Getting Married K1 Visa

hi,

I'm a canadian and my gurlfriend is american. If I were to go to her
state on vacation and we were to get married would we be able to
skip the K1 Visa part and go straight to the next part? Also would
me entering the country like that be seen as illigal entry? I was told that

"It is illegal to enter the US as a tourist with intention of getting married and remaining in the US. If it wasn't, then there would not be a fiance visa in existence!!
If you ignore the fact that you are breaking the immigration laws and go ahead with this plan, you will have a difficult time explaining yourself at the AOS interview that you will have to attend to ever get a Green Card. "

So If I entered on vacation, I would have to ask her to marry me, come back here and wait like 8 months for the K1 process to go thru and then return to her in the US and get married? Is there any change in the process being so closely related with the US...being Canadian?

All I want is to be with the girl that I love SO much. Is there anyway to make things easier? I read about getting a working Visa but from what I understand u have to get an employer to sponser you (Which I dont understand because how can u get a working visa if you have to have a job already?), or have some kind of special skill or trade.. which unfortunately I do not.

I'm tired of being apart from her and would do anything to be with her. I do mean anything. She has her own place and a good job. I dont want to go there and ask her to marry me and then have to leave her for like 8 months.. and I dont want to ask her from here.... all I want is to be with her and be able to see her everyday..

Can anyone please help me and give me some useful information or ideas as to how I can accomplish this?
