If I remember correctly, the K-1 is for if you were wanting to marry in the US with the intention of settling there with your US spouse afterwards.
Like I mentioned earlier, my husband and I married and he was in the US on a VW. I belong to another forum that is specific for Americans in the UK and they had a wealth of info regarding this. There are many people that have done just as you are proposing. The main thing is, if it comes up, you prove that you are not intending to settle in the US after the marriage. If your soon-to-be wife is planning on applying for the UK spouse visa soon after the marriage, it can be fairly easy to prove that. For her application you will need to provide her with things like your lease/mortgage, payslips, letter from employer,etc, all the same things will also go to show that you don't intend to settle. So, bring all that documentation with you and have it with you on the plane so it's readily available. Also, they may not even ask. My husband had all of that stuff and it never even came up; he basically got "welcome to the United States and enjoy your stay".
