The three-years-as-permanent-resident thing seems to be the number one rule as far as these things go. I'm a UK citizen and I'm still stuck with international fees just because I'd been living in the States until a year before I started uni.

Overseas. It's not based so much on citizenship as actual physical residency. Even if you're a citizen, if you haven't actually lived in the EU for 3 years, you're overseas.

Residency is key. This is why I'll be taking 3 years off before going back for my Masters :(

I doubt being married has anything to do with the fees, I'm afraid.

International students are how they get their money! So they'll probably makes the rules pretty strict.

I'm afraid that you are almost certainly going to have to wait the three years if you want to pay home fees. I know several people with both US and UK citizenship, but since they didn't live in the UK for 3 years before doing their master's degrees, they had to pay overseas fees. They're more concerned with residency than citizenship.
