canadian wants to marry an american

[needstoknow]

I am a Canadian citizen living in the united states. I came here legally in Febuary 2009, I am only overstayed by about 3 months. While down here, my boyfriend and i have decided we want to get married. What is the best process to go about doing this? Can we get married and then apply for a change of status? Or do we have to do the fiance visa first? IF we can get married first how do we get married without me having an ssn?

get marriage to your boyfriend *US Citizen* first, then apply your status for GC after your marriage.
