you.

I'll be honest with you -your post is contradictory (at the start you say that things don't take long and you won't have to leave the EU, then you contradict that at the end) and yo don't seem to have a clue.

Getting married in the EU isn't a straight forward affair if you're marrying a non-EU citizen. Hell, my husband and I are EU citizens residing in the UK and we wanted to wed in Rome, but even that was a nightmare to arrange so we gave up an wed locally, and we ARE EU citizens and passport holders.

What I've said shouldn't be considered actual advice, but I will say this - find a lawyer or someone who can help you, and sort out what you're actually saying. Contradicting yourself will just land you in a mess.
