Canadian in the USA on F1 visa, marrying an American

I am a Canadian citizen, who went to college in California. I graduated in May of 2010, at which point I moved back to Canada to wait for my work visa (I-765) to be approved. I moved BACK to California in November 2010, where I have been working ever since. My visa expires on July 14. I am engaged to an American citizen (a US Marine), and I'm seriously confused about what the process is that we should follow.

Should we get married before my visa expires? Should we NOT? Should I go back to Canada once my visa expires? Would it be easier to get married in Canada or the States? Do I have to enter under some kind of visa when I come back? Any explanation would be extremely helpful. Thank you!
