More details to this question:
I met my fiance at work. Employee handbook says it's okay to date but not to be married and work together. Then there's a facility manual that I just found out about that says we can't live together and we live together never knowing of the other manual. If we were to both get fired for this, can we sue?

Yes, you may be fired for this. No, you have no legal remedy. For more info, Google this: Georgia, employment at will.

I cannot tell you without examining the documents, therefore you should engage an attorney. Whatever the rules and regulations of your employer are, they are the terms and conditions of your continued employment, if you violate them you are subject to termination.

You can sue, but you will probably lose (unless you live in California or similar state). The rules are the rules and they are not enforcing them because you are a member of a protected class.
